Since opening in 2007, the Hilton Dallas/Southlake Town Square has set a precedent for outstanding guest service. This continues with the launch of its new website, www.hiltonsouthlaketownsquare.com, which features additional information about the hotel and local tourist attractions; new images of the property and its amenities; and social media links to Facebook, Twitter and blog.
According to General Manager Mike Hutchison, the new website is meant to supplement, not replace, the property’s existing page on the Hilton global website.
“The launch of this new, independent website is a milestone for the hotel and an important tool for our sales and marketing efforts. We realize the importance of online search when people are considering a hotel for vacation or a special event,” stated Hutchison, noting guests will be able to make reservations from both websites. “Our goal is to better tell our story through an expanded photo gallery, videos, social media, and a blog.”
The custom-designed website is organized into seven primary categories to fully showcase the hotel’s offerings for the leisure guest, corporate traveler, and event planner:
“We added the connect section to integrate our social media activity onto the website and encourage guest feedback on those platforms,” Hutchison points out. “Another new feature is the careers section so applicants can apply directly to us.”
