I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Rosewood Hotels & Resorts (Rosewood), known for managing distinctive luxury hotels is considering a new brand strategy. Rosewood’s concept for each property has always been “Sense of Place”, emphasizing the individual character of each property. In an effort to increase multi-property guest across its 12 hotels worldwide, a new corporate branding strategy is being considered. The new strategy should also not undercut the distinctiveness of each individually branded hotel.

In the analysis, Rosewood’s ADR and RevPAR were superior to the corporate-branded groups namely Four Seasons Hotels and Ritz-Carlton (Marriott International). Rosewood also fared better than Orient-Express Hotels, another individual-branded hotel group. The results make the argument for corporate branding difficult to justify as the current individual-branded strategy places Rosewood ahead of their current competition. The Customer

    By 1997, Radisson's “growth at any cost” strategy left Radisson with a significant diversity in hotel quality and an “unfocused” brand image. Alignment with hotel owners (more than hotel guests) also seemed to cause Radisson's customer service and hotel management expertise to atrophy. In 1997 and 1998, Mr. Brian Stage, Radisson's President, and Ms. Maureen O'Hanlon, Radisson's Executive Vice President, took several initiatives to drive the organization towards becoming a more customer-focused brand. In their words, they “re-discovered that their primary customers should be the guests -- not the owners.”…

    Rosewood’s brand awareness was low, known mainly to those within the hospitality industry—as shown in Exhibit 7, the majority of guests who were asked about Rosewood had no idea what it was, and the employees themselves even admitted that their brand was something of a secret, known only to the travel agents who have been saddled with the responsibility of the only marketing the brand gets: word-of-mouth. The majority of the travel agents who book Rosewood hotels for their guests say that those who are in-the-know will go back.…

    While it is true that the proposed new corporate branding would increase brand awareness, sales revenue, the number of properties visited by each guest and cross-selling potential, the risks must also be examined. For example, the marketing costs would increase, the uniqueness and boutique feel may be lost, employees and customers may be resistant to change, the established cultures would need to be modified and Rosewood would be competing with other well established high-end hotel chains that use corporate branding. Given the above risks, it is imperative that if the new strategy proves to be financially beneficial and is implemented, that the same level of guest service and customer experience be preserved.…

    Rosewood Hotels and Resorts is considering a new brand strategy in an attempt to increase their multi property guest stays, revenues and cross selling rates.

Rosewood has built a customer value proposition on a core set of philosophies, as well as, strategic and marketing plans designed to create their unique competitive advantage through differentiation.

    Ideally, Rosewood should consider maintaining a softer branding of its corporate entity in its iconic locations and focus on unifying the other properties under a strong corporate brand. The corporate branding, however, has to be carried out in a manner where “Sense of Place” guiding mantra remains unchallenged. Operationally, Rosewood should ensure autonomy of operations in all aspects except centralizing human capital management and In-direct procurement. Rosewood could also explore options of introducing reward schemes similar to those used in the airline industry; partnering with similar luxury hotels in locations outside of their existing markets to tap into a larger market and ensuring growth.…

    Radisson Hotels were founded in 1938 by Curtis L. Carlson, Carlson Companies Inc. (Schroeder, 2008, p 454). Radisson Hotels are world wide and are committed to the customer, employee, and community. Radisson strives to provide warm and engaging hospitality at every point of customer contact. They are dedicated to responsible business initiatives that focus on ethics, culture, community and the environment (2009). In the beginning years Radisson held with the strategy to grow at any cost. In 1997 and 1998 Brian Stage, Radisson’s president, and Maureen O’Hanlon, Radisson’s executive vice president, took several initiatives to direct and drive Radisson towards becoming a more customer-focused brand. They made these initiatives based on the realization that Radisson was left with a tremendous diversity of hotel quality and an unfocused brand image due to their strategy. They decided to focus the goals of the organization away from growth at any cost and towards the most trusted and respected brand worldwide (Schroeder, 2008, p 454). In an effort to do so, Radisson developed five strategies. These strategies are focus on the customer, provide individualized marketing and services, develop hotels in key locations, leverage the Carlson Companies Advantage, and strengthen global brand presence. With these goals in mind they developed “The 100% Guest Satisfaction Guarantee Program” (Schroeder, 2008, p 455).…
