Offering exclusivity<\/h3>\n<p>Those seeking barefoot luxury, which allows complete relaxation, prefer an exclusive &#8220;VIP&#8221; treatment that makes them feel like royalty. This treatment starts before the guest arrival and last throughout the stay; the hotel reaching out to guests with targeted websites that adapt to their language, targeted social media content, pre-stay questionnaires to record preferences, in-room services and guest servicing systems during the stay, post-stay feedback forms and finally, post-stay engagement messages.<\/p>\n<p>Getting to know key details about the guests, catering to their needs, and maintaining an excellent post-stay <a href=\"https:\/\/idsnext.com\/blogs\/the-perfect-hospitality-guest-service-what-defines-the-ideal-guest-host-relationship\/\">guest relationship<\/a> can make the guests feel valued and taken care of. Businesses further enhance the experience with room customisation, mobile-controlled in-room technology, smart guest engagement applications or in-room tablets. Luxury translates to absolute convenience; where the guest does not have to move at all to request a new towel to the room or adjust the room temperature.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Photogenic moments<\/h3>\n<p>Most modern travel and experience cultures are defined by Instagrammable moments. Ensuring a destination or an experience is \u2018Instagrammable\u2019 may not always be easy, but this is where guest data can come in. Looking at consolidated guest data and reports on a hotel\u2019s ERP system to understand what guests love most about a property gives brands the foundation to work on selling the right experience. As social media becomes an important channel to communicate and connect with audiences, it is also encouraged to enhance guest-preferred experiences and highlight them on a brand\u2019s official social network pages.<\/p>\n<p>Hilton remains one of the best hospitality brands that have successfully implemented this strategy, highlighting the experiences exclusive to their brand on their social media. One such experience was rooms inspired by last year\u2019s blockbuster success Barbie (at Hilton Bogota Corferias). The Aladdin suite (Hilton New York Times Square), complemented by tickets to the Broadway production of the story, is another example from the same group, promising and delivering the ideal Instagrammable moments that are popular during specific times of the year.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Branded experiences<\/h3>\n<p>Consumption of branded goods and services has always been a marker of luxury, and this is particularly popular among aspiring luxury travellers who use branding to validate their sense of luxury. This leaves an opportunity for hotel brands to explore. For example, offering branded products or services priced for the segment of aspiring luxury travellers, such as affordable amenities at luxury destinations. These types of branded experiences also extend to experiencing branded lifestyles within luxury resorts.<\/p>\n<p>Branded experiences can come from outside the sphere of hospitality, where the industry partners with luxury lifestyle or fashion brands. For example, at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles, visitors can shop for a limited-edition Dioriviera capsule collection. Beyond partnerships, a new trend in the market is luxury brands\u2014lifestyle, fashion, automative etc.\u2014expanding their offerings into hospitality and exploring their opportunity within the markets. The Bentley Residences in Miami and the Bulgari Resort in Dubai are some of the renowned properties maintained by these brands.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Diversified offerings<\/h3>\n<p>Diversification in the luxury market entails understanding the audience&#8217;s multigenerational nature and their spending capacity, a fact that was considered during Shangri-La&#8217;s multigenerational strategy. The Group&#8217;s launch of the Shangri-La&#8217;s family experience brand <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hospitalitynet.org\/news\/4104505.html\">Fam.ily\u2122<\/a> will create experiences for multigenerational families, even providing guests the support for their parenting journeys. According to Kuok Hui Kwong, chair of Shangri-La, there is a rise of a new generation of luxury consumers who wants to share experiences and quality moments with their families.<\/p>\n<p>Other diversified offerings include out-of-the-box amenities that include more than just plush rooms. Instead, think of cooking classes with celebrity chefs, private wine tastings, or VIP access to cultural events\u2014an easier feat to accomplish if the hotel leverages its guest data system and loyalty programs right.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=&#8221;technology&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; custom_css_free_form=&#8221;.selector blockquote {||  background-color: #d9eff9;||  border-left-color: #0c668e;||  transition: transform 0.3s ease;||}||||.selector blockquote:hover {||  transform: translateX(10px);||}&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<blockquote>\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.6em; padding: 15px;\"><span><span class=\"ui-provider a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z ab ac ae af ag ah ai aj ak\" dir=\"ltr\">How to make the most of your guest data to optimise your offerings?  <\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/idsnext.com\/contact-us\/\"><strong>Discover now! <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=&#8221;opulence&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<h2>Creating opulence takes effort<\/h2>\n<p>The idea of luxury goes beyond simple offerings of having a personal butler.
