Hilton and Crowne Plaza Lead in Hotel Customer Satisfaction

11/11/2010
Hilton and Crowne Plaza have edged ahead of their competitors in terms of customer satisfaction ratings.  Mantra, Marriot and the Intercontinental are close behind. The customer satisfaction rating of the Intercontinental has steadily declined since February 2010, and has now reached its lowest level in over two years (84.5%).
 

For the 12 months to September 2010, 87.2% of Australians who stayed at a Hilton hotel were either ‘very’ or ‘fairly’ satisfied, followed by 87.0% for Crowne Plaza, 86.3% for Mantra, 86.0% for Marriott, and 84.5% for the Intercontinental.


Hotels/Resorts Customer Satisfaction – Top 5 Performers


Source: Roy Morgan Single Source (September 2007 - September 2010). Total stayed at a hotel or resort in the last 12 months n=24,594, for the latest 12 months (October 2009-September 2010) n =7,641. “% satisfied” is the proportion of all customers who are “Very” or “Fairly” satisfied with that hotel or resort (on a five point scale).


Jane Ianniello, International Director of Tourism, Travel & Leisure, Roy Morgan Research, says:

“With Hilton, Crowne Plaza, and Marriott improving their customer satisfaction ratings over the past two years, the Intercontinental has dropped to fifth position.  There is now less than a three percentage point gap between the top five hotels indicating that all of them are competing for the same ‘top-end’ customers.

“Although Hilton has a narrow lead in terms of general customer satisfaction, Marriott, Crowne Plaza and the Intercontinental have the highest levels of satisfaction amongst business travellers.

“It is increasingly important to understand as much as possible about these ‘top-end’ customers – what they are interested in, what they read, watch, visit and what services or partnerships might enhance their relationship with these hotel chains. Roy Morgan Profiles provide a detailed understanding of luxury hotel chain customers.”
