Hotel AI Assistant with Emotional Intelligence | Lycia AI
🏨 Hotel AI with Emotional Intelligence

The hotel AI assistant that
knows what your guests are feeling right now.

A button press tells you nothing.
A conversation tells you everything.

Your guest app knows which button they pressed. Lycia AI knows what they're feeling. That's the difference between a 1-star and a 5-star review.

😀

Frustration goes undetected

A guest sends their 3rd complaint at midnight. Your system treats it like complaint #1. Nobody escalates. Bad review incoming.

68% of bad reviews were preventable
πŸ’°

Revenue moments are missed

An anniversary couple walks past the spa tent card. A pool guest orders nothing. The upsell moment passes. Silently.

$180+ revenue missed per room/month

Guest apps collect dust

You spent $50K+ on a guest app. 19% downloaded it. After checkout? Deleted. No re-engagement. No ROI.

Does the work, doesn't just talk

A chatbot says "Breakfast is 7-10am." Lycia AI actually books the table. Using our enterprise tool calling protocol and bi-directional PMS sync, it scans profiles, executes tasks, and alerts staff in 3 seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is emotional intelligence in a hotel AI?+

Lycia AI uses real-time sentiment analysis to detect how guests are feeling (frustration, excitement, disappointment, satisfaction) across every message. Unlike button-based guest apps, Lycia AI understands context and emotion, allowing it to escalate issues before they become bad reviews, and respond with genuine empathy rather than scripted replies.

How does contextual upselling work?+

Lycia AI combines PMS data (booking details, special occasions, stay history) with real-time conversation context to identify the perfect moment for an offer. A couple celebrating their anniversary gets a spa offer. A guest at the pool gets a drink suggestion. It converts 4.2x better than email blasts, generating $180+ additional revenue per room per month.

How much does it cost?+

Pricing is tailored to your property β€” based on room count, use case, and integrations. Every plan includes emotional intelligence, sentiment analysis, contextual upselling, 140+ languages, WhatsApp, SMS, and Web Chat. Most hotels see a 60% reduction in operational costs and $180+ in additional revenue per room, meaning Lycia AI pays for itself many times over.

Does Lycia AI integrate with my PMS?+

Yes. Lycia AI integrates with all major PMS systems. It reads guest data, booking details, and preferences to personalize every interaction. It also writes back, updating reservations, processing upsells, and logging guest preferences for future stays.

How long does setup take?+

10 days. We upload your hotel data (menus, policies, room types, services), connect your PMS, and Lycia AI goes live. No IT project, no months of development. Your staff doesn't need training. Lycia AI handles 80%+ of guest requests autonomously and routes the rest to the right team member with full context.
