REVENUE MANAGEMENT
How Sofitel Mexico City Reforma Scaled Personalized Guest Communication and Achieved 816% ROI with Duve
With a strong focus on upselling, communication efficiency, and digital innovation, the hotel implemented Duve to unify its systems and boost both revenue and satisfaction.
Missed Revenue Opportunities: The hotel needed a scalable, automated solution to increase uptake on room upgrades, in-room dining, and other services.
Limited Guest Personalization: Without the right tools to tailor messages based on loyalty status or guest type (first-time vs. returning), the hotel struggled to deliver truly personalized experiences.
Multiple Tools to Manage: Before Duve, Sofitel Mexico was using multiple separate platforms to manage guest messaging, upselling, and the guest app, leading to inefficiencies and an uncentralized guest experience.

""With Duve, we’ve been able to centralize and personalize the entire guest experience at scale. As a luxury brand, guest satisfaction is extremely important to us—and with Duve, our communications feel tailored to each guest. When they receive an email, it truly feels like it was written just for them. On top of that, the ROI from upselling speaks for itself."

General Manager Sylvain Chauvet said, about their decision: "Over the past 2–3 months, we’ve consistently seen returns between 700% and 800%."
816% ROI in One Month from Upselling: By adopting Duve, Sofitel Mexico City Reforma saw a dramatic increase in incremental revenue from room upgrades, curated packages (like champagne and chocolate baskets), and in-room dining. According to the hotel’s General Manager, Sylvain Chauvet, "The upselling is far better than the previous solution we were using—we recovered the cost of Duve very easily, just from room upgrades."
Efficient, Personalized Communication Across Channels: Using Duve’s Scheduled Messages and Communication Hub, the hotel automated over 20 segmented communication flows tailored to loyalty tiers, guest history (first-time vs. returning), and personal preferences. This smart segmentation enabled highly personalized and timely interactions—enhancing guest engagement and satisfaction.
Operational Efficiency & Real-Time Guest Recovery: With all guest-facing interactions centralized in Duve, Sofitel improved internal collaboration and operational efficiency. The hotel’s 24/7 guest communication team now manages all channels—email, SMS, WhatsApp, and more—through a single hub, ensuring fast and consistent responses. Mid-stay surveys, triggered via SMS before checkout, help identify and resolve guest issues in real-time, boosting service recovery and overall guest satisfaction.
