Hotelogix introduces hourly booking feature to help hotels maximize revenue opportunities

Hotelogix, a global leader in cloud-based hospitality technology, has launched an hourly booking module designed to help hotels optimize revenue streams while offering flexible check-in and check-out times to meet the evolving needs of modern travelers. This new feature enables hotels worldwide to provide guests with the option to book rooms and pay only for the hours they use, making accommodations more affordable.

As travelers increasingly prioritize flexibility and cost-effectiveness, the hourly hotel booking segment has experienced significant growth. Valued at $16.67 billion in 2019, the segment is projected to reach $25.62 billion by 2027. Countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, India, the Philippines, and other Southeast Asian nations are witnessing a surge in demand for hourly stays. This model caters to guests seeking short-term accommodations for various purposes, such as resting during layovers, catching up on work, or recharging during busy schedules—all while saving up to 60% on accommodation costs. Airport hotels, transit hotels, business hotels, capsule hotels, and love hotels are increasingly adopting this short-stay concept.

With Hotelogix PMS's Hourly Booking feature, hotels can go beyond simply offering rooms by the hour. They can also apply packages, provide discounts, and extend late check-out options. Additionally, Hotelogix has introduced a custom reporting feature, allowing hotels to track key metrics such as revenue streams and guest sources. These insights help hotels analyze trends, make data-driven decisions, and refine their revenue strategies.

"The hourly booking feature will transform how hotels enhance occupancy and optimize revenue potential while addressing the changing needs of today’s travelers. This innovation places us ahead of competitors and unlocks exciting new market opportunities. Hotels can now move beyond outdated solutions that hinder operational efficiency," said Aditya Sanghi, CEO of Hotelogix.

Highlighting the value of the feature, Alexander Asuncion, Senior Executive of GCGC in the Philippines and COO & Business Unit Head of Global Officium Limited Inc. (GOLI), shared: "Selling rooms by the hour is critical for our portfolio of hotels. It allows us to serve a market segment that values affordability, exceptional guest experiences, and superior customer service."

GCGC, which manages over 60 properties with more than 8,000 rooms under brands like Hotel Sogo, Eurotel, Apo View Hotel, DreamWorld, and Astrotel, has benefited significantly as an early adopter of Hotelogix's hourly booking features. The group has recorded an average of over 750 hourly bookings per month, with each booking lasting approximately six hours. This approach has resulted in a 40% increase in revenue per room.
