Can hotels unlock revenue potential with the addition of knowHaus Tiny Homes?
Since the soft launch of our Knowhaus Tiny House just four weeks ago, I've been repeatedly asked a thoughtful question by friends and family: 'Why would a hotel business invest in your Tiny House when they already have plenty of rooms, likely not all occupied?” This question prompted me to revisit my industry research spanning three years and reaffirm the undeniable viability of Tiny Houses for hotels.”
Let’s dive in. Knowhaus represents an exceptionally innovative and artistic interpretation of the Tiny House concept. And whilst it undoubtedly adds a touch of uniqueness to a hotel business, we must address the fundamental question: How can this product truly enhance the bottom line and become commercially viable for the hospitality industry?”
The Knowhaus Tiny House isn't just a dwelling; it's a luxury home. Within this unique offering lies a tremendous opportunity, particularly for the burgeoning work-from-home sector seeking an inspiring change of scenery to boost productivity. The Tiny House experience offers the freedom of self-catering, seamlessly blended with the convenience of hotel-grade amenities.
In recognising the dynamic shifts in work patterns, the hospitality industry stands to unlock a multitude of advantages. Embracing the rise of remote workers, often referred to as digital nomads, presents an opportunity to extend guest stays, bolster mid-week occupancy rates and substantially boost ancillary spending on dining, beverages and laundry services. Their sustained presence also fosters a valuable source of returning guests, fostering long-term relationships with the establishment.
Furthermore, as sustainable tourism continues to dominate the minds of hoteliers, it becomes imperative to cater to the growing demographic of environmentally conscious guests. Crafted to meet Passivhaus standards, a Knowhaus Tiny House not only bolsters a hotel's reputation but also solidifies its identity as an environmentally responsible and eco-friendly establishment.
In the dynamic landscape of 2023, travellers are on a perpetual quest for fresh, immersive experiences. Enter the Knowhaus Tiny House – a dwelling on wheels that unlocks a world of possibilities. Picture this: you could park it serenely by a picturesque lake during the summer or transform it into a snug forest retreat during winter's embrace. It’s the epitome of versatility, offering a multitude of experiences within the confines of a single room.
Indeed I would love to see a Knowhaus Tiny House on the beach, not by the beach, literally on it! Imagine stepping out of the Tiny House straight into the sand, that is an experience I would love to have. Is that even a possibility? It sounds like a planning permission nightmare but I would to explore it. And if the storm clouds roll in, so could the Tiny House, providing adaptability and comfort in the face of changing weather.
