WELCOME
As a Hotelier, I have always sought a
representation company that not only
delivered outstanding results, but also
provided a level of service that felt more like
our own team than an extension of it.
Since I could not find this, I decided to build
one.
Welcome to L.E. Hotels!

REVENUE MANAGMENT. INCREASTING YOUR RETURN

All properties enjoy reduced program fees and higher
production through our exclusive participation in major
consortia and travel programs. Members also receive
qualified group leads through our negotiated agreements
with major third party meeting groups including: Helms
Briscoe, HPN, American Express, and others.
Our booking engine was designed for more than
just processing bookings. It is visually rich and allows
comparison shopping that increases the capture rate by
four to one over PMS developed booking engine systems.
Guests have the ability to shop room types and packages
and select from a number of dynamic packages.
With L.E. Hotels new “Direct Access” platform, booking
meetings in your hotels will be more efficient than ever. This
new system, if implemented on your property’s website, will
enable small groups to “book direct” via connectivity to
your PMS system. This new functionality will allow your sales
team to spend their time on proactive sales efforts while
allowing the smaller groups instant booking capabilities.
“We have seen a dramatic
increase in room nights by
transitioning to the L.E. Hotels

We have streamlined channel
management and significantly
increased revenues.”

MARKETING
MEANINGFUL CONVERSATIONS ACROSS MULTICHANNEL
MARKETING PLATFORMS.
Marketing functions in a universe where customers now
define how we operate. Information is at their fingertips,
and they expect consistent, personalized experiences
delivered without frustration. In order to capture their
attention, we must engage our customers with intelligent,
meaningful conversations across multiple channels.
Otherwise, they will find somewhere else to go.
While we greatly utilize marketing technologies that
continue to evolve on digital platforms, we still embrace
traditional forms of marketing to ensure we reach customers
throughout the entire process of the sales funnel. Our
ongoing strategy with our hotels focuses on enhancing
visibility, increasing conversions and closely monitoring
overall ROI on marketing spend.
We leverage best-in-class tools to track performance via
real-time metrics and campaign results. You will benefit
from L.E. Hotels’ negotiated power and collective spend in
available marketing programs.
