The design of your website makes a much bigger impact on people than you might realise. A profitable hotel website is one that builds trust with its visitors and influences them to book directly on the website. All elements, from branding to layout and colours to “calls to action” (CTAs) play a crucial role in engaging with users and increasing the hotel website conversion.
 “Good design is obvious. Great design is transparent” - Joe Sparano
Hotelchamp’s design team works with luxury hotel brands to create brand-specific solutions for each individual hotel property. These crafted tools and solutions are nearly indistinguishable from the website’s design and branding – they bear no Hotelchamp appearance or branding and so provide a seamless user experience to website visitors. Every design is crafted to meet each luxury property’s brand guidelines.
After all, a luxury hotel’s individuality and reputation is just as much about their brand as it is their hospitality; personal touches, location, impeccable service, and luxurious amenities. So when looking for a luxurious five-star hotel, there are already a handful that come to mind. Here are 10 of the luxury brands that are already providing their guests with the ultimate guest journey – on-site and online.
