“Partnering with Rainmaker was a great decision for us,” said Tamara Gunn, director of revenue management at Solis Two Porsche Drive, a 214-room luxury property that recently went live with guestrev. “The company really listened to our needs and responded with a solution that will help us understand demand and take a strategic approach to setting rates. This, in turn, will help us increase overall profitability and strengthen our competitive advantage.”
The Scottsdale Plaza Resort also recently implemented the guestrev solution. “We’re excited about the possibilities that guestrev brings to our property,” said Gilberto Aguirre, director of revenue management at the 400-room luxury hotel. “It will enable us to assess the value of each guest based on all available revenue streams, including food and beverage, wellness and retail. It also will take demand uncertainty into consideration, resulting in both top- and bottom-line growth and a rapid ROI.”
