Snö Hotels increases room nights by 40% with integrated technology

REVENUE MANAGEMENT

Snö Hotels, founded in 2017, currently manages 15 establishments with 970 rooms and 92 apartments distributed throughout the most beautiful valleys of the Pyrenees and Galicia. Among its properties are the Hotel and Apartments Snö Mont Romies in Salardú, the Snö Hotel Aragón Hills in Formigal, and the Hotel Pazo O Rial in Vilagarcía de Arousa. The chain specialises in mountain and snow tourism, with marked seasonality that requires maximum operational agility, maintaining an average rate of €110 and 57% occupancy during the season.

Why it matters: When Ana Sánchez joined Snö Hotels as Revenue Manager over five years ago, she encountered an exciting challenge; helping to build a hotel chain from scratch that specialised in snow and mountain destinations – using the right technology from day one.

“We had seen in other hotels the problems that arise from not having the right tools: manual availability updates, lack of communication between systems, overbookings… We knew we needed a solid technological infrastructure from the beginning,” Ana explains.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Snö Hotels aims to have a smooth Channel Manager and PMS integegration as its crucial for seasonal hotels.

Multi-property functionality: Connect all properties and eliminate over bookings.
Automate repetitive administrative tasks: Ability to focus more time on strategy.
Seamless PMS integration: Create unified workflow across all systems.
