How The Gate Collection Achieved a 5x Increase in App Engagement and 1030% ROI with Duve's Guest Experience Suite

GUEST EXPERIENCE

Gate Collection, a luxury and lifestyle hotel collection with over 1,000 rooms across four hotels (with three in Paris and one in Washington DC), has revolutionized its guest experience with Duve. Prior to partnering with Duve, The Gate Collection faced challenges in structuring their guest journey, which limited their potential to maximize revenue and enhance guest satisfaction.

Why it matters: The Gate Collection implemented Duve in three of their hotels including Hôtel du Collectionneur, Hôtel Le Patio Bastille, and Les Jardins du Marais.

With Duve, they have established a seamless, structured guest journey, significantly improving guest engagement and revenue generation before and during the guest-stay.

Top 3 Core Objectives: The hotel faced challenges in guiding guests through their journey, from booking to post-stay, due to fragmented technology integration and limited communication tools, leading to operational inefficiencies and missed revenue opportunities. The solution involved strategically connecting systems to enhance the guest experience, streamline operations, and unlock additional revenue potential.

Unstructured guest journey: Lack of a clear strategy to guide guests from booking to post-stay, affecting guest satisfaction and resulting in time-consuming management tasks. Despite having an advanced technology infrastructure, including Opera Cloud (connected via OHIP), Worldline PSP, and Room Checking, the integration of these systems to streamline the guest experience and operational efficiency remained a key challenge. The solution involved strategically connecting these technologies to ensure a seamless guest journey, enhancing both satisfaction and team productivity.
Limited guest engagement: The lack of tools for seamlessly communicating with guests before arrival and during stay limited their ability to streamline the journey.
Missed out revenue potential: Reliance on manual processes and outdated communication methods resulted in missed revenue opportunities.
