Paradise Coast Hotel and Suites Chooses Southwind Hotels and Resorts

Saint Petersburg, Florida -- July 20th, 2013

The Paradise Coast Hotel and Suites of Naples, Florida has launched a new revenue management program under the leadership of Southwind Hotels and Resorts, a hotel property management company based in Saint Petersburg, Florida.

The hotel, located at 1785 5th Avenue South, reopened under new ownership in May of 2013. Along with new management, property renovations and rebranding, the all-new Paradise Coast Hotel and Suites is also benefiting from a comprehensive approach to revenue management, thanks to the people at Southwind Hotels and Resorts.

Southwind specializes in quick turnarounds and long-term management solutions for both branded and unbranded independent and boutique hotels. Through dedicated "demand management" practices, the Southwind team is engaging with on-site staff at Paradise Coast and third party distribution channels to streamline efforts and maximize ROIs.

As a Florida hotel management company, Southwind works on the ground, directly with hotel department heads and distribution channels to streamline marketing, sales, and social media efforts.

Southwind goes far beyond managing demand, though, by offering full-service solutions for on-property management, hiring, food and beverage service, as well as services like hotel website design and hotel booking engines, for those properties seeking comprehensive hotel management.

In May, Southwind launched its demand management offering for the Westwinds Waterfront Resort in Treasure Island, Florida and the High Point Plaza Hotel and Conference Center (North Carolina). All three locations join a strong portfolio of boutique properties, including the new Coconut Cove All Suite Resort and the Quality Beach Resort, both of Clearwater, Florida.

Southwind President Gilles Arditi is a Certified Hotel Administrator with over twenty years of service in hospitality management. Arditi is also an authority on property repositioning, property take-over, budgeting, sales and marketing planning and implementation; business planning and implementation; managerial staff development, and new property management. Southwind is also very experienced at navigating negotiations and completing improvements on properties large and small.

Arditi and his team also provide specialized management services to troubled properties, including those in need of hotel receivership services. Related areas of expertise include property take-overs and acquisitions, budgeting, renovations and re-openings; taxes, regulations, and ordinances, as well as in hands-on hotel management and negotiations.

Before signing on for Southwind's services, hoteliers are encouraged to contact the team for a no-cost demand management evaluation. The analysis includes an examination of rate parity across channels, an assessment of allocation practices, and a review of the property's online presence - both on travel review sites like TripAdvisor and on social media channels like Facebook and Twitter. This customized report "gives hoteliers a better understanding of demand management and its impact on their bottom line" says Arditi."
