HENNESSY PARK HOTEL AND NINETY-SIX HOTEL GROUP

EBENE | MAURITIUS

Project Date: September 2025 – April 2026

Positioning, refurbishment and operational advisory for a Mauritian business hotel, extended to group-level revenue management across the Ninety-Six portfolio.

The Brief

Ninety-Six Hotel Group appointed InnSight Advisory to help with a detailed profit and product improvement plan, and shape the next phase of development for Hennessy Park Hotel in Ebene, Mauritius. The questions were the ones every owner of a maturing asset eventually faces: where the property should sit in its market, what refurbishment priorities should actually be, look like and cost, which operational priorities carry the most commercial weight, and what the business is genuinely capable of producing. Group management wanted an independent read rather than a confirmation of any internal work.

The Work

At property level we worked with the Group on future positioning for Hennessy Park, refurbishment opportunities and the operating priorities that would follow from them, the guest experiences the repositioned hotel would need to deliver, reworked ten-year management and owner financial improvement forecasts, owner returns, and the overall business potential of the asset. The work was structured with CAPEX scenarios offered, to give management a framework for their own decision-making rather than a single recommendation to accept or reject.

At Ninety-Six Group level the engagement extended into revenue management improvement across the portfolio, covering segmentation, pricing, commercial performance and the design of a more structured revenue strategy for the hotels.

The Outcome

The group came out of the engagement with a clear framework for Hennessy Park’s next development phase and a more structured approach to revenue strategy across the portfolio.

In the client’s words

“We would like to express our sincere appreciation to InnSight Advisory for the valuable support provided during their mission with Hennessy Park Hotel and Ninety-Six Hospitality Group. Their contribution has helped us structure our reflection around Hennessy Park Hotel’s future positioning, refurbishment opportunities, operational priorities, guest experience, and overall business potential. Their external perspective, market understanding, and practical hotel expertise brought clarity to important strategic discussions and helped us better frame the next phase of development for the property.

At Group level, InnSight also supported our Revenue Management work, bringing useful insights into segmentation, pricing, commercial performance, and a more structured approach to revenue strategy across the hotels. We appreciated their ability to combine strategic thinking with operational pragmatism, and we thank the InnSight team for their professionalism, commitment, and constructive contribution throughout the mission.”
