Hotel Engine

Hotel Engine offers a free-to-use platform with more than 700,000 listed properties available worldwide for business travel solutions. Platform features include a dashboard to manage business bookings; centralized lodging management with features such as department caps and maximum nightly rates; its direct billing program that provides folios and a monthly reconciled invoice; “Bleisure” travel for members, where a business trip extends into a personal vacation; and group bookings for healthcare staff and company events. In December 2022, Hotel Engine launched Flex Coverage, which allowed reservations to be cancelled up until noon on the day of check-in without penalties and premature departures during the reservation period with compensation received for unused nights.

Hotel Engine takes a commission for each booking and offers hotel partners free access to its SPARC platform, which provides business intelligence insights.
