Tablet Hotels features outstanding properties around the world. Hotels featured on our site are defined by strong personality, attention to detail and service. Our selection covers a wide range of styles, atmosphere, and prices. Many of these properties have received praise locally and internationally for years, while many others are recent discoveries. Most are independent "boutique" properties, though outstanding hotels that are also members of chains may be included on an individual basis. The key is that all Tablet Hotels offer their guests a unique and exceptional experience.
As a selection-based OTA, our users trust our taste. We do the hard work of selecting only the world's most extraordinary hotels, and we make booking them as painless as possible. To guarantee satisfaction for our clients, we ensure that every hotel featured on Tablet is first evaluated and approved by our selection committee. This process consists of:
High-resolution photography must be submitted at the time of the application. The digital photos enable our committee to convene remotely, greatly accelerating the selection process as well as the subsequent construction of the selected hotel's dedicated web page on Tablet Hotels. Hotels that do not provide photography at the time of application will not be prioritized.
Once a hotel is selected and invited for inclusion, there are no joining or annual fees. Tablet only charges a travel agency commission (minimum of 15%) for actualized stays. Hotels are invoiced monthly for all stays completed during the prior month.
The criteria necessary for remaining on Tablet Hotels:
To be featured on Tablet Hotels, your hotel must offer electronic access to room inventory. We understand that not all hotels operate in the same fashion; as such, there are a few options for inventory access:
Automatic inventory and rate updates must be delivered through our XML connection with an approved channel manager, such as:
If you are using a different channel manager (not listed above), please contact our Hotel Team.
Tablet Hotels reserves full editorial and creative control on hotel pages (written description and photo editing). This is to present consistent, site-wide standards. We do, however, encourage input as to the accuracy of the information displayed.
Due to the intensive nature of our review process, there is a one-time, non-refundable processing fee of $250.00USD. Kindly note: This fee is not refundable, regardless of the selection team's decision to include (or) not include the property on Tablet Hotels.
Thank you and we look forward to reviewing your hotel. Please apply here.
