Boutique hotels thrive on personality,intimacy,and personalized service.Their communication systems should reflect this—no clunky hardware,no unnecessary complexity,just reliable tools that enhance guest interactions.Redstone’s REX 200 IP-PBX is tailored to this niche,offering a compact,affordable solution that’s perfect for 200-room or smaller boutique properties.
The REX 200’s compact design fits seamlessly into boutique hotels’limited backroom space—no need for large server racks.Its plug-and-play setup means even hotels without dedicated IT staff can get it running in hours,not days.A 50-room boutique in New Orleans set up their REX 200 in 3 hours,with help from Redstone’s step-by-step guide.
Essential features focus on guest experience,not bloat.The REX 200 includes core tools boutique hotels need:multi-language IVR,guest room phone customization(e.g.,branded greetings),and wake-up calls.It skips enterprise-level features(like 10,000-user support)that add cost without value.A 100-room boutique in Barcelona reported paying 60%less than they would for a larger IP-PBX,with all the features they needed.
Integration with small-scale PMS systems simplifies operations.The REX 200 connects to entry-level tools like RMS and Cloudbeds,automating check-in/out phone setup and billing.When a guest checks in,their room phone activates with their name—e.g.,“Welcome to The Ivy,Ms.Patel”—without front desk staff lifting a finger.This personal touch,said a boutique owner,“makes guests feel like they’re staying at a friend’s villa,not a hotel.”
Mobile extensions keep small teams connected.Boutique hotels often run on lean staff,so the REX 200’s support for NewLync mobile extensions is a game-changer.The owner/manager can answer front desk calls on their smartphone while greeting guests,and housekeepers can coordinate via instant messaging.A 30-room boutique in Dali used this to reduce“unanswered calls”by 50%,even with just 3 staff on shift.
Reliability ensures no service gaps.While compact,the REX 200 includes basic redundancy:backup power for short outages and automatic failover to PSTN lines.A coastal boutique in Greece relied on this during a storm,keeping phones working so guests could request extra blankets.
In summary,the REX 200 IP-PBX is a boutique hotel’s perfect communication partner.It’s affordable,easy to use,and focused on the features that matter—helping small properties deliver big on service and personality.
