Sabre Hospitality announced the launch of SynXis Insights, an advanced data and analytics tool designed to empower hoteliers with actionable insights to drive decision-making and optimize performance. 

SynXis Insights simplifies decision-making by providing a holistic view of SynXis reservation data with ready-made visualizations and daily data updates. This modern approach gives property and chain-level administrators access to performance metrics, significantly reduces manual effort, and eliminates the need for individual hotels to rely on central chains to share this information. By putting data directly in the hands of hoteliers, SynXis Insights enables faster, more informed decision-making and the implementation of data-driven, revenue-generating strategies.

“The launch of SynXis Insights marks a significant milestone in our commitment to providing our customers with better reporting and data,” said Scott Wilson, President of Sabre Hospitality. “We are enabling our customers to make informed decisions that drive revenue and improve overall business performance.”

SynXis Insights offers more than 15 filtering options, allowing users to compare data across previous years and focus on specific metrics such as bookings, room nights, revenue, or average daily rate (ADR). This flexibility ensures that hoteliers can tailor their analyses to meet their unique needs and objectives.

“SynXis Insights provides HotelREZ with easy-to-interpret data, helping us drive informed decision-making, enhancing our operational efficiency and customer understanding,” said Jennifer Morgan, Director of Account Management, HotelREZ. “It is a welcome addition to our offering as we need information presented in a clear, concise way which we can easily digest and use for our strategic planning.”

SynXis Insights, developed as part of Sabre’s strategic innovation partnership with Google, utilizes Google Cloud’s powerful data and analytics tools to provide visualizations of historical and forward-looking customer production from the SynXis platform. The tool integrates reservation data from SynXis Booking Engine, SynXis Voice Agent, Global Distribution System (GDS), and Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) via Channel Connect, offering six detailed dashboards: Channel Performance, Lead Time Insights, Performance Overview, Rate/Room Performance, Time of Booking Insights, and Travel Agent Performance.

“We have invested significant time and resources into developing SynXis Insights in direct response to our customers’ needs,” said Hannah Garcia, Director of Product Management at Sabre Hospitality. “Through extensive user interviews and rapid concept development, we created a tool that provides great insights while also providing the security, stability, and scalability our customers expect. Our early adopter group, which includes renowned brands like HotelREZ, Hard Rock Hotels, and COHO Res, has provided invaluable feedback, ensuring that SynXis Insights is a robust and effective solution for the hospitality industry.”

As part of Sabre’s vision for 2025 and beyond, SynXis Insights will add reporting for customers who use Sabre’s GDS Media and Digital Marketing services, as well as enhanced reporting for SynXis Booking Engine. Further in the future, there are plans to integrate additional data sources and advanced analytic capabilities. This ongoing development underscores Sabre’s dedication to driving innovation and excellence in the hospitality industry. By providing comprehensive data analytics and reporting tools, Sabre enables its customers to discover trends in business performance, optimize their distribution strategies, and boost revenue.

The post Bob W to operate across all Nordic capitals after securing first Stockholm property  appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

Bob W, the tech-powered hospitality provider, has signed a lease for its first property in Sweden, marking a major step in its European expansion and completing its presence across all four Nordic capital cities.

The seven-storey property, a former hotel located in Stockholm’s vibrant city-centre district of Norrmalm, will undergo comprehensive refurbishment works to transform it into a Bob W building.

The operator has partnered with forward-thinking Swedish landlord, Altira, to convert the site located on the corner of Döbelnsgatan and Kammakargatan into a design-led, tech-powered space, with practical completion expected in summer 2025.

Bob W Stockholm City Centre is the company’s first venture into the Swedish market, strengthening Bob W’s foothold across Europe and adding to its presence in 17 cities across 10 countries.

The property is located in the heart of Stockholm, providing guests with unmatched convenience and easy access to the entire city. Surrounded by top cultural attractions, dining, and entertainment, the new Bob W is just steps from major museums, theatres, and a variety of restaurants. Ideally situated near a major business hub with numerous offices and tech companies, it’s also conveniently close to a Metro station, allowing guests effortless travel across the city.

In usual Bob W style, this property will undergo an extensive programme of refurbishment and redesign in collaboration with a local designer, in this case Stockholm-based Note Design Studio. Renowned for its many award-winning projects, Note will work closely with Bob W to deliver a sustainable, locally inspired design narrative to life.

With Note’s reputation for innovative, sustainable design, the collaboration highlights Bob W’s commitment to creating unique and immersive guest experiences that reflect local culture while aligning with the brand’s forward-thinking, eco-conscious approach. Note’s artistry will ensure that each space feels both authentic and inspiring, perfectly suited to Bob W’s guests in Stockholm.

Victor Hallengren, Head of Investments at Altira, said “Excited to partner up with Bob W, an innovator in tech powered hospitality for the next generation of travellers, to transform this property into a high-quality, cutting-edge hospitality flagship.”

Johannes Karlström, founding partner at Note Design Studio, said: “We are happy to partner with Bob W in establishing their first location in Sweden. This fast-growing challenger in the hospitality market is an exciting match for us. Our understanding of the design qualities demanded by the modern traveller, paired with Bob W’s sustainable, tech-powered offering, brings an innovative and energetic boost to Stockholm’s hospitality scene.”

Niko Karstikko, Co-founder of Bob W, said: “Stockholm is a market we have always wanted to enter and this expansion marks a key milestone for Bob W’s growth strategy. We are now present across all Nordic capitals, further solidifying our market leadership. We’re excited to introduce our flexible hospitality concept to one of Europe’s most dynamic cities.

“The new Bob W caters to today’s generation of guests that are looking for the consistency of a hotel with the comfort of a home, and a place to work, as well as rest. Perfect for stays ranging from days, weeks to months, our apartments blend local design influences with bespoke technology and offer a sustainable, flexible and convenient place to stay in one of the best locations Stockholm has to offer.

“We will open the doors in 2025 and continue to explore and identify more suitable assets across Sweden and beyond.” Bob W is one of Europe’s best-ranked international hospitality providers and currently has a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 77, and an average guest rating of 4.7 out of five stars.

Bob W Stockholm will be a combination of studios with kitchens and one-bedroom apartments all backed by apps that provide a seamless digital front desk and robust customer service. Guests can easily select super-early check-ins or late check-outs based on live availability and have access to the mainly chat-based perfect host ‘Bob W’ for recommendations and local tips.

The operator’s ‘marketplace’ also connects guests to local breakfast spots, gyms, facilities, and a host of digital products to ensure a truly local experience.

Bob W was advised by Nordic Hotel Consulting in establishing its Swedish entity and finalising the lease agreement.

The dinner experience is available Wednesday to Sunday from 19:00, priced at GBP 84 per person for a five-course menu. (Limited seating available)

For a touch of royal elegance, guests can also embark on an ‘Afternoon Tea in the Sky,’ a quintessential British experience that transports you to the heart of London with breathtaking views.
