Managing OTA bookings shouldn’t feel like a daily juggle — yet many independent hotels still deal with rate mismatches, double bookings, and slow updates across channels. With 60% of all hotel bookings now happening online, choosing the right channel manager matters more than ever.

eZee Centrix is a popular choice, but many hotels today are exploring alternatives that offer faster sync, deeper integrations, and better automation. Tools like AxisRooms, SiteMinder, Cloudbeds, and STAAH are often compared by hoteliers looking for smarter distribution control.

Is your hotel’s morning routine a chaotic tech circus? One screen for reservations, another for check-ins, a crumpled spreadsheet for housekeeping, and sticky notes plastered everywhere for guest requests. I’ve walked into too many properties where staff are drowning in this digital mess, and guess what? It’s not just slowing you down – it’s bleeding your revenue and frustrating the very guests you’re breaking your back to impress.

The fix? Less complicated than you might think: a genuinely integrated, all-in-one hotel software solution. We’re talking about replacing that exhausting juggling act with a single, powerful command center. And no, this isn’t just another minor tech upgrade to ignore – it’s the strategic move that lets your overworked team focus on what actually drives revenue: creating those jaw-dropping guest experiences that keep people coming back.

Redefining Hotel Distribution for the Modern Hotelier

In a strategic move aligned with the evolving digital landscape of the hospitality industry, Keys Hotels, a well-established brand in India’s budget and upscale hotel segment, has announced its collaboration with AxisRooms, a Bengaluru-based hospitality tech company specializing in hotel distribution.

This partnership focuses on digitally optimizing distribution channels and equipping Keys Hotels with a seamless, automated inventory management systemacross all booking platforms.

What Is a Hotel Booking Engine?

For newer hoteliers or those shifting from manual systems—here’s a quick definition:

Running a hotel means handling many things at once—check-ins, guest requests, staff coordination, and more. The Hotel Management System (HMS) you use is at the heart of all these tasks, so it’s essential that it works smoothly. But what if your current system is causing more problems than it solves?

Running a hotel today means juggling everything from guest expectations to OTA visibility — and your PMS plays a huge part in keeping operations smooth. Oracle OPERA is powerful, no doubt, but many small and mid-sized hotels find it too complex, expensive, or IT-heavy for their day-to-day reality. That’s why more properties are exploring flexible, cloud-based options that are simpler to onboard and easier for teams to adopt.

With the global PMS market projected to hit USD 12.26 billion by 2033, hotels everywhere are moving toward systems that offer mobility, automation, and real-time OTA sync without the enterprise overhead. 

In this guide, we’ll break down the best Oracle OPERA PMS alternatives, share how we evaluated them, and help you choose a cloud PMS that genuinely fits your hotel’s size, speed, and workflow.

For any hotelier, there’s that sinking feeling: empty rooms at the end of the day. But what if you could turn those last-minute vacancies into an opportunity? Let’s break down why these trends are game-changers and how they can help your boutique hotel stay ahead.

Boutique hotels are independent properties that offer an unparalleled level of luxury and intimacy to guests. Unlike large hotel chains, these hotels focus on providing unique, personalized experiences that prioritize guest comfort above all else. However, in striving to offer something distinct, boutique hotels face unique challenges that can impact their sustainability and growth.

Have you ever faced the awkward moment of turning away guests because you overbooked? Or worse, losing revenue because of last-minute cancellations? Overbooking is a tricky game. It can bring you more profits, or it can cost you your reputation. The good news? You can make it work in your favor with the right plan. By combining smart strategies, reliable tools, and a touch of empathy, overbooking can become a way to boost revenue without sacrificing your guests’ trust. Whether it’s no-shows, peak season chaos, or unpredictable cancellations, there’s a solution that doesn’t leave anyone disappointed.
