How the Four Seasons Hotel Palo Alto uses social media for customer service

It is pleasant to remark that some hotel truly understands the way of using the social media. There is only Four Seasons hotel groups to have this sense of customer service and attention even out of their establishment.
This week I’ve wrote that one of the Four Saison’s hotel answer quickly to a customer’s tweet who was saying that he was so exciting in being to the Four Saisons Hotel Palo Alto spa to relax after his long day. The hotel quickly replies to his tweet by proposing him to make a reservation.
In reading the article, I was amazed by the hotel’s reaction. That is what we can call “customer care”. They deliver unique service to this client; furthermore they enhance their host’s unique experiences.

Social media is not only a tool to promote and to communicate about the hotel. It is also a way of engagement and human being relation. I really like this approach of service. They create a real relationship by listening the customer’s need.
