Radisson Edwardian extends check-out with Foursquare check-in

Radisson Edwardian has launched a new scheme using Foursquare and Facebook Places. The scheme allows customers to extend their checkout by two hours when they check in to one of its 12 London hotels or Manchester property. Once they have checked in, guests can show their smartphone to the front desk and delay the time they have to leave. “We’re constantly looking for ways to enrich the hotel experience for our guests and this was a great opportunity to once again connect an online interaction with an offline benefit,” said Amy Clarke, e-commerce manager for Radisson Edwardian. “Checking in on Facebook or Foursquare has been popular with our guests, so rewarding them with a couple of extra hours in bed seemed like a nice way to say thanks.”
