STAMFORD, CT—Aloft Hotels has launched Aloft TiGi (Text it. Get it.) Emoji Room Service, the world’s first emoji-only room service menu. Starting today, guests at the newly opened Aloft Manhattan Downtown – Financial District in New York City can simply text an emoji of what they want to the hotel’s front desk and within minutes, the delivery is made.
The Aloft TiGi Emoji Room Service Menu will launch with six specialty kits, each with essentials that can easily be conveyed via emoji. To order, guests simply text the corresponding emojis from the in-room Aloft TiGi Emoji Room Service Menu to the hotel’s dedicated TiGi number and include their room number. The hotel then confirms the order via text and quickly runs it up. Kits start at $10 and are included in guests’ final check out bills.
The debut Aloft TiGi Menu features six different kits including The Hangover (vitaminwater, Advil, bananas), The Munchies (Doritos, Snickers, etc.) and The Re:Fresh (toothpaste, razor, etc.)
