New Coast Hotel Manila is a renowned luxury property strategically located near the scenic Manila Bay. The hotel offers a diverse range of services, including facilities for events, business travel, weekend escapes and holiday getaways, ensuring a memorable experience for all guests.
Notwithstanding its premier location and extensive amenities, the hotel previously faced significant challenges in managing its revenue due to the cost and limitations of its previous Revenue Management System (RMS).
With the assistance of SHR, New Coast Hotel Manila overcame these challenges and now employs a more efficient and cost-effective solution.
