Prices and occupancy rate
For a hotel there are two main markets to aim for:
Leisure market
Families and people passing by. Depending on the configuration of the group/party, they will have school holidays during the high season or other weeks.
They will probably take 2 rooms next to each other as an average party consist of about four persons. Most rooms allow a third bed, 4 is impossible. Some of the rooms have connecting doors and are ideal to families having their children in a separate bedroom. So a party of 5, with three children can have one room with two beds and a second room with three beds connected with a door.
So in fact, there are no special "family rooms". The average room is occupied by 1,7 persons.
In the past it has been proven that the weekend days, so Friday, Saturday and Sunday are the main days this target group will book. The prices for these weekend days on taking over ranged from € 80 (last-minute) to € 100 (rack rate) per room per night. There is, due to flex-pricing and the internet, lots of diversity in the prices. These prices just give an indication. In addition , there are the 'old' rooms and the renovated ones. A clear and fixed price system dons't exist anymore, nowhere in the branche. Depending on the occupancy rate, the expectations and the guests, the price is often individually decided upon at the moment of request or quotation asked for. The same goes for the business market.
The price of the room always includes breakfast. The breakfast is included in the room price and is considered to cost an average of € 10 per room per night. This cannot be left out of the room price, and is not considered to be part of the food and beverage spendings. Apart from this, the average leisure room brings in an additional average of € 20 per person per night on food and beverages. So, at 1,7 persons per room per night, an average of € 37 per night for dinners, bar-use etc. is achieved. This is totally separate from the room price. This depends largely on the type of guest, the market, the season and the number of people in the room.
Business market
Prices in this market in the past ranged from € 100 minimum to € 140 maximum per room per night. So this gives you an indication of the price. The rooms were mainly occupied by just one person. They specifically ask (most of the time) for renovated rooms, for the internet and they do not generally like to stay on the ground floor. Do not change the price by more then 20% per year: this will be way too much a change: there is a history on the hotel.
The room prices mentioned, which are the sales prices so the prices you will decide upon, have always included breakfast for all the guest(s) in the room.
So if the average price is € 100 including the breakfast, the room price in fact is more like € 90 on an average if the breakfast costst would be left out. This is not possible by the way. In the business market most rooms will be occupied by one person.
In the documentation available so far, there is no visible distinction between which customers are booked in which rooms (renovated or not).
