What You'll Learn
The Hotel Strategy Game teaches revenue management fundamentals including ADR (Average Daily Rate),
RevPAR (Revenue per Available Room), GOP (Gross Operating Profit), occupancy optimization,
competitive pricing strategies, cost control, and financial performance metrics.
Participants manage all aspects of hotel operations including rooms division, F&B, marketing,
staffing, and capital investment decisions.
Why Hotel Strategy Game is Different from Traditional Hotel Simulations
Unlike legacy hotel simulation software like Cesim Hospitality, Knowledge Matters Virtual Business Hotel,
or HotelSimulation.com, the Hotel Strategy Game is purpose-built for modern European hospitality education
and corporate training with unique features that set it apart.
Competitive Multi-Hotel Format
Teams don't manage a single hotel in isolation. Instead, 4-6 teams compete as general managers
of different hotels in the same shared market. Every pricing decision, marketing campaign, and
staffing choice directly impacts competitors. This creates authentic competitive dynamics where
teams must balance aggressive revenue strategies with sustainable market positioning. Traditional
single-hotel simulations can't replicate this real-world competitive pressure.
European Hospitality Education Focus
Built specifically for European hospitality programs including Dutch HBO and MBO institutions.
The simulation uses Euro currency, European market dynamics, and aligns with European hospitality
education frameworks. Scenarios reflect European hotel operations including city business hotels,
budget turnarounds, and European resort markets. This European focus means content, scenarios,
and pricing structures directly match what hospitality educators in the Netherlands, Germany,
Belgium, and UK are teaching.
Dutch Language Support
Interface and content available in both English and Dutch. Critical for MBO and HBO programs
in the Netherlands where students need to learn hospitality management concepts in their native
language before advancing to English-language industry terminology. Traditional American-built
hotel simulations only support English, creating barriers for Dutch hospitality students.
Detailed Performance Reporting & Analytics
Every decision round generates comprehensive management reports including GOP variance analysis,
revenue variance reports, competitive benchmarking, market share tracking, and customer satisfaction
trends. Students see exactly how their pricing affected occupancy, how staffing levels impacted
guest satisfaction scores, and how marketing spend influenced market demand. This granular
feedback loop is essential for learning cause-and-effect in hotel management. Legacy simulations
provide basic P&L statements but lack the depth of operational reporting that modern hotel
managers actually use.
AI-Powered Advisor & Assessment
Each team receives AI-generated briefings from a virtual General Manager who analyzes their
performance, critiques their strategy, and provides forward-looking advice. Students build
graded portfolios with reflection questions and AI-powered feedback. This automated assessment
capability saves instructor time while providing personalized learning feedback at scale.
Traditional hotel simulations require manual instructor grading and cannot provide real-time
strategic feedback during gameplay.
Modular Curriculum Integration
28+ optional modules allow schools to license only what they teach. A revenue management course
can license just the Revenue bundle. An operations program can add F&B, Conference, and Banqueting
modules without paying for unused features. This modular approach fits varying hospitality
curriculum structures across European institutions and allows schools to expand as programs grow.
Traditional simulations are monolithic — you pay for everything whether you use it or not.
Built for Hotel Chain Training
Enterprise licensing supports unlimited properties and cohorts, making it ideal for hotel chains
training multiple properties simultaneously. Management companies can run identical scenarios
across different hotel teams to standardize revenue management practices. White-label options
allow large hotel groups to brand the simulation as their own internal training tool. Custom
scenario development means chain-specific challenges (your brand standards, your market segments,
your competitive set) can be built into the simulation. No other hotel simulation offers this
level of corporate training customization.
Modern Cloud Platform
Web-based platform accessible from any device — no software installation, no IT department
involvement, no compatibility issues. Works on Windows, Mac, iPad, and Chromebook. Instructors
set up sessions in minutes, students join with a simple link. Automatic updates mean everyone
always has the latest version. Traditional desktop-based hotel simulations require IT support,
lab access, and annual reinstallation.

side-by-side with your current simulation platform. Many hospitality programs switching from
Cesim, Knowledge Matters, or HOTS report that the competitive format and detailed reporting
dramatically improve student engagement and learning outcomes.
