Art Deco Hotel Montana boosts RevPAR by 33.67% after onboarding Duetto

REVENUE MANAGEMENT

Art Deco Hotel Montana is a 4-star superior boutique hotel in Lucerne, featuring 63 rooms, which span across 16 distinct room categories.

Why it matters: With a diverse demand landscape, fluctuating between peak and low seasons, and a massive price range difference between room categories, choosing the right revenue management tool was essential to remain competitive.

Before Duetto, the team was relying on the best available rate (BAR) to price their rooms. This approach had clear limitations — it was inflexible and required many manual processes which simply couldn’t withstand the hotel's complexity or keep up with market demand.

Top 3 Core Objectives: The hotel’s goal was maximizing RevPAR without sacrificing their premium brand positioning, even amidst strong seasonal price competition.

Optimize for demand: Develop a dynamic pricing strategy to effectively manage rooms across diverse categories and price variations, while accounting for fluctuating demand.
Competitive pricing and profitability: Implement an RMS that allows the hotel to sustain higher rates during low seasons and strategically navigate intense local competition.
Increase operational efficiency: Automate daily revenue management tasks and data gathering to allow for quicker and more efficient decisions.
