Edward is here to help you with nearly all of your Radisson Blu Edwardian Hotel needs.

Modern travelers have it easy. There are apps that allow you to wade through the travel world easier. And there are messenger services that solve so many hurdles spotted along the way.

Brands continue to find new and innovative ways to separate themselves from the competition while also attracting travelers with the promise of technology's warm embrace.

There is something to an added, albeit technological, layer of comfort that comes with services rendered via text.

As noted, you can request someone to give you a ring if you need to speak with an actual human. However, it's wonderfully convenient to simply text what you want and get it shortly thereafter. Imagine lying in bed wondering what you might eat that's nearby. Instead of using vital brainpower to speak with a concierge, you can just text for a quick hotel listicle of sorts.

This is just how things are headed in the industry, which is a beautiful thing.
