Shared Inbox

Every guest conversation in one place your whole team can see.

Hello Hotel gives your property one inbox for calls, texts, and email. Every conversation is organized by guest, visible to whoever is on shift, and tied to the hotel’s number instead of anyone’s personal phone. The night shift picks up exactly where the morning shift left off, with no handoff notes to write and no time spent recapping.

What you get

An inbox built around how hotel teams actually work.

Shifts change, staff turn over, and guests reach out on whatever channel is closest. The inbox is what holds all of it together.

One thread per guest, across every channel

Nothing sits in the queue unnoticed

A dashboard that shows who is still waiting

Replies that go out fast and still sound like your hotel

Everyone’s in the loop

Better for your team and better for your guests.

When everyone can see the same conversation, a handoff stops being a debrief and becomes a glance at the screen.

01 — For your front desk

Every guest has one thread.

Every call, text, voicemail, and email with a guest sits in one place. You pick up where the last shift left off without asking anyone what happened overnight.

02 — For shift handoffs

The handoff happens in the inbox.

Mark a conversation Follow Up and leave an internal note for whoever comes on next. Tag them by name and it lands on their dashboard, so the detail lives exactly where your teammate can act on it.

03 — For your GM or owner

You see everything without sitting at the desk.

Watch how your team responds, who is handling what, and where conversations stall. Give feedback and support while it’s still timely and can actually help, without leaning over anyone’s shoulder.

04 — For your guests

They feel known by the whole hotel.

Guests never repeat themselves when a new person answers. Whoever picks up next already has the stay, the request, and the history in front of them.

Frequently asked questions

What is a shared inbox for hotels?

It’s one place where your whole team sees every guest conversation, instead of messages scattered across personal cell phones, a front desk voicemail box, and an info@ address nobody owns. In Hello Hotel, each guest gets a single thread that holds their calls, texts, voicemails, and emails. Anyone with access to that phone number can read the history and respond, so the conversation belongs to the property rather than to whoever happened to answer.

How is this different from a group email address or a shared cell phone?

A group inbox tells you a message arrived but not whether anyone handled it, and a shared cell phone walks out the door at the end of a shift. Hello Hotel gives every conversation a status, keeps missed calls and unresolved voicemails on a dashboard until a person actually follows up, and holds the number and the history at the organization level.

Can we control which staff see which conversations?

Yes. Access is granted per phone number, so you can give housekeeping one line, the front desk another, and management everything. Notification routing follows the same assignments, so people only get alerted about the numbers they work.

What happens to conversations when an employee leaves?

Nothing moves. Phone numbers belong to the organization, not to individual staff, so the number, the thread history, and the guest context all stay put when you remove someone from the team.

Where do guest voicemails go?

Into the guest’s thread, transcribed and summarized, so you can read a voicemail instead of listening to it. Unresolved voicemails also sit in their own dashboard queue with the caller and the room, and they stay there until someone on your team resolves them.

Can we send email from the inbox too?

Yes. Email is a full channel in the composer alongside calls and texts. You can send with a subject line, watch delivery status in the thread, and retry a failed send or push it out as an SMS instead. Connect your own Gmail, SMTP server, or Resend account so email comes from your hotel’s address.

Does the inbox work on mobile?

Yes. The inbox runs on web and on iOS, and the Missed Calls, Voicemails, and Tagged-for-you dashboard cards are on both. Photos a guest texts pinch to zoom on mobile.

Does it connect to our PMS?

Hello Hotel has a certified Mews integration. Guest contacts sync both ways, every thread opens with live stay dates, room number, reservation status, and booking source, and you can filter the whole inbox by Arriving, In-House, Departing, or Future.

How much does Hello Hotel cost?

Plans start at $99/mo, with calls billed per minute and texts billed per segment. There’s no hardware to buy, and your plan covers your whole team up to its user count rather than charging per seat from the first person.
