A new beach hotel in Majorca is encouraging guests to interact with staff and each other using Twitter as part of a virtual hotel community.
Guests at the Sol Wave House Hotel in Magaluf can channel their love of social media and network with other guests without ever having to leave their room.
Visitors can log onto their personal Twitter accounts using the hotel’s wifi connection and chat, share photos or even flirt with other guests using the hashtag #SocialWave.
The @SolWaveHouse Twitter page also allows them to keep tabs on any new visitors who have checked in, in case there is someone they would like to connect with.
Guests staying at the #TwitterPartySuites, which sleep up to four people, get the exclusive service of the hotel’s Twitter Concierges as well as a free drink per person at the #TwitterParty which takes place every Friday around the hotel’s pool.
Guests can contact the Twitter Concierges to have their fridge restocked, order room service or any other requests using hashtags.
Other extras for Twitter Party Suite guests include a bottle of cava, a 20 per cent discount at the bars and restaurants within the Wave House, VIP sunbeds and a mini bar that can be customised to your liking for an additional fee.
The hotel hopes the new #SocialWave community will help visitors “meet people, make friends and have fun”.
"Our main clients are young and social people, who are always looking for new experiences to share with a growing virtual community,” said a Twitter Concierge. “With #SocialWave we wanted to meet this aspiration."
Technophobes will be pleased to hear the hotel also encourages face to face interaction however, with facilities for guests that include five golf courses and two ‘Flowboarding’ machines that allow you to surf on waves pumped from a machine.
Guests can also mingle at the hotel’s 2,500 sq m terrace and outdoor swimming pools overlooking the Mediterranean, as well as at the hotel’s bars, lounges and concert areas.
