“More Time. More Revenue. More Focus.” How Hotel Boost Gives Sigi Gübeli Peace Of Mind.

Hospitality is in her blood. As a native Austrian, Sigi Gübeli is a hostess with heart and soul. With abundant energy, courage, and a keen sense of trends, she runs the authentic, dynamic, and full-of-character boutique hotel Platzhirsch in Zurich.

RPG x HotelBoost

A lot has changed since she started using Hotel Boost’s revenue management outsourcing and marketing coaching alongside RoomPriceGenie. Now, she’s enjoying precious extra time, allowing her to dedicate more attention to her guests and her amazing team. Plus, she’s boosting revenue and occupancy while keeping guest satisfaction as a top priority.

“Being Number One” With Attitude and Heart

The name speaks volumes: Platzhirsch stands proudly in the heart of Zurich. It embodies urban style and has a unique character, mirroring Sigi herself. ”I aim to know my community, influence it, and establish my presence – all sustainably and responsibly. This mattered to me long before sustainability was fashionable,” she states with pride. It’s no wonder that Platzhirsch received the IBEX Fairstay label in 2024. 

Sigi approaches decision-making with impressive speed and clarity, firmly stating: “When I do something, I do it right. Otherwise, I don’t do it at all.” This principle shines through in her daily business activities, where she balances her hotel responsibilities with her commitment to fitness through strength training three times a week.

RoomPriceGenie And Hotel Boost: A Dynamic Partnership For Effective Pricing Strategies

RoomPriceGenie offers an exciting solution: it’s fast, efficient, and perfectly designed for dynamic pricing in daily hotel operations. While the technology is truly impressive, the key to success lies in the right strategy that supports it. This is precisely where Hotel Boost shines. After all, technology alone isn’t sufficient—the collaboration between people and machines truly makes a difference! 

“In the bustling city, I rarely had the time (and to be honest, the energy) to log into RoomPriceGenie daily and consistently respond. Hotel Boost not only manages my daily yield but also employs a strategic approach: in my situation, we analyze the strategy quarterly, discuss it collaboratively, and adjust as needed. Hotel Boost handles the execution, including configuring RoomPriceGenie. This transforms reactive pricing into a calculated strategy.” 

For businesses that are seasonal, Hotel Boost suggests adjusting strategies twice a year to maximize the benefits of various market phases. This approach leads to reduced operational strain, enhanced strategic focus, and seamless collaboration between technology and expert knowledge.

A New Look at Pricing

The pandemic has altered guest behavior, leading to shorter booking lead times, increased dynamics, and swiftly changing conditions. This prompted Sigi to reevaluate her pricing strategy. She quickly decided to partner with Hotel Boost, which resulted in a rapid impact. 

By leveraging Hotel Boost’s revenue management outsourcing alongside RoomPriceGenie’s software, she gains not only an intelligent system but also an experienced team that provides support and training, offering new insights into her data.

Technology Meets Strategy

“I let technology work for me, and the Hotel Boost team shows me how to get the most out of it.” Together, they thoughtfully analyze prices and make adjustments based on demand, competitor behavior, and market indicators. ”I can now see how I can manage my business in a much more targeted way – strategically, rather than just going with my gut feeling.” 

Marketing also benefits from collaboration: personal coaching sessions refine positioning and visibility, always aligned with revenue management.

Measurable Success, Clear Outcomes

“A lot has happened since we started using Hotel Boost, both in terms of measurable and tangible results.”

  • Time saved: around 2 hours each week – precious time that can be dedicated to guests. 
  • Occupancy has seen a double-digit percentage increase.
  • Value for money: improved guest experience without negatively impacting price perception – reviews confirm it. 
  • Guest satisfaction remains consistently high, despite (or perhaps because of) dynamic pricing.

Conclusion: More Focus On What Matters

Sigi summarizes it perfectly: “For the first time, I’m realizing how much more effectively I can manage my business, and how wonderful it feels to concentrate on what truly matters to me: my guests and my team.” 

With Hotel Boost and RoomPriceGenie by her side, she retains the top position in her neighborhood and once more demonstrates that those who dare to innovate will be rewarded.
