Hotel Le Port Royal: From Manual Pricing to Automated Revenue Success

REVENUE MANAGEMENT

Located in the heart of Old Québec, Hotel Le Port Royal combines historical charm with modern comfort. General Manager Agnès Marsoin had been managing pricing manually, updating room rates in Mews each day to keep up with market changes — a process that was time-consuming and prone to error. Seeking greater efficiency and smarter revenue management, the hotel turned to Atomize to automate and optimize its pricing strategy.

Why it matters: This story highlights how automation can empower boutique hotels to work smarter, not harder. By adopting Atomize, Le Port Royal dramatically reduced time spent on pricing from hours to minutes, gained confidence in their rate strategy, and improved overall operational efficiency. It’s a clear example of how technology can help small teams compete effectively in a dynamic market.
