Revenue Management Tools Cited as Top Reason for Selecting
the Leading Reservation Management System

McLean, VA, May 10 - SynXis, a Sabre Holdings (NYSE:TSG) company, announced today that Larkspur Hospitality, an owner and operator of 19 hotels comprised of several brands in Northern California and the Pacific Northwest, has selected the SynXis Reservation Management System to manage their reservations. 

�We like the SynXis approach to customized services that allows us to maintain our flexibility.  We also have an experienced and savvy revenue management team and we needed a partner that could provide the tools necessary to support our revenue strategies,� commented Todd Maxwell, Director of Information Technology for Larkspur Hospitality.  �We have already been impressed with the flawless implementations of our central reservation office, GDS connectivity and website booking engine.�

In addition to using the newest release of the SynXis Reservation Management System for GDS and IDS connectivity, Larkspur is also powering their website (www.larkspurhospitality.com) with the SynXis �Advanced� booking engine which uses �Flash� technology.  Larkspur will also benefit from using the SynXis Dashboard, which integrates competitive rate shopping and extranet rate management tools to give hotel managers the most comprehensive and dynamic distribution and revenue management product on the market.

�Our latest product release has encouraged hotel groups such as Larkspur to take advantage of the most advanced technology available today to help them compete,� added Jennifer Ranno, Managing Sales Director at SynXis.  �Our products, combined with our superior customized account management create a winning combination for customers that might not be suited for a �one-size-fits-all� solution.�
