Hotel Positioning
5-star Luxury, Accor Hotels
Development Strategy
Being the 1st Fairmont branded hotel in South America, our development strategy was to rapidly become a flagship in the luxury segment within Accor. After a few months of very successful numbers in Rio, we had to close the hotel for 6 months due to Covid-19 pandemic. During this time our strategy was:
. Keep close contact via online platforms withing the sales and marketing team
. Have online meetings with clients
. Keep our infinity pool musical schedule – online
. Develop an online toolkit with our pictures, presentations, videos – available 100%
. Train our staff over and over
Fairmont Rio then reopened as a desired product, a strong brand and a reference to the tourism resume in Rio and Brazil.
