Maximise Ancillary Revenue

Revenue isn’t just about rooms! Upsell breakfast-in-bed, late checkouts, early check-ins, pet-friendly packages, or minibar credits. If you have a spa, bar, or restaurant, bundle these into upsell options at the time of booking. Don’t forget airport transfers—many guests would happily pre-book a smooth arrival experience.
