Context:

People travel for a variety of reasons requiring different facilities and levels of luxury to suit

their needs and budgets. To target specific consumer markets, hotel organisations have

diversified their portfolios by opening a range of brands. These organisations have developed

specific structures and operations that align to each brand’s purpose to allow consumers to

clearly define the differences between each brand. The Rooms Division and Front Desk

departments play a key role in the success of each hotel’s operations, quality of service and

guest satisfaction. This assessment will allow students to develop an understanding of the

facilities, operations and services that differentiate a luxury brand from a budget brand.

Students will also investigate the different responsibilities of the Rooms Division for each

brand and the strategies used to communicate with other departments within a hotel to allow

the property to meet and exceed guest expectations.

FOO101 Assessment 4 Brief.Docx Page 2 of 5

Instructions:

Marriott International Inc. and Accor are two global hotel organisations that have successfully

developed multiple brands in an effort to address the needs and expectations of different

types of travellers. In this assessment, students are required to discuss the different strategies

used by hotel organisations to meet and exceed guest expectations.

Students are required to choose one (1) hotel organisation (either Marriott International Inc.

or Accor) and select one (1) luxury and one (1) budget brand from within the organisation.

Students will compile a report in which they analyse the differences between the two chosen

brands. The report should address the following:

• Provide a brief background on the chosen hotel organisation and each of the two (2)

chosen brands

• Explain the differences between the responsibilities of the Rooms Division

department in luxury and budget brands.

• Outline the Front Office operations executed at luxury hotels that differentiate these

properties from budget hotels. Be sure to consider preparation for guest arrivals,

welcoming guests, check-in process, level of service, departure and post departure

processes.

• Explain three (3) different channels and tools that hotel properties use to

communicate across departments and discuss how each tool contributes to efficient

operations and customer satisfaction.

• Identify the target markets for each of the chosen brands and the differing needs and

expectations of these customers

• Discuss current strategies each brand uses to provide quality customer service to their

target market and propose two (2) additional strategies that each of the brands could

implement to increase guest satisfaction.

This assessment must be submitted in compliance with the following:

1. The report must be uploaded to the learning portal. No email or hard copies will be

accepted.

2. A minimum four (4) academic (books & peer-reviewed journal articles) & two (2) other

3. Extensions cannot be granted by the lecturer after the submission date. In the event

of serious illness or unusual circumstances, a student may apply for Special

Consideration in accordance with the rules and regulations governing this application,

but it is important that such requests be made as soon as the circumstance is known.
