Division generates quick upturn in RevPAR and profits for this California Hilton Garden Hotel brand DENVER � November 30, 2004 � If you want to be
a leader in revenue per available room within your competitive set, then
perhaps it�s time to enlist the services of Richfield Hospitality and its
dedicated Revenue Management and e-Commerce Division. In the first four
months after taking over management of the property, the San Leandro (Calif.)
Hilton Garden Inn achieved a 138.8 percent RevPAR index, placing it in
the No. 3 position among Hilton Garden Inn hotels in the Pacific Northwest
Region.
Secret to success One way that Richfield immediately began to build awareness, occupancy and average daily rate for the property among the San Leandro and Oakland business market, and build top-line revenue for its owner, was with customized cross-selling techniques and specialized marketing initiatives. �For more than 30 years, Richfield has worked side-by-side with franchisors and hand-in-hand with hotel owners to deliver heightened profits and increased asset value,� said Aik Hong Tan, Richfield president. �Our understanding of the various franchise systems has lead to our success in maximizing our clients� return on investment through the various brand programs and initiatives. �Likewise the expertise held by our dedicated
Revenue Management and e-Commerce Division helps to make an immediate impact
on revenues for our client hotels,� Tan said. �This group streamlines the
distribution management and rate optimization of existing channels, such
as the global-distribution systems, proprietary Web sites, and third-party
Internet providers for both our branded and independent hotels. They also
use Richfield�s existing on-line intelligences, integrate and coordinate
property-level yield, franchise and Internet strategies.�
The San Leandro Hilton Garden Inn caters to a diverse mix of week-day business travelers seeking upscale, business-class accommodations, and weekend leisure travelers seeking affordable, quality lodging within close driving distance to San Francisco�s dining and entertainment mecca. Amin said he partnered with Richfield because it has a proven track record of assisting owners and operators in repositioning their asset in its competitive market, as well as improving profitability flow through. �Our philosophy of renewed commitment to quality
and excellence in service mirrors that of Richfield, and it clearly has
made a difference,� Amin said. �We are confident that Richfield will
continue to strengthen our market share and surpass all performance expectations
