Needing to plan upgrades to your Interior spaces? Sounds boring and expensive right?
Not true! Your accommodation interiors are a key driver to sales conversions and enhancing guest experience. Good design does not have to be expensive. In fact – it should provide you good ROI and save you a lot of time & energy!
BUT many of our accommodation clients come to us in a state of overwhelm - wondering where on earth to start when their accommodation interiors have been left to deteriorate for too long.
If you find;
your property doesn’t compare to the other competition in the market place
you struggle to sell certain unit types
You have spent a lot of money on band-aid fixes that aren’t lasting the distance or making the impact that you hoped they would
Then its time to consider letting us help you with your upgrade plans! Do it once and do it right – the team at Urban Lounge Interiors has the knowledge and experience to make it easy for you.
We can help you with a “Master Plan”
To compete in the market place, you need to actively re-invest in your property –not just maintain it.
Avoid overwhelm with a plan;
Break your property down into manageable areas.
Audit those areas -create the ‘Master To-Do List’
Put them into a 12m / 2yr/3yr/5yr/10yr plans

Promote it through your E-newsletters or booking confirmations. Use as many automated functions as possible on your Reservation System to promote updates to your guests.
