MOMA1890: How the Boutique Hotel found its perfect RMS

REVENUE MANAGEMENT

In the heart of Munich’s Haidhausen district, where tradition meets urban style, stands the MOMA1890 Boutique Hotel. With 51 stylishly designed rooms and high service quality standards, the family-run hotel was looking for a modern solution for price optimization - a revenue management system (RMS) that can do more than filling spreadsheets.

Why it matters: A year prior, the hotel had already gained initial experience with a data- driven RMS in collaboration with an external revenue consultancy. The result? Disappointing. The system generated prices that didn’t align with the market or the hotel's positioning. After five months, the project was discontinued.

But giving up was never an option. The belief remained: there has to be a system that truly fits the hotel. To avoid making a blind decision, the MOMA1890 Boutique Hotel tested three different revenue management systems under real-world conditions over several weeks. Each system was connected to the existing PMS and received identical data from the quiet winter weeks to the bustling BAU trade fair in spring.

Top 3 Core Objectives: The MOMA1890 Boutique Hotel aimed to implement a Revenue Management System that automates pricing, aligns rates with both market and property needs, saves time for strategic tasks, and remains intuitive for the management team.

Tailored Strategies: Generate prices that fit both the market and the property.
Automation: Automate 85% of pricing.
Support the Team: Free up more time for strategic revenue management and be understandable and usable for the management team.

""With Hotellistat we have more control, better prices, less effort, and an RMS that feels like part of the team.""
