Client Overview:
Berida Hotel is a boutique heritage hotel located in the heart of Bowral in the NSW Southern Highlands. Known for its refined interiors, warm hospitality, and timeless charm, Berida offers guests a luxurious yet relaxed stay, whether visiting for a weekend escape, a celebration, or a regional getaway. Alongside accommodation, the hotel is home to Bistro Sociale and Aspinall’s Bar & Lounge, popular dining destinations that attract both hotel guests and locals alike.
Project Goals:
The primary goal was to design a sophisticated website that encourages direct online bookings, reducing reliance on third-party platforms. The site needed to clearly communicate the hotel’s luxury accommodation, amenities, and services, while also elevating the visibility of Bistro Sociale as a destination in its own right. Additional objectives included improving the mobile user experience, building trust through guest testimonials, and growing a database of engaged subscribers via Mailchimp for ongoing marketing and guest communication.
Our Approach:
This project was delivered in collaboration with Loved.Locked.Loaded, with Jen leading the website design and copywriting. We worked closely together to create a polished, high-end website that reflects Berida Hotel’s heritage character while delivering a modern, seamless booking experience.
Built on WordPress with Elementor, the site balances elegant design with practical functionality. Clear navigation guides visitors through accommodation options, dining, and hotel services, while prominent calls-to-action encourage direct bookings.
Testimonials from happy guests are featured throughout the site to build credibility and reinforce Berida’s reputation for exceptional service. Dedicated sections highlight Bistro Sociale, ensuring it stands out as a key offering rather than an afterthought. A Join our Team page supports recruitment, allowing applicants to submit enquiries and upload resumes directly through the website. Integrated email marketing tools support long-term relationship building, while thoughtful layout and imagery reinforce Berida’s premium positioning.
