Independent hotels should keep what they earn.
We build the all-in-one platform boutique and independent hotels run on: a booking engine, a property management system, and built-in upsells, all on your own website. Own your guests, keep 100% of every booking, and earn more from every stay.

A note from Jamie, our founder.
Why I built Hotelia
Before Hotelia, I spent my career building seamless booking experiences for small business owners, and I kept seeing independent hotels struggling with something nobody was fixing. They run on tight margins, yet everyone takes a cut, OTAs at 15 to 30 percent, and even booking tools skimming every transaction. Worse, your property management system and your booking engine were never built to talk to each other.
So I built one that is: a property management system with the booking engine built in, connected, simple, and zero commission, so you keep 100 percent of your direct bookings.
The hoteliers I serve got creative to bring a dream to life. When they keep what they earn, they reinvest in their properties, their teams, and their communities. That is why I built Hotelia.
"Your best booking channel should be your own website, under your brand."
What we believe
The principles that shape every decision we make.
Your guests chose you.
The relationship, the names, and the emails should be yours, not the marketplace's. You keep them from day one.
Upsells should feel like hospitality.
The best add-on is one the guest thanks you for. Grow revenue by making the stay better, never by squeezing.
Software should get out of your way.
If you can use a smartphone, you can run your whole property on Hotelia. No consultants, no six-month rollout. You can be live the same day.
Built by operators, for operators.
Every feature exists because it solves a real problem we had running properties ourselves, not because it looked good on a roadmap.
Who Hotelia is for
Hotelia is built for independent and boutique properties in the 5 to 60 room range. Inns, lodges, retreats, and the owner-operators who run them with lean teams. People who know their guests by name and want to own the relationship end to end.
We weren't stripped down from an enterprise system built for a chain. We were designed from day one for you.
