French Riviera: +€128k revenue in one season
Client: Independent 3-star hotel
Location: French Riviera
Engagement: revenue management, distribution and performance management
Background
On the French Riviera, competition is fierce and the season accounts for most of the business. For this seasonal hotel, the challenge was twofold: get the season off to a stronger start so as not to lose the first few months, then capture value at the height of summer, when demand is at its peak. That was the task entrusted to Lewys.
What we did
- Starting the season earlier
- A dedicated strategy for the opening months to capture demand from March
- Adjusted lead-in rates to fill the shoulder seasons
- Gradual build-up in occupancy, month after month
Making the most of peak season
- Daily pricing management during demand peaks
- Higher ADR in July and August, with no loss of occupancy
- Fine-tuned trade-off between occupancy and rate to maximise RevPAR
Distribution
- Optimised visibility across all sales channels
- Distribution mix adjusted to the period and to demand
Performance and quality tracking
- Comprehensive monthly reporting: KPIs, market analysis, forecasts
- Online reputation monitoring and practical recommendations to strengthen guest satisfaction
The results
- March to August 2026 (vs last year)
- Total revenue: +14%, or +€128k
- RevPAR: +18%
- Occupancy: 74% (+11 points)
In August 2026
- Occupancy: 92%
- ADR: +9%
- RevPAR: €162 (+16%)
More guests, at better rates: growth built on both volume and price.
