How Sofitel Mexico City Reforma Scaled Personalized Guest Communication and Achieved 816% ROI with Duve

REVENUE MANAGEMENT

Located in the heart of Mexico City, Sofitel Mexico City Reforma is a luxury property with 275 rooms, known for its refined service and luxury guest experience.

Why it matters: General Manager Sylvain Chauvet leads the charge on ensuring each guest feels personally cared for.

With a strong focus on upselling, communication efficiency, and digital innovation, the hotel implemented Duve to unify its systems and boost both revenue and satisfaction.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Before Duve, Sofitel Mexico faced fragmented guest management with multiple tools, limited personalization in communications, and missed revenue opportunities from the lack of scalable, automated upselling.

Missed Revenue Opportunities: The hotel needed a scalable, automated solution to increase uptake on room upgrades, in-room dining, and other services.
Limited Guest Personalization: Without the right tools to tailor messages based on loyalty status or guest type (first-time vs. returning), the hotel struggled to deliver truly personalized experiences.
Multiple Tools to Manage: Before Duve, Sofitel Mexico was using multiple separate platforms to manage guest messaging, upselling, and the guest app, leading to inefficiencies and an uncentralized guest experience.
