Revenue model

1. Hotel Accommodations: Oheka Castle operates 34 uniquely designed guestrooms and suites across categories (Chateau Rooms, Whitney Rooms, Gatsby Suites, Fairbanks Suites, Carnegie Suite, Olmsted Suite). Room rates range from $495 to $1,295 per night depending on room category and season. Weekday packages (Monday–Thursday) are priced at $295+ and include a Chateau Room stay. Multiple premium packages (Romantic Date Night at $825, Marriage Proposal package at $3,325, Ultimate Romantic Evening at $15,000, Million Dollar Package) bundle accommodations with dining, spa, and experiences. This is a recurring, per-stay revenue stream with strong upsell dynamics through package upgrades.
2. Events and Weddings: Oheka Castle hosts one wedding per day and can accommodate up to 350 guests for sit-down dinner in the Terrace Room, or up to 1,000 guests for Gatsby-style events. A rental fee reserves designated areas of the estate for exclusive use. Rehearsal dinners, bridal showers, bar/bat mitzvahs, sweet sixteens, galas, and fundraisers are also hosted. Wedding catering is provided in-house. A bridal suite and getting-ready room are included for the wedding couple. The Castle hosts an annual Bride & Groom Show to generate wedding leads. This is the primary high-revenue stream, generating significant per-event fees plus catering revenue.
3. Dining (OHK Bar & Restaurant): OHK Bar & Restaurant is an on-site dining venue open to hotel guests, tour participants, and the public. Executive Chef Raed Jallad, Executive Pastry Chef Daniel Andreotti, and resident Sommelier Samantha Bellando lead the kitchen. The venue offers a la carte breakfast (7:00am–10:30am) served in the Grand Ballroom or Formal Dining Room, a bar program (Gatsby Hour Monday–Thursday 4pm–7pm with $6 draft beer, $10 wines by the glass, $12 cocktails, $15+ bar bites), three-course dinners, and private dining. Lunch reservations are available via OpenTable and phone. This is a recurring F&B revenue stream.
4. Historic Mansion Tours: Guided docent-led mansion tours priced at $30 per adult, $25 for seniors (55+), $20 for students (ID required), $15 for hotel guests, $10 for children 12 and under. Group tours (10+ people) are $25/person, with 20+ person groups at $20/person. All tours are by reservation only. This provides recurring per-person admission revenue and serves as a customer acquisition funnel for hotel stays and event bookings.
5. Film, Television, and Photography Location Rentals: Oheka Castle serves as a filming and photography location for professional commercial productions. Contact is via Kelly Melius at [email protected] or 631-659-1301. Commercial photo shoots are subject to fees, insurance requirements, and a strict schedule. This revenue stream capitalizes on the estate's cinematic European-style architecture and proximity to New York City. Past productions include Citizen Kane (1941), Royal Pains, Succession, The Diplomat (Netflix), and Taylor Swift's 'Blank Space' music video.
6. Gift Cards and Gift Coins: Gift cards sold in increments from $25 to $1,000+. Gift coins available in $10 and $100 denominations (coins do not expire; cards valid for five years from purchase). Sold online via the gift shop. This is a transactional revenue stream that drives advance bookings and guest acquisition.
7. Legacy Bricks: Engraved Legacy Bricks sold at $300 per brick (Phase I). Purchasers can engrave up to 3 lines of text with 18 characters per line. This is a discretionary memorabilia product that also deepens guest emotional connection to the property.
8. In-Room Massage Services: In-room massage services exclusively for hotel guests. Pricing is $200 for 60 minutes per person and $300 for 90 minutes per person. Booking requires 24-hour advance notice with 24-hour cancellation policy. This is an add-on ancillary revenue stream bundled with hotel stays.
9. Corporate Retreat Packages: Small corporate retreat packages include use of the Charlie Chaplin Room (capacity 20 guests), personalized 2-course lunch or working lunch, morning and afternoon breaks, and discounted hotel room rates. The property can accommodate programs of 10 to 400 attendees across its function rooms. This is a recurring B2B revenue stream targeting corporate clients for team retreats, executive meetings, and off-site events.

Direct peers

• The Breakers Palm Beach: Iconic Gilded Age-era luxury resort in Florida offering 200+ rooms, weddings, dining, and event spaces. Closely comparable operating model as a heritage full-service luxury hotel with high-end wedding and corporate event focus.

• Biltmore Estate: America's largest private residence in Asheville, NC, referenced as the only estate larger than Oheka. Operates as a luxury hotel, winery, wedding venue, and tourism destination - the closest direct peer for a historic mansion event business model.

Regional players

• Vanderbilt Museum and Planetarium: Gold Coast Long Island estate explicitly bundled into Oheka's own Gatsby Package. Operates as a museum, historic site, and event venue in the same geographic market with overlapping wedding and corporate event offerings.
• Mill Neck Manor: Gold Coast Long Island historic estate venue for weddings, corporate events, and cultural programming. Geographic and use-case overlap with Oheka for affluent Long Island wedding and event demand.
• Coe Hall at Planting Fields: Long Island Gold Coast historic estate offering mansion tours, weddings, and educational programming. Bundled into Oheka's Gatsby Package as a partner attraction, signaling direct competitive overlap in the heritage tourism market.

Broad incumbents

• Biltmore Hotel Coral Gables: Historic 1926 luxury hotel in Florida with comparable Gilded Age grandeur, ballroom weddings, and corporate event programming. Overlaps with Oheka's full-service luxury hotel and event positioning at a larger scale and broader resort footprint.
