Single-host warmth, room-by-room layout, breakfast included, host-introduction page, pet-friendly toggles and quiet-hours policy display.
Drive-up rooms, nightly-turnover focus, simple booking flow, pickup-ready check-in via SMS-only confirmation and zero-frill rate display.

High-season pricing, amenity-driven booking, spa and water-sports add-ons, group-event quote form and beach-access policy display.
Three steps to launch a hotel reservation system, direct booking engine and branded property site. Describe your hotel, let AI build rooms + checkout + calendar, then point a custom domain. Same AI Hotel Site Generator from the top of this page.
Type one line in the AI Hotel Site Generator: room count, location, seasonal pricing model and any signature amenity. Or pick a property pill (Boutique, B&B, Vacation Rental) to skip the typing.
Appy Pie’s AI builds your room-type CMS with nightly rates, direct booking engine, calendar availability per room, deposit checkout, group booking quote form and reservations portal. Tweak any block in the drag-and-drop editor.
Point your custom domain, free SSL auto-issues, calendar sync turns on (Google, Outlook, iCal + Airbnb iCal to block sync), Hotel + LocalBusiness schema submits to Google. Most hotels take their first 20-30 direct reservations within 14 days of launch.
You hand the studio a one-line brief. Appy Pie’s AI returns a hotel site in the box: homepage, room-types page, direct booking engine, deposit checkout, calendar availability, reservations portal and a branded confirmation email.
The same generator behind 6,000+ Appy Pie launches per week handles the boring parts: Hotel + LocalBusiness schema, Open Graph cards for every room page, Stripe Connect onboarding, SMS provider routing, deposit hold logic, sitemap submission and a global CDN that delivers sub-1s page loads to international guests.
Every booking through Booking.com or Expedia loses 15-25% to commission. Airbnb takes 14-16% from hosts plus a 3% payment fee. A direct booking site on Appy Pie keeps 100% of the room rate (minus Stripe’s standard 2.9% + 30¢). The math is brutal at scale.
A small hotel doing $30K monthly OTA volume loses $4,500-7,500/mo to commission. Most hotels on Appy Pie recover the entire platform plan cost within the first 30-40 direct bookings, then every booking after is pure margin recovery.
Pre-designed hotel websites for boutique hotels, beach resorts, mountain lodges, city business hotels, B&Bs, motels, vacation rentals and hostels. Each template ships room CMS, direct booking engine and Hotel schema. Switch templates anytime without losing reservation data.
Honest comparison: where each path wins, where it loses, and when it’s the right pick. Acknowledging competitor strengths, not just gaps.
Five revenue lines, all native. No OTA commission, no per-booking platform fee beyond Stripe. Counterintuitive insight from 1,200+ lodging website builds: hosts with custom domain direct booking sites generate 22 to 38 percent more repeat bookings than Airbnb-only listings, because guests bookmark and rebook directly with the host.
The default revenue line: nightly room rates via Stripe with deposit hold + balance on arrival. No OTA commission cut.

Booking.com was taking 18% of every reservation. On $28K monthly volume that’s $5K every single month I was handing over. Appy Pie shipped a direct booking site in one afternoon. Within 90 days, 41% of my bookings were direct.
Inês opened The Iris Mae in 2024 with 12 rooms, a courtyard breakfast service and 100% of her reservations coming through Booking.com and Expedia. By early 2026 the property was clearing $28K monthly room revenue, but Booking.com’s 18% commission rate was costing $5,040 every month, before any property tax, staff, or operations.
She switched to Appy Pie’s hotel website builder over a long Sunday afternoon between guest turnovers. The AI generator built the room-types page, direct booking engine, deposit checkout, calendar availability and a Portuguese-English bilingual front page. Stripe Connect linked in minutes. She kept her existing Booking.com listing active (no need to delist) and added a “Book Direct + Free Breakfast Upgrade” CTA in confirmation emails to guests who’d booked through OTAs.
By day 30, 22% of bookings were direct. By day 90, that climbed to 41%. Annual savings vs OTA-only: $50,400. Inês used the recovered margin to upgrade the breakfast program and add a small wine cellar (both of which raised the average direct booking nightly rate by $32).
Use this if you’re an independent property or small group. Skip it if you need an enterprise PMS with deep OTA channel sync.
