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”.

It is proud to be the first hotel in the Kingdom of Bahrain to be awarded Six Sigma Certification & three ISO / IMS certificates.
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.
Here’s What Really Happened
With RateTiger's integrated technology solution, Al Safir was poised to attract this influx of tourists and had all the tools to capture and manage this demand via the website and OTA channels.
Now they were able to validate room rate accuracy across all channels by analysing competitor room rates and price positioning across multiple hotel websites, metasearch, and online travel agencies (OTAs).
Results Achieved
Instant Rate and Availability Update
With the instant automated update of rates and availability across all channels, they got their way to speedy updates: the key to a winning sales strategy.
Connectivity
The ability to connect PMS to all distribution channels has allowed the team to make faster updates across all channels and better manage room rates and availability.
Room Price Decision
Stay in tune with market rates by keeping a tab on competitors' prices with Rate Shopper. This helped them take smart pricing decisions with room rate analysis.
Boost Direct Bookings
Reduce dependency and increase sales and revenue by increasing the number of direct bookings. It helped them maximize direct bookings with minimum risk and effort.
