Around 70% of corporate travel stays are booked directly by the traveler, not in a managed travel program. Hotel Engine specializes in providing industry-leading tools and analytics to the unmanaged corporate traveler. While we have a few enterprise clients, our customer base of 600,000+ is growing by 10,000 members per month and spans industries from state government, financial services, construction and logistics, energy, health care staffing and business services. In turn, our partners gain exclusive access to a diverse growing network of unmanaged travelers. Plus, we have a dedicated Project Services team that connects large group bookings and extended stays with hotels within our partner network.

Hotel Engine uses the Global Distribution System (GDS) to make and deliver reservations into the hotel’s property management system (PCS), unless otherwise specified by our team. Hotel Engine will provide a virtual credit card and credit authorization for each reservation, helping your property to get paid quickly. All our payment processes comply with current PCI regulations. Hotel Engine keeps a small percentage of each room night booked on our platform as payment.

Hotel Engine travelers come from diverse industries. Our customers can book short-term transient stays, extended stays (30+ nights), group stays, short-term projects and leisure stays on our platform. We provide our partners with tools to craft strategies that will help fill your property’s unique needs. Hotel Engine partner hotels get nearly 40% more contracts than non-partners, and twice as many total room nights than non-partners, averaging 125 total room nights a year.

Hotel Engine has partnerships with most major hotel chains in the US and around the globe, and is expanding our direct relationships at the corporate level daily. As a corporate travel provider, we can negotiate rates with any hotel that desires to grow its corporate customer base. To date, we have more than 700,000 lodging partners on Hotel Engine through a direct connection on our platform or an indirect connection with a third-party supplier. Speak with our Lodging Partner Specialist team to discuss your corporate rate structure and opportunities to better tailor your rate to market needs. 
 

Our hotel partners see several benefits when they decide to create a direct relationship with us. The primary benefit is unlocking our closed network of vetted business travelers, and using our platform to create a direct booking connection to your property, all without a commission. Properties with a Silver Level discount or above have access to our Project Services team, driving new group and extended stay opportunities. Also, with a direct relationship you can connect your hotel’s loyalty program to our platform, helping to drive additional leisure travel and brand allegiance.  

And since we are a closed platform, you don’t have to worry about parity issues or your rates becoming available to travelers outside of Hotel Engine.
