Holiday Inn Express & Suites Fort Walton Beach Enhances Housekeeping Operations with the ProHost® System
Hostar International, Inc., the global leader in hospitality operational solutions, is excited to announce its partnership with the brand-new Holiday Inn Express & Suites Fort Walton Beach on the implementation of the ProHost® Select Service Solution—a streamlined, preloaded cart-to-cart housekeeping system designed to keep room attendants focused on room readiness rather than gathering supplies.
This 115-room hotel blends aviation-inspired design with modern comfort, honoring the region’s military heritage. Guests are welcomed by dramatic delta-shaped light fixtures reminiscent of stealth fighters, custom wood finishes, and signature spaces like The Pilot’s Lounge, The Flight Deck Boardroom, and an extended lobby leading to the outdoor pool.
The ProHost® Select Service Solution supports hotel operations with an efficient inventory distribution system that enhances room turnover, optimizes staff productivity, and improves guest experience.
Whether traveling for business or leisure, guests will enjoy custom amenities, a convenient location, and now seamless housekeeping operations thanks to Hostar International.
ProHost® Select Service Solution
The ProHost® Select Service Solution is a purpose-built housekeeping system designed for select service hotels with in-house laundries. It combines smart equipment design with efficient processes to streamline the distribution of linen, terry, amenities, and supplies, eliminating the need to run items to and from guest floors throughout the day.
Each room attendant is equipped with a preloaded Laundry Link Supplier Cart and a C2 Collector Cart, enabling them to move room-to-room efficiently while maintaining a clean, professional hallway appearance. The Laundry Link Cart is prepared in the laundry based on Hostar’s programmed specifications and exchanged as needed during the shift, ensuring optimal inventory control and productivity.
