approximately $415 million in EBITDA on roughly $64$ million in revenue This high margin is driven by premium pricing—Midweek ADR averages near $990 and Weekend ADR near $1,200—and relatively low variable costs, totaling about 15% of revenue However, growth relies heavily on increasing occupancy from the initial 550% to the target 820% by 2030 You must focus on maximizing ancillary revenue streams like Spa Services ($35,000 in 2026) and optimizing the high fixed cost base ($95,500 monthly) to ensure profitability even during seasonal dips This guide outlines seven actions to push your
