Whether a historic location or gateway destination, L.E. Hotels’ member properties provide genuine hospitality and represent independent and distinctive properties dedicated to comfortable pleasure around the world. Our collection of hotels delivers style and substance to leisure and business travelers alike.

There’s nothing ordinary about L.E. Hotels… Chic. Unique. Great locations.

WELCOME As a Hotelier, I have always sought a representation company that not only delivered outstanding results, but also provided a level of service that felt more like our own team than an extension of it.

Since I could not find this, I decided to build one.

Welcome to L.E. Hotels!

DISTRIBUTION REVENUE MANAGMENT. INCREASTING YOUR RETURN ON INVESTMENT.

Our goal is to be your partner in driving revenues. L.E. Hotels’ members receive a number of benefits to assist in optimizing revenue, including ongoing analysis of your distribution channels.

All properties enjoy reduced program fees and higher production through our exclusive participation in major consortia and travel programs. Members also receive qualified group leads through our negotiated agreements with major third party meeting groups including: Helms Briscoe, HPN, American Express, and others.

Our booking engine was designed for more than just processing bookings. It is visually rich and allows comparison shopping that increases the capture rate by four to one over PMS developed booking engine systems. Guests have the ability to shop room types and packages and select from a number of dynamic packages.

With L.E. Hotels new “Direct Access” platform, booking meetings in your hotels will be more efficient than ever. This new system, if implemented on your property’s website, will enable small groups to “book direct” via connectivity to your PMS system. This new functionality will allow your sales team to spend their time on proactive sales efforts while allowing the smaller groups instant booking capabilities.

“We have seen a dramatic increase in room nights by transitioning to the L.E. Hotels Guest Connect Booking Engine. We have streamlined channel management and significantly increased revenues.”

MARKETINGMEANINGFUL CONVERSATIONS ACROSS MULTICHANNEL MARKETING PLATFORMS.

Marketing functions in a universe where customers now define how we operate. Information is at their fingertips, and they expect consistent, personalized experiences delivered without frustration. In order to capture their attention, we must engage our customers with intelligent, meaningful conversations across multiple channels. Otherwise, they will find somewhere else to go.

While we greatly utilize marketing technologies that continue to evolve on digital platforms, we still embrace traditional forms of marketing to ensure we reach customers throughout the entire process of the sales funnel. Our ongoing strategy with our hotels focuses on enhancing visibility, increasing conversions and closely monitoring overall ROI on marketing spend.

We leverage best-in-class tools to track performance via real-time metrics and campaign results. You will benefit from L.E. Hotels’ negotiated power and collective spend in available marketing programs.
