Auberge Resorts has set a new standard in the luxury hospitality space by rolling out Incentient SmartTouch in their properties from coast to coast. Auberge has already installed SmartTouch at the Palmetto Bluff resort in South Carolina, the Jerome Hotel in Aspen, Calistoga Ranch in California and Esperanza Resort in Cabo San Lucas; the company plans to continue its deployment in its other resorts.

"While we have experienced success at many select properties throughout the world, we are now installing systems for entire brands, which is a big accelerator to our growth story. Auberge Resorts is a great example of an enterprise client who wants to deliver a consistent brand experience for their guests, while still offering a bespoke environment at each property," says Patrick J. Martucci, chairman, CEO and co-founder of Incentient. "SmartTouch software has delivered proven results for both independent, as well as enterprise, hoteliers."

Already the industry leader in providing its touch-screen SmartCellar(SM) wine lists at the world's best restaurants, Incentient's guestroom system is emerging as the top choice among elite hotels. SmartTouch allows hotels to offer their guests a richer hospitality experience utilizing 100 percent wireless, touch-screen technology. With SmartTouch, guests can easily access any number of hospitality services including the direct ordering of room service, booking spa treatments, requesting bell service and accessing entire concierge offerings, without picking up a phone or leaving their room.
