The case

The Hotel Colonial Barcelona is an 81-room city hotel that has been operating since 2009. It has a buffet breakfast room located on the lower floor and a bar within the establishment itself.

During 2025, the hotel recorded around 36,000 overnight stays, which means high customer turnover and demanding operational requirements, especially at times of high demand.

In this context, efficient management of check-in, check-out, billing, and occupancy control processes becomes key to ensuring a good guest experience and smooth internal operations.

‘We have gone from spending between one and two hours on manual occupancy tasks to resolving it in four clicks. With an annual volume of more than 36,000 overnight stays, Prestige allows us to manage check-in, check-out, billing and occupancy quickly and efficiently, even at peak times.’

The challenge

Before implementing Prestige, the team at Hotel Colonial faced several operational challenges:
Slow manual processes during peak times
Difficulty in managing check-in and check-out efficiently
Manual preparation of occupancy and nationality lists, which took between one and two hours of work.
Need to optimise invoicing and sending invoices to customers
With a high volume of guests, these processes slowed down daily work and took time away from customer service.

The solution

The implementation of the Prestige management system has enabled the Hotel Colonial to digitise and simplify the hotel’s main operational processes:
Streamlining customer service
From the moment the guest arrives, the system allows:
Quick check-in
Request for documentation in a streamlined manner
Immediate payment management
This is particularly useful during times of high demand and high customer traffic.
Quick and efficient check-out
Thanks to Prestige, departure processes are also simplified:
Check out in just four clicks
Prepaid services
Less waiting and greater customer satisfaction
Occupancy control and key data
One of the system’s great strengths is the generation of lists:
Hotel occupancy
Nationality of customers
Data by year, month or week
Previously, this task was performed manually and was very time-consuming. Now, the system generates reports immediately and the data is exported in XML format, making it easy to share and analyse.
Simplified invoicing
Billing is another key area where Prestige adds value:
Direct sending of invoices by email to the customer
Possibility of modifying invoices
Reallocation of already invoiced items
Centralised and flexible management
