"With the economy continuing to head south, hotels are finding that they need to work harder and smarter to maintain their bottom line," said Scott van Hartesvelt, gCommerce president. "Savvy owners are very aware of the huge potential the Internet offers their hotels, from increased bookings to online promotions. The Lenox Hotel, long a local trendsetter, has decided to take proactive steps to maximize their online presence and revenue potential."

We're confident they will be able to add significant value and help us optimize revenues in a challenging economic environment," said Dan Donahue, General Manager of The Lenox Hotel.
