Hostar International Partners with Avani+ Barbarons Seychelles Resort to Redesign Housekeeping Operations with ProHost® Full Service Solution
Hostar International today announced a new partnership with Avani+ Barbarons Seychelles Resort, part of Minor Hotels, to implement the ProHost® Full Service Solution.
Set on the west coast of Mahé Island, the reimagined Avani+ Barbarons Seychelles will reopen with 192 fully refurbished guest rooms and suites, new Lagoon Access Rooms, expanded dining concepts, and enhanced guest experiences. As part of this transformation, the resort is investing not only in its guest-facing offerings but also in the operational systems that power performance behind the scenes.
Hostar’s ProHost® Full Service Solution is designed to address a fundamental challenge across the hospitality industry: operational inefficiencies are not caused by people, but by systems that fail to support them.
Most hotel operations today rely on labor-intensive, reactive workflows with inconsistent inventory and material flow. These conditions lead to wasted time, unnecessary movement, lack of control, and inconsistent room readiness.
Hostar replaces this model with a structured operating system that defines how work happens.
Through the ProHost® solution, Avani+ Barbarons Seychelles Resort will implement controlled material flow across housekeeping operations, ensuring that every room attendant is equipped with the exact supplies needed to complete their shift efficiently, with minimal movement and disruption.
The system centralizes and tracks guestroom inventory, creating real-time visibility and control over linen, terry, and other high-value items. This reduces over-purchasing, limits loss, and delivers measurable cost savings.
By removing friction from daily workflows, ProHost® enables predictable, repeatable execution. The result is improved labor productivity, lower cost per occupied room, and more consistent room readiness across the property.
Equally important, the system is designed to support the workforce itself. By reducing physical strain, eliminating unnecessary searching and restocking, and simplifying daily routines, ProHost® creates a more stable and productive work environment for housekeeping teams, helping improve employee retention in a high-pressure operational setting.
The partnership aligns with Minor Hotels’ commitment to operational excellence across its global portfolio of more than 560 properties in 57 countries. As the Avani brand continues to evolve into a contemporary, experience-led hospitality offering, operational consistency and efficiency remain critical to meeting guest expectations.
With its relaunch, Avani+ Barbarons Seychelles Resort is positioned to set a new benchmark for premium hospitality in the Indian Ocean, combining elevated guest experiences with a modernized operational foundation.
ProHost® Full Service Solution at Avani+ Barbarons Seychelles Resort
The ProHost® Nexus Full Service Solution optimizes room attendants' daily workflow by providing the precise amount of guest supplies needed for each room, allowing the Housekeeping operation to focus on servicing the rooms and guests rather than restocking & replenishment trips. This efficiency ensures rooms are always impeccably prepared, elevating guest comfort and satisfaction.
Each room attendant is equipped with a 40S Supplier Cart, a C3 Collector Cart for seamless room-to-room movement, and a 56R Reserve Cart. The ProHost® System customizes each Housekeeping Cart with the exact supplies needed for each section, streamlining operations.
This system alleviates the burden of distributing linens, terry, and supplies on attendants, managers, and housepersons by handling the entire distribution process. With the system in place, the housekeeping team can focus on exceptional guest service, while managers and housepersons address other critical tasks.
Overall, the Nexus Full-Service Solution simplifies operations, boosts team efficiency, and enhances both guest satisfaction and operational performance.
