Two new hotels set to open in Okinawa in 2022
Two hotels struck their flags on the magical island of Okinawa. The new accommodations are set to open their doors to guests next year, which makes it something to look forward to when Japan reopens. Okinawa Prince Hotel Ocean View Ginowan Overlooking one of Okiwana’s largest yacht harbours, Ginowan Marina, Okinawa Prince Hotel Ocean View Ginowan is set to open in April 2022. With a splendid location, within walking distance from the beachfront Ginowan Seaside Park and Tropical Beach (a lively spot for marine sports), the new hotel is perfect for both leisure and business travellers looking to make the most of Okinawa’s warm tropical weather. All 340 guest rooms will boast a terrace with ocean views, meaning that golden hour is set to be extra special for those staying at the property. Additionally, the hotel will also boast two infinity pools on the second and fourteenth floors, ideal for those looking to relax while taking in uninterrupted sea and sky vistas. Other facilities and services will include an indoor bade pool, sauna, hot stone spa, fitness gym, spa and a large communal bath. With capital Naha 20 minutes by car and the exotic resort town Mihama American Village ten minutes away, Okinawa Prince Hotel Ocean View Ginowan will also be a great base for shopping and sightseeing. Ryukyu Hotel & Resort Nashiro Beach Located in the southern tip of Okinawa Island, 20 minutes from Naha airport, is the fisherman city of Itoman, set to welcome the opening of Ryukyu Hotel & Resort Nashiro Beach in 2022. The new luxury resort will be located on a 50,000 square metre plot facing a dreamy sandy beach and emerald-green seas. With two 11-storey towers and 443 guest rooms all with ocean views and Ryukyu-inspired interiors and artwork, the resort will offer a wide range of facilities and services such as nine restaurants and bars, six swimming pools, including a flowing water pool and a kids' pool, a chapel, a gym and a beauty treatment salon. The resort will be a great option especially for MICE travellers looking to combine business and incentives, with three banquet halls boasting the latest technology, foyer and garden - the ideal setting for events accommodating up to 2,000 people.
Standard International to open new hotels as CEO remains optimistic in hospitality
Amar Lalvani, CEO of Standard International (parent company of the Standard Hotels), has expressed optimism in the hospitality business amidst the ongoing challenges. The latest additions to the company’s growing portfolio, The Standard, Hua Hin, The Standard’s first resort in Thailand, will open on 1 December 2021, followed by The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon, the brand’s highly anticipated Asia flagship, which will open in 2022. The Standard is also excited to announce The Standard, Ibiza, also slated to open in 2022. These three new properties will kick off a series of 10 additional landmark projects in highly coveted markets around the world, including: Singapore, Melbourne, Lisbon, Dublin, Brussels and Las Vegas. “We are incredibly proud to announce the openings of The Standard, Hua Hin, which is set for December, our incredible Asia flagship, The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon, which will open next year, as well as our second property in Europe, The Standard, Ibiza” said Standard International CEO, Amar Lalvani. “This has been a time of unprecedented crisis for the hospitality industry, and the millions of people around the world who work in the sector. Amidst such challenges, we are incredibly grateful that we continue to be able to delight our guests, serve our communities and create new opportunities for our team members by building landmark hotels around the world.” The Standard, Hua Hin, The Standard’s first hotel in Thailand, will open on December 1, 2021. With 178 guest rooms and 21 pool villas with beachfront access, The Standard, Hua Hin will be a timeless destination for the Thai creative set and The Standard’s global network of loyal clientele. A beloved getaway dating back to 1911, Hua Hin emerged as a destination when the construction of the railroad that connects Bangkok with the South first arrived at the pristine little beach town. By the mid-1920s, it became the chosen holiday retreat for the nobility. With time, the sleepy fishing village has transformed into a popular seaside destination without losing its old-world charm. Hua Hin is a favourite weekend escape for residents of Bangkok who have been waiting for exactly what The Standard promises to offer: a stylish and vibrant beachfront resort. One that respects Hua Hin’s understated Thai elegance has appreciation of the history and local setting and combines it with a global sensibility and a bit of fun. The Standard, Bangkok Mahankhon will be the Asia flagship for the Standard brand. Opening in 2022, the hotel is already a landmark, housed in the King Power Mahanakhon Building, a 78-story mixed-use building that is one of the tallest in Thailand. Centrally located in the CBD between Sathorn and Silom, the hotel will reflect the dynamic energy of the Thai capital. With 155 rooms, penthouse, a terrace pool, fitness centre, meeting rooms and a dynamic variety of food, drink and nightlife venues, from The Parlor to the Tea Room and renowned Standard Grill, as well as Thailand’s first outpost of the acclaimed Mott 32 restaurant. The property is designed by Spanish artist-designer Jaime Hayon’s Hayon Studio, in collaboration with The Standard’s award-winning in-house design team. This breath-taking new addition to the Standard portfolio will sit proudly alongside the brand’s award-winning vibrant US and European urban flagships, The Standard, High Line and The Standard, London, and in perfect counterpoint to our waterside retreats The Standard, Maldives, The Standard, Miami, and the forthcoming The Standard, Hua Hin and The Standard, Ibiza.

How hotels can increase revenue right now
During this time that international borders are closed to prevent another outbreak of coronavirus infection, most countries and travel companies, like hotels, rely on local tourists. However, domestic travel has one disadvantage – locals tend to spend less as compared to when they are travelling overseas. When demand is slow, every bit of revenue counts. This is when upselling comes into play. In hospitality, upselling is a technique that aims to enhance the guest experience by offering suitable room upgrades and ancillary services according to the guest personal preferences and resulting in increased hotel revenue per reservation. Upselling, when done correctly, doesn't need to alienate your guests. Rather it can present a valuable win-win situation for both guests and hoteliers. Upselling should not be hardwork as there are multiple techniques and tools that are there for hoteliers to help them save time, lower the cost, all while creating a better guest experience at their hotels. Hotel software like Oaky allows hotel managers to drive sales of room upgrades and ancillary services all while boosting and personalising their guest experience! Vijesh Yoganathan, head of Oaky APAC, told TD: “By ensuring that we deliver the right product and service to the right guest at the right time, Oaky is able to simultaneously enhance the guest experience and drive incremental revenue from every guest.” Hotels can increase their revenue by thinking outside of the box and addressing guests’ concerns. To inspire you to upsell, here are some of the new travel trends in APAC that hotels can explore to double their revenue during this time of domestic travel. https://youtu.be/7CGOACy9ju8 Creative guest experiences Now more than ever, people are looking for ways to skip reality and be amazed. That said, research even shows that, if you create that ‘wow’ moment and a positive emotion, people will remember that trip for a lifetime. This crave for an experience is not new at all and has defined the travel industry already for years. The younger generations are leaning towards doing unique experiences on every trip. Oftentimes, they prefer something that they can brag about on social media. However, experiences inside the hotel do not have to be over the top, it could be simple perks such shuttle service to tourist spots, wellness activities such as yoga or meditation, or even a hygiene kit inside the room. Oaky has a Deal Library, which is a repository of templates to give hotel owners inspiration on what they can offer as an upsell. While the short term goal is to drive revenue with your offers, the ultimate goal is to create an experience your guest will remember forever. With a bit of creativity and variety, make your guests’ stay memorable and more pleasant. Embrace post-lockdown opportunities After months of being in lockdown, we now navigate our way in the ‘new normal’. Our hotel stays are expected to be different and new opportunities for hotels to offer something new arise. Take advantage of these new trends and upsell rooms with: Wellness activities Stringent housekeeping services Outdoor activities Revenge travelling has begun domestically and it is evident with the bookings starting to pick up in the resort and popular holiday destinations within APAC. Oaky drove USD13,000 for a luxury hotel customer in Sydney in November last year, and more than doubled this during the December peak season. Answer the need for a different kind of stay Until now, most people view hotels as their home away from home. However, attitude towards travel changed, especially post COVID. People stay in hotels for various reasons such as for a short ‘staycation’ to take a break from their daily routine. Others are booking hotels and serviced apartments for long term stay. Meanwhile, others are taking advantage of the current work from home set-up and book rooms for ‘workation’. Some countries are posing as workation heaven to attract professionals who are pent-up in working from their homes and want a change of pace and environment. Create new room categories If you use usual rooms categories such as standard, deluxe, junior suite etc., you may not be showing the full potential of your rooms. With a dab of creativity, showcase the assets paired with the unique amenities in your rooms to make them stand out. Below are some examples of rooms offering unique stays: The ‘Remote Work Room’ - a room with a spacious comfortable workspace, unlimited coffee and tea refills for the in-room machine, a daily healthy snack pack plus anything else to make working remotely easier and more convenient. The ‘Cinephile Room’ - a room/suite with a home theatre set-up. Here guests can enjoy the latest blockbusters on a large screen in the privacy and comfort of their hotel. Of course, popcorn, nachos or other movie snacks can be included too. The ‘Spa Room’ - a room decked out with some of your spa’s top products instead of the usual amenities, a healthy snack served at the guest’s convenience and an in-room treatment. And what is great? Thanks to Oaky's recent integration with OTA Insight now you can also apply a seasonal room pricing to adjust your room prices without any manual work! Still unconvinced that automated upselling can help you drive more revenue in these hard times? Look into your hotel's upsell potential with Oaky’s Incremental Revenue Calculator and give it a try to see for yourself with their risk-free plan! TRY OUT OAKY RISK-FREE!
