The hospitality industry is thriving, but in this competitive landscape, business success heavily hinges on one key metric—ratings. Ratings are the cornerstone that influences a hotel's Average Daily Revenue (ADR) and occupancy levels. A higher rating can significantly elevate a hotel's standing, driving more bookings and, consequently, higher revenues.
The Power of Ratings
Ratings serve as the primary benchmark for potential guests when choosing a hotel. These scores not only reflect the quality of services provided but also shape a hotel’s online reputation. Hotels with higher ratings tend to enjoy greater occupancy rates and can charge premium rates. Improving these ratings is primarily based on guest satisfaction, which is directly linked to delivering exceptional service, maintaining high standards, and encouraging guests to share their positive experiences through reviews. Each positive review becomes a valuable asset that enhances the hotel’s digital footprint and appeals to new customers.
Strategies to Improve Occupancy
While ratings set the foundation, improving occupancy requires a more structured approach. Here are four crucial strategies that hotels can employ to maximize occupancy and optimize ADR:
In today’s data-driven world, the success of a hotel is strongly influenced by its ratings, which directly affect both occupancy and Average Daily Revenue (ADR). To thrive, hotels must focus on enhancing guest satisfaction, understanding market demands, optimizing room rates, and leveraging local events to create a continuous flow of bookings. By adopting these strategies, hotels can ensure a sustainable and profitable business model that withstands market fluctuations and remains competitive in the hospitality landscape.
This article is based on insights provided by the CEO of Hospitalitynews, Mr Jagannathan, who emphasizes the importance of focusing on these strategic areas to boost both occupancy and revenue. Following these recommendations will help hoteliers navigate the complexities of the market and capitalize on growth opportunities.

Antica Ceramica, known for its innovative approach to architectural surfaces, has launched a new collection of wall and floor tiles created specifically for cafés, restaurants, boutique hotels, lounges, and modern hospitality spaces. The collection focuses on meeting the evolving design expectations of the industry by combining global aesthetics with advanced material technology.
The tiles are crafted in the versatile 600 x 1200 mm size with a 10 mm thickness, offering convenience in installation and suitability for a wide range of layouts. Their durability makes them ideal for commercial spaces that require both visual appeal and long-lasting performance. They are designed to resist stains, handle heavy foot traffic, and maintain their finish over time.
The new collection includes a variety of design styles such as warm wood-inspired textures, luxurious stone looks, and intricate global motifs. These surfaces help designers create themed environments, from calm Mediterranean-style cafés to bold patterned restaurant floors and sophisticated bar backdrops. Each tile can be used individually or paired creatively to enhance zoning, ambience, and storytelling within a space.
The brand highlights how thoughtfully selected tiles can transform hospitality environments. Whether it is a café patio with geometric floors, a bistro with contrasting patterns, a cozy dining corner with textured 3D walls, or a bar setting enhanced by elongated block-style tiles, the collection offers design flexibility for every concept.
Speaking about the launch, Mr. Rahul Bhugra, Director of Antica Ceramica, said, "Design in the hospitality industry today is all about creating memorable spaces that resonate with people. Our new wall and floor tile collection is crafted for exactly that, helping designers and brands express identity, emotion, and experience through surfaces. Every tile in this collection is designed to elevate a space into something meaningful and unforgettable."
With this launch, Antica Ceramica strengthens its presence as a leader in contemporary architectural materials, offering solutions that support design-forward hospitality environments across India and beyond.
The collection is available at Antica Ceramica, 40 Raja Garden, Opp. Metro Pillar No. 371, New Delhi – 110015. More details can be found on their website.

SaffronStays has opened Junglebrooke, a unique pet-first escape in Kolad, Maharashtra, set within the lush AMTM Kolad campus. Owned by Ganesh Nayak, the founder of Animals Matter To Me, the retreat is built as a space where strays are cared for with love and pets come first, while humans are welcomed as companions in their world. The property follows a simple philosophy — “Pets Over People”, creating a setting where animals live freely and travellers can unwind with them.
The retreat features eight thoughtfully designed cottages, eco-friendly interiors and recycled furniture sourced from Film City sets. Spread across an acre of green landscapes, Junglebrooke allows guests to stay close to a caring rescue ecosystem. Through guided tours, animal interactions, yoga sessions and reading corners set amid nature, visitors can slow down, reflect, and be part of meaningful moments that support animal welfare.
Every stay includes space for two guests along with one pet at no extra charge. Complimentary pet meals, pool access, yoga, karaoke and other experiences make it a relaxed escape for both pets and people. The retreat is home to a wide range of animals, from dogs and cats to cows, pigs, ducks, rabbits and geese, each now living a safe and peaceful life. A 10,000 square feet cage-free cattery offers a comforting environment for rescued cats, while the gaushala shelters gentle cows away from harm.
Junglebrooke paints an inviting picture for conscious travellers: mornings spent feeding a rescued calf, afternoons splashing in the infinity pool with your dog, and quiet evenings watching the sunset while your pet rests beside you. Surrounded by nature, guests can enjoy a holiday that not only rejuvenates but also contributes to a kinder world.
AMTM has long supported more than 400 rescued animals across Kolad and Mumbai, with help from philanthropists and industrialists like Nawshir Mirza, Cyrus Mistry and the Tata Group. Their support has strengthened the organisation’s rescue mission and helped expand its facilities.
“Junglebrooke is our way of giving a voice to the voiceless, those with paws, claws, wings, and whiskers. It’s built as a space where pets can truly be themselves, and humans are happy companions in their world. A place where dogs can run free, cats can nap under trees, and their people can unwind right alongside them. Every stay becomes a small step toward a kinder world for animals and for us,” said Devendra Parulekar, founder of SaffronStays.
