Best Western Premier Petion-VilleEvery morning, Ronald Maidens, the General Manager of the Best Western Premier Petion-Ville, one of the luxury hotels in Port-au-Prince area, personally touches base with each employee of his hotel to make sure they are motivated, happy, and that they have the necessary tools to do their jobs. According to him, as a Hotel Manager, you have to take good care of your guests, as well as your employees who service your guests.
Maidens says that since the hotel’s opening in 2012, the Best Western Premier Petion-Ville has always had a good occupancy rate, offered top-level service, and has built a loyal customer base. Now with a growing number of high-end hotel rooms in the Port-au-Prince area, he is concerned that the increased supply of these room types will become higher than the demand.
"I am concerned because they don't have enough flow coming to Haiti to fill those rooms. That's a concern that I have and that a lot of hoteliers probably have too," said Maidens.
Along with the Best Western Premier in 2012-2013 the Royal Oasis Hotel also opened its doors, followed by the expansion of the Karibe hotel that added 100 rooms, and the Kinam Hotel with 180 rooms. The opening of a Marriott hotel is coming up in February with 175 rooms, and Hilton recently broke grounds to build a 150-room hotel.
