A faster, more convenient way to become our guest
The Rose Hotel is on its way to utilizing a Quick Response code on our printed materials, such as key holders, business cards, presentation folders and the like.
Here’s why. The millions of people who own smart phones ¬– such as the Android, iPhone, BlackBerry – and have downloaded Quick Response code applications can scan the Quick Response barcode and be taken directly to our mobile website. From there guests can make reservations.

This is much easier and faster than having to do a conventional search. It’s the kind of innovation we look to add to our repertoire of guest services, the kind of technological advance that makes us more convenient to our guests.
The application software for Quick Response codes (or QR codes for short) is easily accessible. You can download QR-code software to your smart phone by directing your phone to this internet site (http://www.mobile-barcodes.com/qr-code-software/). The available applications will allow your phone to scan QR codes.
If your phone already has the QR code app, or you download one right now, you can scan The Rose Hotel barcode on this page and go directly to our mobile website.
QR codes are basically mobile barcodes. More specifically, they are two-dimensional barcodes readable by dedicated barcode readers. QR codes are currently more widely used in Japan (where the technology was invented) and South Korean than in the United States.
QR codes may appear in magazines, on signs, buses, or almost any object about which people might need information. Using a smart phone with the correct QR-code reader app allows you to scan a mobile barcode and connect to the relevant information.
We hope you will take advantage of our new QR code capability and find it a convenient time saver.
