Your booking engine loads. The guest toggles dates, adds a spa package, enters payment — and you keep 100% of the margin. That's hotel website development: a direct booking system that replaces OTA dependency with your own conversion stack. Your site becomes the revenue channel — mobile-first checkout, real-time inventory sync, dynamic rate parity, review aggregation from TripAdvisor and Google — all under your brand. The average property surrenders 15–25% per OTA booking. Multiply that across 200 nights and you've funded a competitor's ad budget instead of your guest experience. A custom hotel site with an integrated booking engine and automated email flows turns your domain into the primary acquisition layer, not a brochure that leaks to Booking.com.

Veelgestelde vragen
How much does a custom hotel website cost?
Our hotel websites start at $8,000 for a single-property site with booking engine integration. Multi-property sites and complex PMS integrations typically run from $14K to $25K+. Every project is fixed-fee — no hourly billing surprises. That price covers design, development, CMS setup, and 30 days of post-launch support.
Can you integrate with my existing PMS or channel manager?
Yes. We've built integrations with Cloudbeds, Mews, Little Hotelier, Guesty, and Oracle Opera. If your PMS has an API, we can pipe real-time availability and rates directly into your booking flow. For systems without APIs, we fall back to iframe or redirect-based solutions.
How long does it take to build a hotel website?
A standard single-property hotel site takes 6-8 weeks from kickoff to launch. Multi-property sites or projects with complex integrations run 8-12 weeks. We work in fixed sprints with weekly demos so you can see progress and flag anything before it becomes a problem.
Will a custom website actually reduce my OTA commissions?
Our clients typically see a 40% drop in OTA booking share within 6 months of launch. The driver is a fast, mobile-optimized booking flow paired with rate parity and direct booking incentives. We build the technical foundation — you bring the pricing strategy and guest relationships.
Do I need a separate booking engine or is it built into the site?
It depends on your PMS. Some systems like Cloudbeds include a booking engine we can style and embed directly. Others need a third-party engine like SiteMinder or TravelClick. Either way, we integrate it so guests never leave your domain during checkout, which protects both trust and conversion rates.
Can I update room rates, photos, and content myself?
Absolutely. Every hotel site we build runs on a headless CMS — typically Sanity — with a clean editing interface your team can actually use. Update room descriptions, swap gallery images, create seasonal packages, publish blog posts. No code required. We train your staff as part of the launch process.
