The guest
The relationship starts and stays with you — not a booking handed over by a platform that owns the inbox.
⧫ HOTEL FIRST.
For travelers: the power of a big platform — exclusive prices, full transparency, and a direct line to the hotel, with no middlemen.
For hotels: direct-booking terms — no commission, payment at booking, and the guest's full details. Coming: mechanisms to reduce cancellations.
And this is only the beginning of what we offer our partners.
The commission in your contract is only the first line. Run your own numbers below.
You're paying for guests you already earned — while losing the data you need to keep them.
YOUR DATA STAYS IN YOUR HOUSE. NEVER LICENSED BACK, NEVER SOLD.
A members' marketplace built to bring you guests you don't reach today — on direct-booking terms: charged at booking through your own gateway, you as merchant of record, and the guest's full details. No commission, no payment withholding, no black-box algorithms.
⧫ THE OPEN LEDGER
The same room at a $1,000 lowest public rate, sold four ways. Discounts lower the guest's price on every side; fees come off after. Tap to open the ledger.

ⓘ Illustrative, computed from the rates stated in each column (your own card fee: 2%) — not an audit or a claim about any specific property. With a virtual card, the card is loaded after commission, so its fee applies to that net. If the member finishes on your own site (15% + 3% for the guest), B+OTA reaches $804. Your contract and mix differ — run your own numbers below.
Parity rules stop you from rewarding the guest who books direct — even on your own site. Drop below the OTA price and your ranking and visibility quietly fall. You feel free, until you try to move. B+OTA gives you a way out that leaves your public rate untouched: a closed member rate your guests unlock, priced the way you want. Member rates sit behind a login, so your public rate stays unchanged. Check your OTA agreements; we'll go through them with you. Built to bring you new demand. The pilot measures it, with no lock-in.
⧫ THREE SOVEREIGNTIES
The relationship starts and stays with you — not a booking handed over by a platform that owns the inbox.
Stored in your own cell. Never licensed back to you, never sold to anyone. One source of truth you control.
Built to bring you new demand, without the legacy agency's distribution overhead. Charged at booking through your own gateway, you as Merchant of Record, your rooms at the price you set — no black-box algorithm.

THE HIVE
Founding design partners are being selected now. Real names and the size of the Hive will appear here as hotels join — we will not invent a roster.
⧫ THE HIVE
Two waves into the Hive: our first Design Partners shape the product directly; a broader Partner wave follows. Founding partners receive exclusive terms, kept for as long as the conditions are met. The earliest get the best. No cost during the pilot; founding terms are shared one-on-one at onboarding.
Run your own numbers in the calculator above — what reaches you per booking, on each channel. A closed-member platform: we verify your direct-sale capacity before deployment, so your money and your guests come straight to you.
