Valencia Group Hotels Adds Virtual Reality Experience to Court Brand
SAN ANTONIO (PRWEB) September 06, 2018 -- Valencia Group is elevating the guest booking experience with the launch of its new virtual reality platform. The Houston-based hotel company has partnered with YouVisit to provide potential guests the opportunity to experience its properties, prior to booking a stay or checking in. Harnessing nostalgia for the motor court travel adventures of yesteryear, Lone Star Court in Austin, Texas and Cavalry Court in College Station, Texas have a retro feel, while offering upscale amenities.
The unique qualities of the court branded hotels, make for a perfect pairing with VR technology as the virtual tour gives a real-life look at their fun and quirky signature offerings such as outdoor fire pits, SMEG refrigerators, vintage cars and live music. Through the new platform, users can take 360-degree tours of the properties on desktop, or engage in a fully immersive exploration via smartphone headsets.
“This virtual reality experience has answered the question that’s so often asked, “What is a court?” The real-life visuals of our properties help us to tell our brand story,” says Amy Trench, Corporate Director of Brand Marketing & Public Relations. “This type of platform is also an entertaining way to engage our guests and customers right from the comfort of their home while they dream of their future visit.”
As Valencia Group’s court brand continues to expand with the upcoming opening of Texican Court in Dallas this fall, guests will be able to get a feel for what the new property will have to offer by experiencing the brand’s existing retro-inspired court properties through the virtual reality platform.
