Pivoting your business model is crucial, even in luxury!  Reportedly, the castle in Tura, Hungary will be operated as a luxury hotel by István Tiborcz (son-in-law of Hungarian PM Viktor Orban) for only a few more weeks. Apparently, some of the employees have been fired. The castle hotel was opened in 2020, but it has never been able to close a profitable year. The hotel, opened in the former Schossberger castle in Tura was the first of the Botaniq Collection brand, which brings together Tiborcz's luxury hotels and restaurants. The brand includes, among others, the Clarisse fine dining restaurant in the Tura castle, the Andrássy Kúria és Spa, the downtown Verno House, and the associated Flava restaurant. We wish him all the best for a prosperous future ahead! #pivot #businessmodel #luxury The link to the article is in the comment section.

Great Article about one of our customers, Fairmont Banff Springs, on how serious they are about the guest experience. Leveraging our technology UrVenue has helped them deliver. Here is a great out take that mentions us; To circle back to the notion of an elevated experience via amenities like an exclusive lounge and access to a world-class spa, what Resch also highlighted as critical for giving Fairmont Gold customers maximum value for their time is the nature by which they book people into these on-prem experiences so that no hotel guest is disappointed. Similar to spa appointments, another unforgettable experience would be to golf course that snakes around the river valley, and yet wouldn’t it be a shame if a guest were to miss out because the tee time they wanted was no longer available? To fulfill this need in as frictionless a manner as possible, the team is testing out a property experience management system (PXMS) that can act as a one-stop shop and itinerary planner for guests with connections into Opera, OpenTable (restaurants), Shiji Concept (golf) and Book4Time (spa and activities). This way the hotel can deliver even more convenience on top of the other amenities catering to this modern shift. Regardless of the technology, it always comes back to the experience, and for this alone the new renovation helps keep this historic property in line with the latest luxury trends and set for many years to come in showing guests the very best of Canada. https://lnkd.in/gqwvkW-z
