Lesli Reynolds, Vice President, Global Distribution Revenue Strategy for Omni Hotels Resorts
This initiative will provide our sales leaders with a sophisticated, configurable pricing tool that will help them to quote rates with confidence based upon what’s going on in their market with greater efficiency and speed.
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) May 15, 2012
The Rainmaker Group, a world leader in automated forecasting and profit optimization software and services for the hospitality industry, announces that Omni Hotels Resorts has agreed to pilot its new GroupREV™ group forecasting and pricing software at four locations over the next two months. The four locations, chosen based on their large volume of group business and diverse mix of customer segments, are Fort Worth, Texas; San Diego, California; Washington, DC; and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
A standalone solution tailored to meet the needs of both traditional and casino hotels, GroupREV provides a scientific modeling and elasticity-based approach to solving the many longstanding challenges associated with group forecasting and pricing.
“We started developing GroupREV quite a while ago in response to demand for a group forecasting and pricing solution for hotels that caters primarily to groups and conventions and because no existing product leveraged a science-based approach,” said Tammy Farley, principal of Rainmaker. “Since August 2011, our scientists and analytics teams – with the strong, collaborative support of our longtime, valued partner, Omni Hotels Resorts – have continued to fine-tune the methodology to identify the best data and metrics to use in determining group pricing.”
Although GroupREV will work with any revenue management system, for the Omni Hotels Resorts implementation, GroupREV will be tied to Rainmaker’s GuestREV revenue management system, which ties in with Omni’s central reservations system. GroupREV will receive nightly extracts from Omni’s sales and catering system, which is also used to manage all of Omni’s group bookings. All of this information is used by GroupREV to determine optimal pricing.
Omni Hotels Resorts, which includes 50 distinct luxury hotels and resorts in leading business gateways, meeting and leisure destinations across North America, is a natural for this new group forecasting and pricing tool. Approximately 50 percent of its revenues comes from group business; the other half from individual travelers.
“The Rainmaker team already offers us a great solution (GuestREV) for studying demand and making recommendations to help us optimize transient revenues whenever demand exists,” said Lesli Reynolds, Vice President, Global Distribution Revenue Strategy for Omni Hotels Resorts. “Given our success with GuestREV, we welcomed the opportunity to work with Rainmaker to apply that same level of scientific and analytical expertise to our group business.”
The Omni Revenue Management team studied various group pricing tools. Ultimately, the team selected Rainmaker’s GroupREV based on the metrics, methodology and resulting group pricing recommendations as well as the long-term partnership with the company, which enable them to customize the tool with additional metrics useful in establishing rational pricing for their groups.
“This initiative will provide our sales leaders with a sophisticated, configurable pricing tool that will help them to quote rates with confidence based upon what’s going on in their market with greater efficiency and speed,” said Reynolds. “Sales managers will be able to focus the majority of their time on understanding and delivering on customer needs.”
Reynolds, a 24-year hospitality industry veteran, considers GroupREV a win-win business proposition. Reynolds says it may take six to nine months, perhaps even 12 months in some cases, to be able to assess the full benefits of the GroupREV system’s power and promise – primarily due to the long lead times required in group business. But, she says, “We anticipate that it’s going to measure up to our expectations. Rainmaker has done a very nice job partnering with us, and we are confident that as we bring them feedback, they’ll incorporate that learning into the scientific process.”

IRVING, Texas, Jan. 25, 2012 — /PRNewswire/ — TRT Holdings today announced plans to relocate and consolidate its offices from Irving to Dallas. The new offices, which will incorporate the headquarters for Omni Hotels Resorts and Gold’s Gym International, also based in Irving, are expected to open in the summer of 2013.
“This move to Dallas is significant because it speaks volumes about the economic vitality of our city and its appeal as a premier location for business headquarters,” said Mayor Michael S. Rawlings. ”Workers want to be near the financial and social action, and at the new TRT Holdings, they will provide that action to their employees.”
“This project underscores how the City can leverage its resources by making an investment that is expected to have a $7.5 million fiscal impact for the City over ten years and includes TRT Holdings making substantial financial and human resource investments in our City,” added Mayor Rawlings.
The new headquarters building at 4001 Maple Avenue will be on the Old Parkland campus, which was developed and revitalized by Crow Holdings. The original 8.3 acre Old Parkland site was expanded to 9.5 acres through the acquisition of adjacent property and is bound by the Dallas North Tollway, Maple and Oak Lawn Avenues. The master planned business campus located a few miles north of downtown includes new buildings that complement the original and historic landmark structures.
The headquarters will be built by Brasfield Gorrie – who recently opened a Dallas office – and is also currently building the Omni Nashville Hotel. Brasfield Gorrie, as the design/builder, has hired HKS in Dallas to design the headquarters in keeping with the other buildings on the Old Parkland campus. With approximately 170,000 square feet, the six-story Jeffersonian-style building will feature numerous amenities designed to help attract and retain top employees to the companies, including a cafe, health club, conference center, underground parking and a spacious back patio. Approximately 275 total associates from TRT Holdings, Omni Hotels Resorts and Gold’s Gym International will move in the building.
“As our organizations continue to grow and prosper, we want to ensure that our office environment meets the needs of our teams today and far into the future,” said Jim Caldwell, president of TRT Holdings. “We are excited to bring everyone together, and we envision a setting which will enable our associates and our businesses to thrive.”
Earlier today, the Dallas City Council confirmed a ten-year tax abatement on 90 percent of the real property improvement value resulting from the new facility and a $200,000 economic development grant as an incentive for the project. While estimated forgone revenue from the tax abatement is approximately $2.3 million, the project is expected to have a $7.5 million fiscal impact for the City over 10 years. TRT Holdings anticipates making a $40 million investment in the project.

IRVING, Texas, Dec. 14, 2011 — /PRNewswire/ — Omni Hotels Resorts announced today that the luxury hotel brand will rebrand the Hilton Head Oceanfront Resort as part of a long term management agreement. Under the new agreement, the property will officially become the Omni Hilton Head Oceanfront Resort on February 1, 2012.
The resort has been successfully managed within Omni’s overall portfolio under its sibling company, Allegiance Hospitality, since 2003. During that time, the resort achieved the AAA four-diamond designation. In 2012, the property will now launch a significant, multi-phased renovations plan as part of the transition to further distinguish it from the competition.
In keeping with Omni’s strategic growth plans in the premier destination resort segment, this latest addition complements the brand’s acclaimed resorts along the East Coast, including the Omni Mount Washington Resort in Bretton Woods, NH, the Omni Bedford Springs Resort in Bedford, PA and Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate, FL. It also joins ranks with the Omni Amelia Island Plantation, which was acquired by Omni Hotels Resorts in September 2010 and broke ground last month on an $85 million re-development and expansion.
Located on Hilton Head Island on the banks of South Carolina, the beachfront resort showcases beautiful views from its 295 guest rooms, the largest on the island, as well as one-bedroom suites. The property has over 24,000 square feet of meeting and event space, including beachfront venues, numerous restaurants, the Ocean Tides Spa and pools with private cabanas. As part of the prestigious Palmetto Dunes community, the resort offers a 10-mile lagoon system for kayaking or canoeing, bike trails, 25 tennis courts and 36 holes of championship golf.
“We are pleased to put the Omni flag on this resort given its beautiful views, gracious accommodations, broad range of amenities and commitment to the Omni service standards,” said Mike Deitemeyer, president of Omni Hotels Resorts. “We believe that the property is a natural extension of our luxury resort collection and exemplifies our commitment to deliver memorable experiences to our guests.”
