Project Context

The hotel transitioned from Holiday Inn Express to Fairfield by Marriott with structural changes, including reduced room inventory and addition of banquet and F&B spaces. However, market positioning and sales strategy remained unchanged, impacting rate realization.

Challenges

  • Inability to command higher ADR post brand transition
  • Resistance from existing low-rate corporate accounts
  • Underutilized banquet and F&B potential

Strategy Implemented

  • Repositioned the hotel through enhanced guest experience and service delivery
  • Targeted higher-yield corporate accounts and improved market intelligence
  • Phased out low-yield accounts unwilling to realign pricing
  • Repositioned breakfast as a signature offering
  • Actively sold banquets for weddings and social events
  • Improved OTA ratings to support rate growth

Outcome

Within six months, the hotel achieved significant improvement in ADR, RevPAR, and total revenue, successfully completing its brand transition with a stronger market position and diversified revenue streams.
