At Hotel Trader, our goal is pretty simple — we’re building the distribution infrastructure hospitality should have had all along. That’s why we created The Exchange. It’s one platform where hotels connect directly to a global network of travel buyers. Instead of managing a bunch of separate connections, contracts, payment flows, and intermediaries, you distribute your rates and inventory once — directly from your PMS or CRS — to hundreds of travel buyers worldwide. It centralizes distribution, but you still keep full control and full visibility into performance. Bringing connectivity, transparency, data, and speed in one place, so you can run your distribution strategy on your terms.

Our technology resculpts hospitality distribution, eliminating complexity between hotels and travel buyers with immediate access, transparent connections, and control without technical and contracting burden....creating better experiences for the travelers at the heart of it all.

Hotel Trader exists to rebuild the infrastructure  of hospitality distribution - from the ground up. We're not patching leaks or adding another layer of complexity - we're designing an entirely new system that delivers what modern distribution requires. This Exchange transforms how the industry operates. For hotels, it delivers unprecedented control and clarity. Enabling activation on behavioral intelligence to manage global distribution through targeted campaigns across hundreds of buyers - with full visibility into who sells your inventory and at what rate, in just a few clicks.

Supplier Launchpad is an industry-first platform for rapid, self serve supplier onboarding. Designed to eliminate the traditional friction of connecting properties to distribution channels, it’s your fast-track into the Hotel Trader Exchange, where speed, accuracy, and automation replace outdated, manual processes.

The Alignment Score measures a Travel Buyer’s ability to book a hotel directly. Buyers want to buy directly from hotels, and hotels share the same goal. Both want more direct revenue with accurate and reliable rates. Alignment brings them together. Learn more, including how to improve your score, above.
