Story of Arabian Courtyard Hotel & Spa

Bodypic 1 RateTiger

Arabian Courtyard Hotel & Spa, located in the heart of Dubai, United Arab Emirates, is a 4-star award-winning hotel known for its Arabian hospitality and luxurious amenities. It provides tourists easy access to Dubai's iconic attractions, including the Dubai Museum, Dubai Creek, and the vibrant shopping districts.

With its enviable location, guests are allowed to fully immerse themselves in Dubai's captivating cultural tapestry and embrace the city's authentic essence.

They wanted to extend their reach and tap into the new source market to increase booking growth. That's how RateTiger came into the picture.

Challenges Faced

Manage Multiple OTAs

Arabian Courtyard Hotel & Spa faced the challenge of updating rates and availability across multiple online travel agencies (OTAs) individually. This manual process was time-consuming and prone to inefficiencies and potential errors. They needed a centralized dashboard to manage rates dynamically with multiple global & regional OTAs, Metasearch, and GDS channels.

Limited Visibility

This 4-star hotel needed a cloud-based channel manager to improve its visibility across various online travel agencies (OTAs) and specialized channels. The hotel aimed to integrate all its online booking sources seamlessly with its Property Management System (PMS), seeking a comprehensive solution for efficient connectivity.

Properties

Story of Ewan Hospitality

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.

How did It Start Solving?

For the past year, Ewan Hotels & Resorts has been utilizing the RateTiger Channel Manager to effortlessly update rates and inventory across various online sales channels and seamlessly integrate reservations into their property management system (PMS). 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?

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.

Where did They Find the Solution?

The Osborne Hotel maximizes revenues by mapping RateTiger's seamless connectivity with over 400+ global & regional OTAs.

With RateTiger they managed online distribution efficiently and improved their sales strategy through real-time data and analytics

Luxury property

The Story of Al Safir Hotel

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”.

Al Safir is a modern luxury hotel known for providing unmatched guest service without compromising on warmth and quality. It is the gateway to a spectacular location that offers exotic experiences, cozy hospitality and a stay for royalty.

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).
