Ensemble Launches Dedicated Hotel Group Desk

Ensemble has launched an all-new Hotel Group Desk designed to support consortium members with complex, large-scale hotel group bookings of nine or more rooms by removing the time-consuming administrative burdens advisors encounter.

According to the consortium, the Hotel Group Desk was created in direct response to demand for additional support when managing multi-room and multi-property hotel bookings. The Hotel Group Desk support team can act as an intermediary on behalf of members, handling sourcing, negotiations, and administrative coordination with preferred hotel partners.

Led by a newly appointed Hotel Specialist, the desk manages key operational details including availability requests, contracting, deposits, and attrition terms, allowing advisors to focus their time on revenue-generating activities and client relationships rather than back-end logistics. 

Requests submitted through the Hotel Group Desk will be fulfilled within 48 hours for domestic bookings and 72 business hours for international bookings, with advisors receiving three to five qualified hotel options. 

“Our Hotel Group Desk removes the need for members to chase multiple hotels, manage initial negotiations, and sift through availability and terms,” said Daniel Finkel, senior vice president of partner relations at Ensemble. “Once a preferred option is selected, advisors are connected directly to the hotel to finalize contracting and payments, allowing them more time to focus on clients and revenue generating work.”  

The Hotel Group Deskis available exclusively for Ensemble’s preferred hotel partners.
