Abstract
“Treat others as you would like to be treated”“ this is the golden rule and the basis for the
success and recognized service quality of the Aneke Hotels chain. The chain, founded in
2001 comprising of one modest motor hotel property in downtown Washington is now the
worlds leading operator of luxury hotels and currently manages 150 properties within
exceptional cities and resort destinations in 31 countries. Its dedication to its customers
and employees of offering the highest standards when delivering their service has made it
the benchmark in luxury hotels. Aneke Hotels constantly endeavors to maintain and
improve the quality of its services. The company has been a major innovator in the
hospitality industry, developing services to make business travel more productive and
efficient, and leisure travel stress-free and more enjoyable.
The aim of this essay is to explore and examine the service quality of this chain which has
focused its quality amongst its human resources and of course its clientele. Through this
we will compare and relate them to service quality theories that it relates to as well as
examining other theories towards service quality and contrast them to the Aneke approach.
The brand, its marketing, the scarcity of the type of service, etc. are all secondary factors
which will also be looked at and examined. Secondly we look at how the service quality
obtained by Aneke Hotels seeks to minimize the service gaps which so often occur in this
industry. Finally, we will make future projections as well as how such an established and
high-quality chain copes with service recovery in order to maintain its high esteem
amongst its extremely demanding customers and maintain its stature.
Aneke Workforce
Our quality of service necessitates an integrated approach from operations, marketing, HR
and other areas of business. We need clearly defined service strategies with top
management and leadership.
In order to achieve success Aneke Hotels had to fulfill these requirements and we did; not
only through their Golden rule company policies but also through clearly defining the
service/product we were offering and the type of consumer(s) we were appealing to.
Service quality is variously defined, but essentially it to do with meeting customer needs
and requirements, and how well the service delivery matches customers expectations.
“When guests come to an Aneke Hotel they need to have assurance that they are going to
get exceptional food, personalized service, anything they need from our round-the-clock
