Management

A holistic approach
Hotel Management

Cliste manage full operational risk, and therefore provide full management responsibility for the hospitality property. Our team of experts will then devise and implement a conscious strategic plan, through well-established logistics and experience. At Cliste Hospitality we ensure a seamless transition with an integrative approach. This approach is whereby responsibility for the management of the property becomes Cliste Hospitality’s. We understand that change requires trust and faith and therefore prioritise each project’s needs. At Cliste we consider our relationship with our developers and owners as a partnership. An alignment and understanding that is fundamental to the success of the project. Cliste provide support and systems at every stage of the hotel life-cycle, from initial development through to on-going operations.

Cliste Hospitality will then manage the hotel but ownership of the physical building remains with a third-party owner. Senior management are generally Cliste employees like the General Manager and the Financial Controller, who have oversight and experience to build a successful team.
