Find Hotels leads your competitors can't.

Reach hotel GMs and owners when a new property, brand or management company takes over.

Hotel buying is split between owners, management companies and on-property leaders, so the general manager may love your product while the asset manager or brand standards decide. The moments that open a door are a new GM, a reflag, a renovation or a management company change. Updately watches hotel hiring, guest review trends and the booking and guest tools on hotel sites, so you reach the property in the middle of change instead of mailing every hotel in a city.

Who uses Updately to sell into Hotels

Sell into independent and boutique hotels, branded franchise properties, hotel management companies, resorts, and small hotel ownership groups.

PMS, booking engine & channel manager vendors

Reflags, management company changes and new GMs are the rare moments a hotel actually swaps core systems.

Revenue management & business intelligence

Properties hiring a revenue manager or cluster revenue director want better forecasting and pricing tools straight away.

Guest messaging, upsell & reputation tools

Hotels with slipping review scores or repeated complaints about check-in and communication need a fix before the next season.

FF&E, renovation & design firms

Renovation announcements and PIP requirements after a brand change mean rooms, lobbies and public spaces need refreshing.

Hotel staffing & housekeeping outsourcing

Persistent housekeeping and front desk openings point to properties that can't staff themselves.

Energy, laundry & facilities services

New owners and asset managers look for operating cost savings in their first year.

Buying signals

The signals that predict a Hotels deal

Updately watches job boards, LinkedIn, Reddit, X and company websites for these moments, then finds the person behind each one.

Hiring signal

New GM, revenue or sales leadership

A hotel hiring a general manager, director of sales or revenue manager is about to re-evaluate vendors. New leaders tend to bring their preferred tools and want quick wins in the first quarter.

Example job post
“Hiring: General Manager — 140-key upscale hotel, newly under third-party management, leading the property through renovation.”
Review signal

Review themes that point to a fixable problem

Repeated guest complaints about check-in queues, unanswered messages, Wi-Fi or room condition tell you exactly what a property needs and give you a specific, timely opener.

Example review
“Recent guest reviews for a downtown hotel repeatedly mention long check-in waits and no reply to pre-arrival requests.”
Social signal

Hoteliers asking peers about systems

GMs and revenue managers ask on LinkedIn and Reddit which PMS, channel manager or upsell tool works for their size of property. Updately finds those posts and who wrote them.

Example post
“Independent 60-room hotel here. Our PMS is on-premise and support is painful. What cloud PMS are other independents happy with?”
Tech stack signal

Booking engines and guest tools on hotel sites

See which booking engine, chat widget or upsell tool a hotel's site runs, so you know whether they're a switch, an add-on or a first-time buyer.

Example website scan
“Boutique hotel's 'Book now' button opens a dated booking engine on a separate domain, with no mobile-friendly checkout.”

FAQ

Selling into Hotels: common questions

Who makes buying decisions at a hotel?+

It depends on ownership. Independent hotels: the owner and GM. Branded properties: the brand mandates some systems, the management company picks others, and the GM influences the rest. Revenue managers drive pricing tools, directors of sales drive CRM and group tools, and asset managers approve capital spend.

What are the best triggers for selling to hotels?+

A new GM or sales leader, a change of management company, a reflag to a new brand, an announced renovation, and a run of negative reviews about a specific issue. Each one creates a short window where vendors are reconsidered.

Can I target independent hotels only?+

Yes. Describe it in plain English, such as 'independent and boutique hotels with 30 to 200 rooms in Europe', and every lead is scored against that. Branded franchise properties can be filtered out or targeted separately.

How is this different from hospitality-and-travel?+

This page is about hotels and resorts, where buying runs through GMs, management companies and owners. The hospitality and travel page covers tour operators, vacation rentals and travel agencies, which buy very differently.
