HP Hospitality's Success with Cloudbeds: Streamlining Operations and Driving Direct Bookings

OPERATIONS

HP Hospitality, a hotel management group in the Florida Keys managing 7 properties with over 180 rooms, uses Cloudbeds to streamline operations, increase direct bookings, and improve guest experience across its multiple properties. By using Cloudbeds' multi-property functionality, streamlined onboarding, and digital marketing suite, HP Hospitality has reduced its reliance on OTAs, increased direct bookings, and enhanced operational efficiency.

Why it matters: By utilizing Cloudbeds' platform, HP Hospitality has significantly reduced its reliance on online travel agencies (OTAs), resulting in higher profit margins and increased direct booking revenue, with Kona Kai Resort achieving 84% direct bookings. The platform also simplifies staff onboarding, integrates with other industry-specific platforms to create a comprehensive tech stack, and allows new properties to be quickly integrated into the system. This has led to positive financial results. Occupancy rates at their Kona Kai Resort, for example, have risen from 78% in 2022 to 87% in 2024.

HP Hospitality managers can access a multi-property view, which simplifies booking across HP Hospitality's eleven properties. This feature enables staff to easily reserve accommodations for guests at another location when one property is fully booked, managing occupancy and ensuring that potential revenue is not lost.

Top 3 Core Objectives: HP Hospitality's three main objectives are to streamline operations, increase direct bookings, and improve the guest experience.

Streamline operations: HP Hospitality aims to achieve efficient property management across its multiple locations. They utilize Cloudbeds' multi-property functionality to streamline operations and simplify navigation for their team. This includes being able to seamlessly redirect and make reservations for guests at other properties within their portfolio when a location reaches capacity, improving overall capture rates and increasing operational efficiency.
Increase direct bookings: HP Hospitality seeks to reduce reliance on online travel agencies (OTAs) in order to boost direct bookings. They are actively working to optimize their direct booking strategy and have integrated several properties with the Cloudbeds Digital Marketing Suite to this end.
Improve the guest experience: HP Hospitality is focused on enhancing the guest experience. They use Cloudbeds to facilitate inter-property bookings. Additionally, HP Hospitality uses Akia, a messaging platform integrated with Cloudbeds, to improve guest communications and enable contactless check-ins. This contributes to a better overall experience and potentially increases repeat bookings.
