Abstract

For teaching purposes, this is the case-only version of the HBR case study. Each of Lilypad's boutique hotels has its own sense of place and definition of customer experience. Though loyal to their favorites, guests don't visit other luxury properties in the collection or even realize they're affiliated. To boost the lifetime value of existing customers and reach new ones, CEO Andre Cleary is thinking about positioning the hotels more directly under the corporate umbrella. The company could gain scale efficiencies and possibly increase visits - but does one brand really fit all?
