IDeaS Revenue Solutions, the leading provider of pricing and revenue management software, services and consulting, announced a newly expanded revenue management partnership with Design Hotels.
 
Design Hotels, which represents over 200 contemporary lifestyle hotels in more than 40 countries around the world, has been working closely with IDeaS since 2008 to provide their members with privileged access to IDeaS revenue management solutions. Design Hotels has always sought to innovate and go beyond the traditional ‘sales and marketing’ approach offered by many hotel membership associations. Now, as part of an extensive push to strengthen their value proposition, Design Hotels is enhancing the range of technology support it offers to members.
 
This upgrade is predicated on Design Hotels offering its members a fully integrated package of all the vital hotel management software, at preferential prices, utilizing only the best revenue management, property management and channel management systems and solutions available. After a comprehensive review of the competition, Design Hotels confirmed IDeaS as their revenue management software of choice.
 
The IDeaS Revenue Management System (RMS) integrates closely with Design Hotels reservation platform, delivering significant benefit to the hotels in terms of pricing decisions, yielding the business and maximizing revenues.

Two properties have already recognized the substantial advantages of the new expanded partnership -LOUIS Hotel and Hotel CORTIINA, two unique luxury properties based in Munich, have chosen to install the IDeaS RMS. The properties have benefitted from the preferred price made possible by the expanded partnership, as well as the centralized organization through Design Hotels.
 
Commenting on the partnership, Toby March, Vice President of Sales, Revenue Management & Distribution at Design Hotels, said: “Design Hotels shares IDeaS’ conviction in the importance of revenue management, and of automated revenue management systems, in particular. How a hotel decides on what business it should accept on any given day is key to the hotel’s success, and that’s why we want to enhance our existing revenue management services for our members.”
 
March continued “Growing our partnership with IDeaS was a no brainer, in my opinion IDeaS is at the forefront of hotel revenue management software and will benefit our members greatly. The IDeaS RMS is simple and easy to use, takes the guesswork out of decision making and revenue optimization and will ultimately help our members make more money.”
 
“This milestone partnership represents an innovative new channel for IDeaS to provide its products and services to hoteliers worldwide” added Fabian Specht, Managing Director for IDeaS in EMEA.
 
“Design Hotels is one of the most progressive hotel organizations in the world and we are excited that they have chosen to partner with IDeaS for its reputation and experience base in the luxury lifestyle market. The synergy between these two leading brands will add value to a Design Hotels membership, helping the hotels to drive better revenue” Specht added.
