A Five Star Yelp Elite Event @ the Hotel Diva

Posted by Nicole Redding on Wed, Apr 25, 2012 @ 05:01 PM

San Francisco's boutique hotel chain, Personality Hotels are known for gaping the distance between residence and hotel: providing guests the best of home life in the most desirable environment away from home. And now thanks to YelpSF, last night Personality Hotels was able to let its hair down and showcase a different side of its "Personality."Yelp Elite Blog image copy resized 600So what is all the Yelping about? 

According to Yelp :
  • Yelp was founded in 2004 to help people find great local businesses like dentists, hair stylists and mechanics

Why we <3 Yelp: Real People, Real Reviews!

The Who's Who of Vendors:

(Following the vendors' photos from left to right)

Picayune Cellars-- Picayune is pronounced {pi-ka-’yun}. Where Picayune comes from is Spain. It is a Spanish coin worth half of the value of a “real” one.

Mission Minis-- Big things, come in small packages! No wonder Mission Minis made it to the television show "Cupcake Wars!"

T-We--T-We Tea's motto is ‘we are tea,’ they strive to create an all-encompassing community of tea drinkers.

Hey Cookie-- is a Yelp 5-star bakery located in the Castro. What's more famous than their cookies is Christa's Personality!  

Blue Moon-- Blue Moon was established in 1995 at "The Sandlot" in Dever, Colorado. It didn't take long before Blue Moon won the World's Beer Championship 3 years in a row for their Belgian White. 

San Franola-- It's all about the granola with these guys. They put the 'goodness' back into granola.

Rosenblumcellars-- Rosenblum Cellars is all about the Zin. Rosenblum Cellars is home of some of the highest rated, most-awarded Zins from California’s most highly regarded vineyards.

5th Stitch Collective-- is a men's and women's clothing store located in the Castro. Ask about their Terrariums!

REMRIDG Wines-- is owned by the husband and wife team Jeff and Karen Roberts and a few long-time friends, REMRIDG Wines is a vineyard-driven wine brand. REMRIDG Wines sources 100% of its grapes from FARM Napa Valley clients.

Farm+Cellar-- is grown organically from the media powerhouse that is Third Street Works, Farm+Cellar represents the combination of several proven talents from the advertising, filmmaking, education, food, wine and hospitality industries.

Sudwerks Brewing-- Since it was established in 1989, Ron Broward, Dean Unger and Brewmaster Jay Prahl have been producing award winning lager.

See what some of these Yelpers had to said about us @ the Hotel Diva:

Maria S. said, "You don't need to be a Diva to go here, but you'll feel like one afterwards."

Moua L. said, "Thank you to the YELP team for making these events memorable and Hotel Diva staff for treating us like royalty."

Noel M. said, "I walk past Hotel Diva daily but never gave it a second thought beyond the burlesque-esk window shades.  Inside the vibe continues, this isn't your everyday hotel.  For instance, the themed room packages are unique and if you put a techno beat in the elevators, you've got a party."

Special thanks to photographers, Jorge Nova and Jeremiah. Thank you to DJ SonnyPhono for all the Diva Classics!  

This all was made possible because of Yelp's finest: Jennifer, Nique and Ruggy!

Last but not least, thank you to our partners Perrier for supplying the sparkling water to all of the Yelp Elite writers!

Personality Hotels and ATRIO™ Heads Are UP On A Cloud!

Posted by Nicole Redding on Mon, Apr 23, 2012 @ 11:00 AM

Last week, our very own President and CEO Yvonne Lembi-Detert, our Director of Revenue and Reservations Stuart Harless, and our Guest Services Manager Domitille Montoro, engaged in a "60 Minute" style interview with ATRIO™ ( a Guest Experience Management platform) at the Hotel Diva in San Francisco,California. Tick, Tick, Tick

60 minute interviews with Personality Hotels copy 2

 

Like 60 Minutes, Here is your sneak peek:

“We sit in the <3 of a city known for technology and innovation and ATRIO fits very well into our vision to lead the industry through service excellence, innovation, and style. We’re very proud to represent the first deployment of the ATRIO platform. It has always been a practice for Personality Hotels to engage with creative and cutting edge companies.” -Yvonne Lembi-Detert, President & CEO, Personality Hotels.

Why Personality Hotels <3 ATRIO: ATRIO offers the industry’s only platform purpose-built for true cloud computing.

 

Did we mention we are the first ever to use this innovative platform?

 

What This Means To You: Hotel Diva wouldn't miss a step when it comes to offering you, the guest, the best! Since ATRIO minimizes implementation and training efforts and drastically reduces the technology footprint, Hotel Diva can be up and running within days instead of weeks.

What This Looks Like: A modern modular design, and Hotel Diva has the use of an Enterprise Service Bus. 

There are too many benefits to list but, what we <3ed the most was the true cloud computing and the “zero training” user experience. 

Thanks to our Friends at ATRIO, Personality Hotels are taking hospitality to a whole new level--to the clouds!
Beta Tested, Diva Approved!

ATTENTION - Hotel Diva is in Vanity Fair :)

Posted by Danika Garlotta on Tue, Jan 10, 2012 @ 10:08 AM

 VanityFairAd

We are very excited at Personality Hotels to say that we did our first ad campaign with Vanity Fair. Sure we have advertised before, but this was a very special moment for the PH team - our first campaign in a national magazine. We worked with a wonderful San Francisco based photographer Brandon Doran (http://www.brandondoranphotography.com/) who was able to truly capture the essence of Hotel Diva. 

Did you Know: The male we used in this photo shoot with all the amazing tattoos, is actually a random traveler, visiting from Australia, who we found at Chipotle. His art was impressive, so we approached him and asked if he would like to participate. He gladly said yes and an hour later we had him and his girlfriend working on the shoot with us. 

Currently the issue with our ad campaign can be found in Western LA. Enjoy.
