Repositioning a Hospitality Operator

Brand Strategy, Brand Architecture, Identity, Guidelines, Corporate Collateral, Rollout

Gewan Hotel Management required a strategic repositioning to strengthen its role as a trusted operator across the UAE and wider region. The objective was to articulate a clearer operator promise, refine service pillars and present the group as a capable partner for owners, developers and asset managers seeking consistent hospitality performance.

Approach

We defined a sharper operator narrative based on clarity, consistency and measurable service delivery.

The work began with a review of Gewan’s existing portfolio, management capabilities and competitive position in the region. Through interviews and market analysis, it became clear that the operator needed a more confident framework for how it communicated its expertise and value to owners and investment partners. We structured an operator proposition that highlighted core strengths across operations, staff development, guest experience, asset management and reporting. A new service architecture was created to clarify how Gewan supports properties at each stage of the hotel lifecycle. This strategic foundation informed the tone and visual direction of the new identity system.

The Solution

We introduced a clear and flexible identity system that strengthened Gewan’s credibility with hotel owners and investors.

The design direction balanced simplicity and professionalism, helping the operator communicate its refined service pillars with confidence. We created a suite of corporate tools, including proposals, management presentations, investor packs and operational templates. The system supported Gewan’s repositioning by presenting the group as structured, reliable and performance focused. Digital guidance was prepared to help translate the operator story across the website and online platforms. The tone emphasised trust, transparency and a grounded approach to hospitality management, reinforcing Gewan’s new positioning.

The Outcome

The repositioning clarified Gewan’s value as an operator and improved its ability to engage property owners and decision makers across the UAE.

The new narrative and identity helped the group communicate its strengths more effectively, supporting its efforts to secure management contracts and expand in the regional market. The structured service architecture and refined presentation tools gave Gewan a clearer voice during negotiations and property onboarding.
