Verified case study Hotel Tech Report has reached out to hoteliers at Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas to verify this case study.
Case study header image
Part of Minor Hotels, Anantara Hotels and Resorts epitomises luxury and unforgettable experiences, making them the ultimate choice for discerning travellers. Nestled in the heart of Dubai, Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort and Anantara World Islands offer distinctive coastal sanctuaries with a unique charm.
Why it matters: The Palm, boasting 400 metres of private shoreline, features exclusive overwater villas with stunning views of the Arabian Gulf, while World Islands beckons guests to a secluded paradise on a private island. Whether floating on water at The Palm or embracing the tranquillity of the World Islands, both Anantara properties redefine luxury, offering unparalleled escapes in Dubai.

  • Anna Liza Feir, Cluster Reservations Manager at Minor Hotels, sheds light on how corporate initiatives to introduce Oaky upselling software have evolved into innovative strategies for boosting ancillary revenue and crafting tailored offers.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Anantara The Palm and World Islands sought a solution to elevate incremental revenue and enhance guest engagement by delivering personalised experiences and offers.

  • Personalised Deal Segmentation: Anantara was looking for a way to offer personalised deals to specific hotel guests. With luxurious villas on-site, they were looking for a solution to offer this delight to certain guests before arrival. With Oaky, they can highlight these types of creative deals. Deep personalisation of deals leads to unforeseen revenue gains.

  • Guest Experience Enhancement: In response to longer stay durations, the hotels aimed to streamline the guest experience by minimising the need for manual exploration of experiences. The goal was to offer guests a multitude of options to enhance their stay seamlessly before arriving at the property.

  • Increasing Incremental Revenue: The resorts sought a solution to augment their revenue stream while prioritising a seamless and frictionless process for guests to enhance their overall stay.
