Effective marketing is crucial to building anticipation and securing bookings before your hotel opens. Our marketing experts develop and execute pre-opening marketing strategies to create buzz and drive early bookings.

The work doesn’t stop once your hotel opens its doors. Our consultants provide post-opening support to ensure that your hotel operates smoothly and continues to grow. We monitor performance, provide ongoing training, and offer strategic advice to help you adapt to market changes and optimize operations.

  • Performance Monitoring and Reporting: We track key performance indicators (KPIs) such as occupancy rates, ADR, RevPAR, and guest satisfaction scores to ensure your hotel meets its financial and operational goals.
  • Continuous Improvement Strategies: We provide ongoing support and recommendations to help you refine your operations, improve guest experiences, and increase profitability.

A Hotel Opening Consulting Success Story

We recently assisted Dublin Castle Suites, an upscale property ideally situated in the heart of the vibrant Temple Bar area in Dublin city, Ireland, to guarantee a triumphant launch. Our engagement commenced with a thorough market analysis, leading to the creation of a distinctive concept that merged spacious high-quality apartments with modern design in a prime location.

We have implemented a complete self-check-in guest experience with smart locks and remote management of the guest experience through apps, harnessing the latest in technology to provide convenience and efficiency for both guests and management. We have also been setting up advanced online distribution for efficient revenue management, providing guests with a streamlined booking process when booking directly. This shift towards premium digital interaction aligns with current trends and expectations within the hospitality industry.

Throughout the pre-opening phase, we coordinated with the operational team to implement the appropriate technology and processes, ensuring Dublin Castle Suites was perfectly poised to welcome guests as planned. We also crafted staff training programs and documentation aimed at delivering extraordinary service that aligns with the property's brand promise.

The outcome? Dublin Castle Suites celebrated a faultless opening, securing a 92% occupancy rate in its inaugural quarter, surpassing expectations. This achievement accentuates the value of specialized guidance in debuting a hotel that adheres to market needs and functions with utmost efficiency from the outset.
