How a 4-Star Luxury Castle Increased Bookings by 78% with Net Affinity and Google Hotel Ads

MARKETING

Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel is an 18th century 4 star luxury castle hotel located minutes from Killiney Beach and right near the pretty village of Dalkey. Overlooking Dublin Bay, it is a prime spot for beautiful views Dublin has to offer. The hotel’s cosy feel is heightened by the fact that it is family-run, giving it an incomparable touch of home.

Why it matters: We’ve come a long way since then. Looking at the results we’ve seen across the board in January to April 2019 vs the same time period in 2022 (a fairer representative than the Covid years) we have noted the following: 362% increase in revenue 78% increase in bookings 13% increase in arrivals

We have seen phenomenal success in relation to Google Hotel Ads across all of our clients over the last year. Year to date, Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel have also seen a significant return on the platform.
