The challenge: Scaling luxury rentals while maintaining impeccable service
As Rove Travel grew its portfolio and expanded into new markets, it faced a challenge unique to the luxury rental industry: how to scale operations while maintaining premium service. Managing an increasing number of high-end properties required a robust, all-in-one platform capable of handling owner relations, guest services, and operational efficiency without sacrificing quality.
Traditional property management solutions fell short, lacking the sophistication needed to support a fast-growing luxury brand. Rove needed a technology partner that could offer advanced automation, seamless integrations, and a superior booking experience for both guests and property owners.
Elevating operations with Guesty
Guesty provided the technology infrastructure Rove needed to expand while ensuring a seamless luxury experience. With Guesty’s platform, Rove has achieved remarkable growth:

- Maximized occupancy. In 2024, Rove’s NYC properties reached an impressive 86% average occupancy rate.
- Direct booking dominance. 74% of bookings in NYC come through Rove’s proprietary booking site, Rovetravel.com, reducing reliance on third-party OTAs and increasing profitability.
Data-driven revenue optimization
Rove Travel relies on smart tools and performance insights to make informed decisions that drive revenue and occupancy.
- Advanced Analytics: Year-over-year revenue data and occupancy reports help Rove identify underperforming properties and quickly adjust pricing and marketing strategies. In addition to these key insights, Advanced Analytics includes a wide range of reports that cover various aspects of performance, such as lead management and sales pipeline tracking.
- Airbnb Quality Dashboard: Helps maintain listing visibility by flagging low-scoring properties that require immediate attention.
