OpenSpace Drives 51% Increase in RevPP for Atrium Hotel Mainz

REVENUE MANAGEMENT

The Atrium Hotel Mainz comprises 150 rooms, a conference area with 22 conference rooms, and 1365 m² of event space. Meetings, groups, and events have been a focus of the hotel for many years.

Why it matters: The Atrium Hotel Mainz contracted with OpenSpace to help management react to fluctuating demand and manage revenue across the entire property.

With 22 conference rooms, and 1365 m² of event space, meetings, groups, and events formed an important part of revenue for the hotel, but leadership could see this could be optimized further.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Before OpenSpace, conference capacities were handled via traditional sales channels, there were only three price levels, and quotations were handled manually. The aim was to centralize this and make events part of the total revenue management of the hotel.

Increase revenue: The hotel was looking to fluctuate daily rates on event space in line with demand, to capture a higher willingness to pay on high-demand periods.
Optimize space usage: The Atrium Hotel Mainz wanted to be able to price each event individually, to optimize revenue per available square meter.
Automate booking process: The hotel wanted to speed up the quotation process and allow customers to find out about prices and capacity via the website so that they could book direct.
