BUSINESS UNIT

Within our STAY Unit, the Hotel Success Management team is responsible for the operational delivery of HRS's hotel partnerships. Hotel Experience Management handles both inbound and outbound activities to enable the HRS 5S Framework and drive hotel performance. While the team covers inbound support requests from all hotel partners, most outbound activity is focused on strategically relevant hotels — acting as consultants who understand the required performance indicators, enable the 5S Framework for our customers, and manage hygiene factors such as hotel status, content, and general support.
