Length of Stay Strategy Pushes Yotel Ahead

REVENUE MANAGEMENT

Yotel contracted with Duetto in 2019 to streamline its revenue processes and maximize profitability across its portfolio.

Why it matters: In 2023, the team adapted its strategy to focus on length of stay, in line with a new corporate branding strategy targeting the ‘non-stop’ traveler who wants to get the most from the destination, not from the hotel room.

Yotel offers convenient lifestyle hotels in prime locations worldwide, including airport hotels, tech-led city center hotels, and convenient accommodations for commuters, relocators, and space maximizes. As such, it needed a flexible revenue management system that could dynamically price according to shifting demands in its busy locations.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Pricing is central to revenue management at Yotel, with a focus on length of stay. The team needed a solution that could help drive longer stays, enabling properties to become more efficient and more profitable.

Increase length of stay: Longer stays are more profitable, and this is the focus for Yotel.
Drive direct bookings: Revenue is focused on driving customers to book directly through the Yotel website. Increasing conversions is a high revenue mandate.
Align pricing with brand: New corporate branding aligns Yotel with the non-stop traveler who wants to get the most from the destination, not from the hotel room. This ties to the length of stay strategy.
