The Challenge
What LuxeRoom Hotels Was Up Against
LuxeRoom Hotels owned three stunning properties in North Goa: a cliffside villa in Anjuna, a Portuguese-style mansion in Panjim, and a beachfront eco-resort in Morjim. Each property had unique architecture and personalised service, yet the brand faced critical pain points:
- Zero media coverage: No mentions in any national or international travel publication since opening in 2019.
- Complete OTA dependency: 72% of bookings came from Booking.com and Airbnb, with 18% commission eating margins.
- No brand awareness: Google search volume for "LuxeRoom Hotels Goa" was less than 50 monthly searches.
- Low website traffic: Average 1,200 visitors/month, mostly direct or branded search from existing guests.
- No journalist relationships: The marketing team had no media contacts or PR experience.
The owner, Priya Mehta, wanted to build a premium brand identity and reduce reliance on OTAs. She needed media coverage that would position LuxeRoom as Goa’s top boutique hotel choice for discerning travellers.
