Turn Sold-Out Nights
Into Direct
Group Bookings
When the hotel they asked for is full, the concierge offers the sister property that fits — and the credit stays with the hotel that earned the conversation.
Where The Bookings Go
Full Here. Empty There.
Three guests the group already had, lost between its own hotels.

A Recommendation.
Not a Fallback.
The concierge reads the travel purpose it detected, scores every sister on availability, type and amenity overlap, and tells the guest why that one matches better.

How We Help
What Changes Across a Group
| A group of five hotels | Without HotPilot | With HotPilot |
|---|---|---|
| Guest hits a sold-out property | Goes to an OTA | Offered a matched sister |
| Which hotel is suggested | Whoever answers | Scored on fit and availability |
| Credit for passing the guest | None | Recorded at every step |
| Brand voice across properties | Nine versions | One, themed per hotel |
| Group reporting | Nine exports | One rolled-up view |
The Solution
One Group, Not Nine Hotels With One Owner
Cross-property
Intent-matched, never alphabetical
Sold out is only one trigger. Wrong season and wrong property type for the detected travel purpose count too. Each sister is scored on availability, type fit and amenity overlap — and the guest is told why.
Attribution
The credit follows the guest
A handoff is recorded when it is suggested, when the guest accepts and when it converts. The originating property keeps the touchpoint, so no hotel is punished for sending a guest to its sister.
Control
You decide how forward it is
Per group: off, suggest or aggressive. Per property: opt out entirely and never be offered. A hotel that does not want to be the overflow option simply is not one.
Brand
One brand, many properties
Shared knowledge and a consistent voice, with per-property theming so each hotel still looks like itself. Roles and permissions stop a manager in one property reading another's numbers.
Reporting
Group numbers, not nine dashboards
Funnels, attribution and KPI snapshots roll up across the group, with a documented attribution method rather than a black box you are asked to trust.
Operators
For operators, not only owners
If you manage properties for other people, the partner portal gives scoped access, rate cards and multi-touch attribution per agency — without handing anyone the keys to the whole group.
Built For Every Role
Who Reads Which Number
A group has more than one person asking a different question of the same month.
- Owner — direct share and commission not paid
- Group GM — handoffs between properties and where they converted
- Revenue manager — rate calendar, competitor moves, upsell attach
- Property manager — their own hotel only, and nobody else's
FAQ
What Groups Ask First
Online
It only suggests inside a group you define, only from properties that opted in, and only when the property the guest asked about is genuinely unsuitable — sold out, wrong season, or wrong type for the trip it detected. Everything else gets a normal answer about the hotel the guest came for.
Online
The sister takes the reservation and the revenue. The originating property keeps the attribution touchpoint, recorded at suggestion, acceptance and conversion, so the hotel that did the work can prove it did.
Online
Yes. The partner portal scopes access per property with its own permissions and rate cards, and multi-touch attribution reports per agency rather than per owner.
Online
A property is a tenant with its own theme, content and modules. Adding one does not touch the others, and a property can join or leave a group without anybody rebuilding a website.
