Story of Ewan Hospitality

BodyImage 1

Ewan Hotels & Resorts is a renowned luxury property in the Northern Emirates of Ajman. Ewan Hotel & Resorts is known for providing a unique blend of traditional Arabian hospitality. They believe in "Live Life King Size" with minimum expenses and strive to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere to make guests feel at home and comfortable during their stay.

Due to a lack of a direct 2-way link between the hotel’s PMS and third-party sites, they were losing a huge amount of time, assets, and resources in managing OTAs individually.

Challenges Faced

Rate and Inventory Management

Maintaining accurate and up-to-date rates and inventory across multiple online sales channels can be challenging, especially for a luxury property like Ewan Hotels & Resorts. Managing changes, updates, and availability across various channels in real-time can be time-consuming and prone to errors if not properly managed.

Competitor Analysis

Monitoring and analyzing the rates and offerings of competitors is crucial for maintaining competitiveness in the market. Ewan Hotels & Resorts faced the challenge of manually collecting and analyzing competitor data, which could be time-consuming and less accurate.

The hotel harnessed the power of RateTiger's 2-way XML communication with OTAs and specialized channels, resulting in increased visibility and additional bookings.

Ewan Hospitality suggests that hotels looking for reliable and responsive customer support consider RateTiger for their hotel channel management needs.

How did the Story Begin?

Body Pic 1 - RateTiger

One of the magnificent palaces built by the knights of the Order of St. John is where the 3-star Osborne Hotel is located. The hotel is situated in Valletta, the nation's capital. The island's top museums, cultural treasures, and the city's distinctive 16th-century architecture are only a short distance away. The hotel is close to cafes, restaurants, entertainment venues, and retail stores.

The privileged location and comfortable facilities with Valletta's cultural heritage have always been the USP of the Osborne Hotel.

Now, they wanted to know the live rates of the competitors and make maximum revenue without worrying about overbooking. That’s how RateTiger came into the picture.

Challenges Faced

Room Rate Shopping

They wanted to optimize the room rates & prices as per the demand and monitor the competitor's live rates for maximum profit. Only a real-time Rate Shopping tool could help them get competitor’s rates and market insights.

Managing Availability and Rates Interface

The Osborne Hotel needed a cloud-based channel manager and on-demand shopping tool to connect global and local OTAs and niche channels to drive more bookings. Handling rates and availability across each OTA individually during peak hours was a big challenge.

The Story of Al Safir Hotel

Story

Located in the heart of Bahrain's vibrant Juffair entertainment district, Al Safir believes in providing every guest with a stay of royalty. The property features 193 stylishly designed deluxe rooms, suites and apartments. Al Safir manifests a legacy with the motive of “service before self”.

At the same time, they knew they needed a Hotel Channel Manager, Booking Engine and other hospitality solutions to handle the flow of online bookings. So they were looking for unified hotel management software and service provider. Hence, they decided to switch to RateTiger- hotel management solution provider.

What were the Constraints?

E Distribution

The hospitality industry is undergoing a significant change in how it works with the advent of digital technology and the internet. As online booking became the norm, Al Safir realized that they needed to increase their online presence, optimize their website for search engines, and target social media and other digital channels to reach potential guests.

Multi-way Connectivity Solution

Hoteliers struggled to manage reservations from various sources because there was no connection between their PMS (property management system) and the website. They were looking for a solution to simplify their struggles with managing reservations from multiple platforms.

The Story of Art City Inn Vilnius

Art City Inn Vilnius with 128 rooms has been a major tourist attraction in Lithuania. This 3-star hotel in the center of Vilnius was a perfect stay for tourists with air-conditioned rooms, workstation, fitness rooms, sauna, restaurant, and all other amenities that one looks for. But then the pandemic happened, and the hotel business got hit.

With travel resuming, European Travel Commission forecasted that Europe is expected to recover 70% of the pre-pandemic travel revenue by the end of 2022. With this news came the need to have a hotel channel management platform to spread out the inventory across multiple distribution touchpoints to reclaim one’s market share.

To cope with the rising demand and booking trends, Art City Inn was in need of a hotel channel management platform that would connect all their distribution channels to a central dashboard and facilitate simplified management.
