Verified case study Hotel Tech Report has reached out to hoteliers at Heure Bleue Palais to verify this case study.
Case study header image
Heure Bleue Palais is set in a beautifully converted Moroccan riad in the port city of Essaouira. This five-star hotel, part of the Relais & Châteaux collection, offers 33 unique rooms and suites, all looking into the traditional courtyard patio and garden. As a boutique hotel with a limited number of rooms to sell, optimizing rates for each room type and night is vital to the hotel’s success.
Why it matters: The hotel wanted to move away from pricing on BAR – Best Available Rate – and move to a more dynamic and automated way of optimizing rooms revenue, as it was losing business to competitive OTA rates.

  • Duetto enables hotels to price room types, customer segments, stay dates, and distribution channels independently to maximize revenue without closing booking opportunities.

Top 3 Core Objectives: The hotel wanted to maximize revenue efficiently and rapidly and work on regaining the opportunities lost to OTAs.

  • Adopting Dynamic Pricing: The hotel shifted from a restrictive rates strategy to a more flexible one, incorporating Duetto’s Open Pricing methodology.

  • Automate Revenue: Heure Bleue uses Duetto AutoPilot to ensure all room rates are optimized in line with market demand.

  • Expand Guest Demographic: The hotel wanted to attract a wider range of guests to the hotel with a view to increasing total revenue, expanding spend in spa services and the restaurant.
