The Background

HEI Hotels & Resorts is a hotel management company with close to 100 hotels that they either own, manage or both. They have a variety of brands and property types and O’Rourke has been a long-trusted partner, providing digital support to a subset of their larger portfolio.

The Challenge

HEI engaged us to work with 8 of their properties, each with a unique set of challenges, goals and opportunities. But they all shared a common ambition: a desire to generate more online revenue.

"Implementing a GX+Skipper designed website for our hotel has definitely had a huge impact on how our guests interact with the website. One of the most impactful changes has been the addition of real-time room rates and the ability to filter available rooms and rates seamlessly. Guests no longer have to guess or hunt for the information they need—it’s all right there at their fingertips, without having to go to a separate booking engine website. This feature has completely transformed the booking experience. Visitors can quickly see which rooms are available for their desired dates and within their budget, allowing them to make confident, informed decisions without any unnecessary steps. By removing the friction that often leads to booking abandonment, we’ve seen a significant boost in our conversion rates " Emma - Director of Marketing

The Solution

While each of the HEI properties wanted to boost its online revenue, it was clear from the outset these problems could not be solved with a “one size fits all” approach. 

O’Rourke studied each property’s clientele base. We analyzed their business goals and identified which segments were strong and which were struggling. We looked at their mix of leisure, business, weddings and how they measured up to the competition in their market. 

The prescription for each property was then tailored to meet specific needs. We delivered custom website redesigns, SEO optimization and paid media campaigns for each property, the combination of which returned significant increases in visibility and online traffic.
