How will the communication with each RegiÔtels team work?

The best form of communication is clear and transparent. With that in mind, we have an Account Manager in every single marketplace that will be able to help you with any of your questions and they will forward any of your requests to the responsible team so you don’t have to worry about being in touch with many different people.

What do I need to have to work with RegiÔtels?

For RegiÔtels to be optimal and really add value, it is imperative to have a recent website of less than four years old, a channel manager and a booking engine.

Why do I need revenue management?

Revenue management affords you opportunities to get extra incremental revenue on specific days. So the combination of different pricing for different rooms and also anticipating what is happening in the marketplace means you are able to make extra money on certain days that you would not have otherwise made. 

A benefit with RegiÔtels is that you have got marketing, revenue management, and online distribution. And those three combined are crucial to make you more money. 

Who are the team behind RegiÔtels?

RegiÔtels is made up of a team of professionals with international hotel chain experience in markets throughout Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Trained using the latest techinques and supported by an in-house digital design team experienced in optimised digital performance, RegiÔtels is able to provide the help that you need.

What's the duration of a contract with RegiÔtels?

All of our contracts are the same: they run on a one-year basis.

What results can you guarantee?

RegiÔtels can guarantee an increase in market share versus your defined competition and that time spent on the administration of managing the differing online channels in a professional manner is reduced considerably. RegiÔtels cannot guarantee financial results without having done prior research on your particular property and any entity promising otherwise is selling a dream. The fact is that no clients would stay with us a day longer than necessary if we did not produce exceptional results time and again.

Who will be on my team of experts?
The RegiÔtels team consists of multidisciplinary departments which work to understand, elevate, and communicate our hotel partners’ brands. We assign Account Managers to each of our partners at the beginning of the relationship, allowing continuous communication to flow as our experts work on the hotel’s marketing and revenue requirements.
What type of hotels do you work with?

We partner with hotels that range from 8 rooms and more. Our smallest hotel partner has 8 rooms, our largest 731 rooms. We have partnered with country hotels, beach hotels and city hotels in Europe, Africa, Southeast Asia, Central America and the Caribbean. We work with all hotels, especially yours.

Why does RegiÔtels insist on a channel manager and booking engine?

The Channel manager enables the opening and closing of availability of rooms types across multiple distribution channels – without it, Revenue Management will not be possible. The Booking engine ensures that the website visitor can purchase the room securely with an instant room confirmation.

Pricing

Why are the services bundled together?

There is no such thing as an individual service. Having a great price which does not look attractive is as unproductive as having a terrific website with no links to other channels. All of the three main pillars work hand in hand to produce the most optimal results.

How is billing organised?

Payment is made monthly in advance by bank transfer, direct debit, Paypal or credit card, and is always due on the 1st of the month. RegiÔtels has fixed monthly costs throughout the year.

Are there fees to pay when my hotel is closed?

RegiÔtels has fixed costs throughout the year and the work carried out when the hotel is closed is still in some cases daily and all cases weekly. The fees are due each month of the duration of the agreement.

Are there different payment plans?

The most straight forward option is a fixed fee and you will need to consult the pricing tool to see where your property fits within the parameters for a quote. Alternatively, if you would prefer another option, we can offer a variable fees based on online business with a minimum monthly fee and finally there is a consulting option on a pay-as-you go basis.

Will I make more money by using the services of RegiÔtels?

We can help reduce your costs and increase your revenues. It is always cheaper working with the team of experts onhand at RegiÔtels than recruiting a full-time employee.
