Property Consultancy

Our Property Consultancy service supports boutique hotels and villas in creating distinctive, market-ready hospitality experiences. Led by Druvi Gunasekara, Founder and Editor of Boutiques in Sri Lanka, the consultancy draws on over two decades of senior management experience in luxury hospitality, boutique hotel curation, and international tourism marketing in numerous countries.

We work closely with owners to define the core boutique concept, clarify what differentiates their property, and align guest expectations with a strong, authentic identity. Our guidance covers design direction, operational excellence, building brand image and market positioning, ensuring every detail – from interiors to service – is tailored to elevate the property’s profile and appeal.

Areas covered in our consultancy include:

– Defining the concept of a boutique hotel
– Understanding guest expectations and the unique differentiators of boutique hotels and villas
– Design guidelines: layout, colours, ambience, settings, and soft interior elements
– Identifying marketable aspects based on the property’s brand positioning
– Advising on target source markets suited to the property’s design and positioning
– Operational standards: staff uniforms, welcome and departure SOPs, and standard operating procedures
– Strategies to cater to guest expectations and deliver memorable experiences
– Designing authentic local experiences based on location and concept of the property
– Pricing structures and strategies for optimal revenue and market positioning

All properties we provide consultancy to are carefully selected in keeping with our platform’s focus on luxury boutique hotels. As an added benefit, these properties are eligible for inclusion in Sri Lanka’s only luxury accommodation guide, which is circulated in 25+ countries, offering global visibility and strategic marketing reach.

Through this comprehensive approach, we ensure boutique properties are not just aesthetically exceptional, but also strategically positioned for long-term success, strong market presence, and loyal guests.
