Hotels find new income source in parking lots

Saturday, 27 Jun, 2006 0

Hotel guests who thought they heard it all about new chargeable services may be surprised at the latest: income-producing parking garages.

“Smart hoteliers are turning their parking operations into sizable profit centers, resulting in incremental revenue and even more heads in beds,” wrote Hotel & Hotel Management.

At the end of the day, hotel operators need to look at the parking stall in the same way as a room,” said Brian Falvey of HVS/Ultimate Hotel Parking Solutions.

Some hotels are charging anywhere up to $15 a night for parking for special events.  Some airport-close hotels are even starting profitable “park and fly”
operations.

Does this mean that guests pay less for parking? Apparently not.
