Hotelzify piloting hotels into a new era of autonomy

Hotelzify is a self-serve website development and booking management platform for hotels and resorts. The platform empowers independent property owners to achieve greater productivity and success, fully leveraging their potential, optimising processes, and harnessing the power of their existing tools. Anirudh Ganesh, Co-founder and CEO, Hotelzify, calls upon hotels, resorts, and homestays to look beyond the intermediaries and embrace a new era of autonomy with Hotelzify as their invaluable partner.

Hotelzify aims to empower short-term rental accommodations and hotels to get more direct bookings to increase margins and gain visibility via Google Hotel Ads. It has established partnerships with over 700 plus hotels and resort properties in India, delivering significant value to its businesses within a short span of time, and intends to grow its reach significantly in the coming years.

Speaking about the inspiration behind establishing Hotelzify, Anirudh said, “My work schedule led me to travel extensively, where I chanced to interact with hoteliers in Indian cities and Southeast Asia. Post this, during COVID, we had a work-from-home model, so I backpacked across Himachal, Ladakh, and Northeast (Meghalaya, Assam, Nagaland, and Arunachal), where I interacted with a lot of vacation rental owners aspiring to build a digital presence. This recurring request became the genesis for Unnikrishnan CJ, my cofounder, and me to build Hotelzify.”

Hotelzify currently offers a freemium model where properties pay a commission ranging from 2.5 per cent to 7.5 per cent depending on the source of booking. They also have a monthly fixed fee model, which provides additional features like a website domain, custom themes, and a chatbot on the website.
