Parking - Overview
HVS Ultimate Hotel Parking Solutions (HVS/UHPS), established in 2003 with headquarters in Boston, MA, advises hotel management on how best to maximize parking profit and enhance the guest experience. If your guests travel to your property by car, then parking is a function that deserves your attention. Whether an urban, airport, resort or suburban property, parking is an essential part of your service offering. Like any other function within your hotel, it is an asset that needs to be managed properly.
HVS/Ultimate Hotel Parking Solutions understands that a properly managed parking
operation, with everything from revenue control to claims management, can
turn parking into a meaningful component of a hotel’s profitability and improve
guest service levels.
Many hotels view parking simply as an accommodation that facilitates the
consumption of beds and food by guests. As a result, most do not maximize the
potential of their parking assets, treating parking as a loss-leader and running
their parking operations in the red or at severely reduced profit levels.
- We quickly and efficiently streamline your operations, renegotiate favorable parking contracts, implement revenue control processes, and/or operate the parking asset itself as a lease concessionaire.
- On the macro level, we conduct market analyses including surveys of competitive parking rates, analyses of off-site vehicle storage options, and the development of creative ways to utilize hotel parking facilities to satisfy parking demands in the vicinity of the hotel.
- On the micro level, we gather historical financial results of operations, review and negotiate contracts with third parties, assess guest service levels, manage expenses, and implement budgets.
- We implement proper labor forecasting models that delicately balance the minimization of labor expense with the need to be properly staffed to ensure guest service is never compromised.
- Parking is often your guests’ first and last contact with your hotel. The parking experience can set the tone of their stay, or change their parting impression forever. So let us help you make it favorable!
