For tourism and hospitality businesses, a digital presence can play a direct role in sales and occupancy. Travellers planning visits from around the world often explore a hotel’s website, examine its rooms and try to understand its atmosphere before choosing where to stay.

A professional boutique hotel website or hotel-chain portal should present room comfort, facilities and location through high-quality images. It can also include an effective online booking integration so that guests can reserve directly, reducing reliance on intermediary agencies such as Booking or Expedia and their commissions.

Since 2004, Grimor has offered multilingual tourism website development to hospitality businesses, hotels and agencies. These solutions aim to support direct bookings and enquiries from international markets.

Standards to consider for hotel and tourism websites

To develop a website as a direct sales channel, Grimor’s design and software teams consider the following areas:

Visual design and virtual-tour integrations

Visual presentation can strongly influence a guest’s decision. We design websites to present the property like a carefully prepared catalogue, with room, restaurant and shared-area photography. Where required,360-degree virtual tours and quality promotional videos can be integrated into the interface.

Booking-engine integration

We connect booking engines, or the property’s existing channel manager, through supported APIs. Guests can select arrival and departure dates, enter the number of people, check availability and proceed to payment through the chosen provider.

Mobile experience and quick contact

Travellers often access hotel websites on phones during a journey or after a flight. We use a mobile-first approach, with responsive pages, map directions and convenient contact actions. Telephone or WhatsApp functions can be considered where they form part of the hotel’s agreed requirements.

International SEO and multiple languages

To address visitors from different countries, the website can support languages such as Turkish, English, German, Russian, Arabic and French. The technical structure can provide language and regional signals that help search engines understand the versions; indexing is not guaranteed.

Examples from the tourism sector

Examples of accommodation and related business projects include:

  The Magnaura Palace Hotel: For this boutique hotel in Sultanahmet, in the heart of Istanbul’s historic peninsula, we developed a multilingual website combining its historic setting with accommodation details and a focus on direct reservations. Its SEO foundation was designed to support discovery by international travellers.

  Elif Aksu Gayrimenkul Danışmanlığı: We developed a visually rich platform for property and residential investment in tourism destinations, addressing both Turkish and international investors.

What can Grimor’s hotel solutions offer your property?

  Direct bookings: systems can encourage guests to book through your own website and reduce intermediary commissions. Booking-engine and payment-provider charges may still apply, so direct booking should not be described as universally free of commission or fees.

  Straightforward room management: a Turkish management interface lets authorised staff update room prices, seasonal offers, images and availability within the configured scope without routine technical assistance.

  Performance and security: hosting is planned around international access, expected demand and suitable protection measures. Neither maximum speed nor complete immunity from attacks can be guaranteed.
