The Aloft hotel in Manhattan's financial district has launched a new way to communicate with guests who need room service: by emoji.
The program is called Aloft TiGi for text it, get it.
The hotel sells six specialty kits, ranging from $10 to $30, which guests can order by texting the right emojis to a dedicated number along with their room number.
Kits include "The Re:Fresh," with toothpaste, toothbrush, razor, shaving cream and deodorant, which can be ordered using emojis that include a tub and shower; "The Hangover," two bottle of vitaminwater, Advil and two bananas, ordered with emojis for a drop of water, a pill and a banana; and "Surprise Me," promising "fun swag" and "cool stuff," ordered with an emoji of a wrapped box.
The hotel then confirms the order via text and delivers it to the room. Charges are included on the checkout bill.
