TIGERLILY, the Edinburgh boutique hotel, restaurant and bar, has created its own-brand mobile guest app using the intuitive app-builder developed by travel tech firm Criton.
The new app will give guests easy access to room and check-in information, details of services available at the five-star venue, restaurant booking and local recommendations, along with links to social media channels and the ability to post reviews, from their smartphones.
The deal follows a series of new moves at Criton including integrations with technology providers GuestRevu and Impala.

Julie Grieve, founder and chief executive of Edinburgh and London-based Criton, said: “We are delighted to be working with Tigerlily, and to have the chance to showcase our technology with one of Edinburgh’s most distinctive hospitality brands.
“Tigerlily is using the app comprehensively, with ‘book again’ and feedback functions alongside key information.”
Jodi Tamblin, of Tigerlily, said: “We are moving forward with new technology to add to and enhance the guest experience and we found in Criton the perfect technology partner.
“Criton’s platform enabled us to digitise the guest information and create our own branded app through which we can engage with our guests.”
Others adopting Criton’s technology include The Scotsman Hotel, The Edinburgh Collection and Reserve Apartments.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
