. October 10, 2017

NEW YORK, NY. October 10, 2017 - MCR, the seventh largest hotel owner-operator in the United States, today announced the acquisition of two Marriott hotels located in Lehi, Utah, a suburb of Salt Lake City. Both properties, the Courtyard Lehi and SpringHill Suites Lehi, are situated at the entrance to Thanksgiving Point, Lehi's central business and leisure hub, which is known for its technology businesses, museums, and numerous entertainment facilities. The properties were purchased for $27.5 million.

“We are very excited to make this investment in Salt Lake City's Silicon Slopes technology corridor,” said Tyler Morse, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Partner of MCR. “Given the array of demand generators supported by the city's strong business climate and its highly educated workforce, we believe both properties are well positioned to outperform and generate positive returns for our business. These hotels represent an attractive combination of in-place yield with upside potential in the years to come.”

Lehi, situated between Provo and Salt Lake City, has more than doubled in size since 2000, and is home to a large cluster of technology companies including Adobe, Microsoft, Oracle, Ancestry.com, and others. Lehi is also home to major government facilities, including the NSA's 1.5 million square foot Utah Data Center. Year-over year growth for the City in 2016 was 4.6 percent, and Adobe is currently in the midst of expanding its Lehi campus, which will add approximately 1,260 new jobs.

Sales & Marketing: Integrating Technology


The Sales & Marketing department is responsible for maximizing a hotel's revenue by developing programs to increase occupancy and to make profitable use of its meeting and leisure facilities. Increasingly, managers are utilizing sophisticated digital technology to help them achieve those goals. Virtual Reality is being integrated into booking engines which provide potential guests the opportunity to tour a property from afar, including wedding, event and food & beverage facilities. Voice Search has also become a popular marketing tool. Using smart home devices, it's now possible for customers to book hotels entirely through voice commands. Chatbots are becoming more ubiquitous as hotels seek to refine their online customer service. Chatbots can answer common questions, push key marketing messages, increase direct bookings, and even guide customers through the booking process. Finally, hotels are already preparing for the debut of the Metaverse and planning how sales and marketing departments will fully participate. The June Hotel Business Review will focus on the sales and marketing strategies that some hotels are adopting and how they are benefiting from them.
