Hotel Advisors Deploying Next-Gen Trends for Next-Level Profitability

As strategic hotel advisors, we work with boutique, independent and small groups to first discern what actions will generate the greatest returns, and then implement plans to achieve those results. Our expertise in wellness & longevity, hotel technology, sales & marketing, operations, new property development and finance allow us to see the big picture and think in terms of 'total profitability'. We know what levers to pull to maximize long-term asset growth.

Getting Started With Hotel Mogel

The first step towards any engagement is figuring out where we can be best deployed to maximize value. Following the 80/20 principle, an evaluation by us can look holistically to deduce the 20% activities that will produce 80% of the results (and any ‘low hanging fruit’) or we can focus our initial assessment on a specific area of operations at your request.

Evaluations in the recent past have focused on

Maximizing revenue per guest
Enhancing direct bookings and CRM
Wellness programs that best fit brand
Experimental design to win over guests
Gaps and opportunities in IT systems
Concepts that will work for a development
