City Hotel Revenue Management
Run revenue for a 300-room downtown hotel. Price corporate accounts, leisure weekends and conference groups against two brand-name towers and the short-let flats, and fill rooms without giving them away.
Your hotel has 300 rooms two blocks from the convention centre. Weekdays belong to corporate travellers on negotiated rates, weekends to couples and families booking through travel sites, and a good group contract can fill a floor for a week or block it at the wrong price. The team decides room rates by segment, how many staff to roster on the front desk, in housekeeping and in sales, whether to court groups or leisure in each part of the year, and what to spend on the brand when two big flagged towers are across the street. It teaches the core of revenue management — occupancy against rate, the cost of an empty room against the cost of a cheap one — and how a team holds a pricing discipline when the quarter looks thin.
