ALICE is a hospitality technology company based in New York City.[1][2] The company produces an eponymous operations platform that allows hotel guests to use an app on their smartphones to request services from hotel management.[3] Guests can use both the ALICE app and SMS on their smartphones to request services such as restaurant reservations, taxi accommodations, room service, maintenance work, and other items and services.[4][5]

ALICE's largest investor is Expedia which led a $9.5 million funding round in 2016 and a $26 million funding round in 2017.[6][7][8]
