HOUSING MANAGEMENT

We Speak Fluent Hotel So You Don’t Have to

Our team has the experience and relationships with hotel partners across the globe to manage housing ranging from small to city-wide rooming blocks. Hotel management is a unique science and we have a host of experts that can support the lifecycle from sourcing to rooming list management to reconciliation and everything in between.

• Collectively, the vdP team has decades of experience in working with hotels and have cultivated strong relationships with our global partners. We will use our connections and strategic approach to your advantage, ensuring that your program receives the best possible rates and terms for your contracts, based on what is important to you and your guests.

• We can also work with outside the box housing solutions, such as AirBnBs or vacation rentals, short-term apartments, or partnering with housing management agencies to provide distinctive accommodations experiences.

• Sharing is caring - roommate management is something that our housing team has extensively supported for programs that require or offer hotel room sharing. We have robust tools that can set detailed criteria to assist in roommate pairings, have established templates in order to communicate effectively with roommate pairs, and have the sensitivity to oversee delicate human resource issues that can arise when room sharing is mandatory.

• One of the most crucial budgetary considerations that you need to make when planning your program is how best to mitigate liabilities around hotel block usage and contract terms. Your housing manager will review inventory throughout the planning cycle, provide customized reporting, and will work with the hotels to maximize inventory in order to minimize costs. In the last two years, our team has saved our clients millions of dollars in hotel attrition.

• Hotel billing can be one enormous headache if you don’t know what to look for. Fortunately for you, our housing experts know their way around hotel reconciliation. We will work with our hotel contacts to provide explicit billing instructions before the event, handle any billing escalations during the program, and take the time to review each bill line-by-line post event. This guarantees that your costs are handled efficiently and accurately with potential savings applied.
