Hotel Website Design India
Built for Indian Properties
Pick a theme. We launch it on your domain in 7 days. Stop handing 15–18% commission to MakeMyTrip and Booking.com on every reservation.
Hotel website design in India starts from ₹15,000 (excluding GST at 18%) for a Business theme with 5 pages, mobile-first layout, and WhatsApp inquiry. Standard packages with a booking engine start at ₹35,000. Premium custom-theme builds with one year of support are ₹75,000.
Every package is delivered in 7 days. You own the website outright — no monthly platform fee, no lock-in. Indian OTAs like MakeMyTrip, Goibibo, Booking.com and Agoda remain in sync via a channel manager.
Why Your Hotel Needs Its Own Website
OTAs bring bookings, but they extract a steep price. Every booking through MakeMyTrip or Booking.com costs you 15–18% in commission. A direct booking from your own website costs you nothing. Here is what you gain the day your site goes live.
Zero Commission on Direct Bookings
A hotel with 10 rooms at ₹5,000 ADR and 65% occupancy loses roughly ₹17 lakh a year to OTA commission. Even 25% direct bookings cuts that by ₹4.3 lakh annually.
You Own the Guest Relationship
OTAs never give you the guest's phone number or email. With direct bookings, you build your own guest database for upsells, return visits and direct re-marketing.
Rank on Google for Your Location
A properly built website ranks for searches like "boutique hotel in Jaipur" or "beach resort Goa". OTA listings never rank for your specific property name the way your own site does.
Offer Direct-Only Rates
OTA rate parity clauses are being relaxed. You can now offer guests a small direct discount — or include extras like early check-in — to nudge them away from OTAs.
GST Invoices Under Your GSTIN
Direct bookings let you issue GST invoices under your own registration. Corporate guests get clean input tax credit. OTA-routed bookings complicate this chain.
WhatsApp Bookings from Your Site
Indian travellers prefer WhatsApp to fill out forms. A floating WhatsApp button on your site converts browsing into a conversation — and conversations into confirmed bookings.
Three Themes Built for Indian Hotel Types
Most generic website builders were built for Western markets. These three themes were designed specifically for the Indian hospitality landscape — the way Indian guests browse, the OTAs they use, the pricing they expect to see, and the compliance requirements around GST invoicing.
Warm earth tones, full-bleed cultural imagery, ornamental dividers, and serif typography. Built for properties where the architecture is part of the experience.
- Full-bleed hero with layered storytelling
- Ornamental section dividers
- Serif typography for warmth and prestige
- Gallery with caption overlays
- Activities and experiences section
- Guest testimonial showcase
Light airy palette, large lifestyle photography and generous whitespace. Designed to sell the feeling of a holiday — not just a room type and a price.
- Lifestyle photography layout
- Availability calendar prominent above fold
- Package and offer tiles
- Activities and water sports section
- Seasonal offer banner
- Instagram feed integration
Clean grid layout, structured room listings, prominent proximity to tech parks and transport hubs. Built around the corporate traveller's decision checklist.
- Sticky "Book Now" button on all pages
- Corporate rate enquiry form
- Proximity map (airport, metro, offices)
- Conference and meeting room section
- GST invoice generation built in
- Quick-load, clean grid layout
Heritage Theme: For Boutique and Heritage Hotels
The Heritage theme works for properties where the physical space is the product — havelis in Jaisalmer, plantation bungalows in Coorg, tea estate homes in Munnar, old colonial properties in Pondicherry. Guests are buying an experience, not a commodity room.
Best for: Palace hotels and havelis, heritage homestays in Rajasthan, Kerala and Himachal Pradesh, boutique jungle lodges, colonial-era properties. Average Daily Rate typically ₹4,000–₹15,000.
The Heritage theme emphasises storytelling. It gives you full-bleed photography sections, a property history timeline, and an experiences block — treks, cooking classes, heritage walks — all designed to justify a premium price over budget alternatives on OTAs.
| Feature | Heritage Theme | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Typography | Serif headings, clean body text | Signals prestige and authenticity |
| Colour palette | Warm terracotta, ivory, aged gold | Evokes the property's material culture |
| Photo sections | Full-bleed, with caption overlays | Lets the architecture sell itself |
| Experiences block | Activities, day tours, cooking classes | Increases total spend per guest |
| Rate display | Per-night rate with meal plan labels (EP, MAP, AP) | Matches how heritage guests browse |
| Booking path | Enquiry form + WhatsApp for customised stays | Heritage guests often call before booking |
Coastal Theme: For Beach Resorts and Lake Properties
The Coastal theme is built for properties where the location is the lead selling point. Beach resorts in Goa, Gokarna, Varkala and the Andamans. Backwater homestays in Alleppey. Lake properties in Udaipur and Nainital. The website needs to sell the feeling before the guest even checks the room types.
Best for: Beach and lake resorts, Goa and Kerala backwater properties, surf camps, eco resorts near water. Average Daily Rate typically ₹6,000–₹20,000.
Coastal properties see strong seasonal demand spikes — Goa peaks in November to February, Kerala in August to October during monsoon houseboats, hill resorts in summer. The Coastal theme includes a seasonal offer banner and packages block so you can push the current season's deal without touching a developer.
| Feature | Coastal Theme | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Hero layout | Large lifestyle photo, availability widget above fold | Reduces friction to first click on dates |
| Packages section | Honeymoon, monsoon special, family package tiles | Higher booking value vs room-only |
| Seasonal banner | Editable strip at top of homepage | Push offers without developer help |
| Instagram feed | Auto-pull from your Instagram account | Free social proof update daily |
| Activities section | Water sports, beach activities, excursions | Justifies rate vs budget options on OTAs |
| Mobile load speed | Optimised image delivery, lazy loading | Holiday browsers use mobile heavily |
Business Theme: For City and Highway Hotels
The Business theme is the most stripped-back and conversion-focused of the three. It is built for properties in Bengaluru tech corridors, Mumbai business districts, Pune IT parks, Delhi NCR corporate zones and national highway properties. The guest knows what they need. The website's job is to confirm it is available and make booking frictionless.
Best for: City business hotels, corporate service apartments, highway hotels, airport properties. Average Daily Rate typically ₹3,500–₹8,000.
Corporate accounts are a major revenue line for business hotels. The Business theme includes a dedicated corporate rate enquiry form so companies can negotiate a rate and book on account — something OTAs cannot facilitate cleanly. The sticky Book Now button stays visible as the guest scrolls through room options, removing the need to hunt for a booking path.
| Feature | Business Theme | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Sticky booking button | Always visible, all pages | Removes the need to scroll back up |
| Corporate enquiry form | Company name, GST number, room requirement, preferred rate | Captures corporate account leads OTAs miss |
| Proximity section | Distance to airport, metro, tech parks, MIDC zones | The first thing a business traveller checks |
| GST invoice generation | Automated on booking confirmation | Corporate guests require GST invoice with GSTIN |
| Meeting rooms | Capacity, layout, AV equipment listed | Day-use meeting bookings, additional revenue |
| Load speed | Under 2 seconds target on 4G | Business travellers book quickly, often at airports |

Already on OTAs? Keep your MakeMyTrip, Goibibo and Booking.com listings active. OTAs bring discovery traffic — especially for new properties that have not built Google rankings yet. Read our hotel direct booking strategy guide for how to run OTAs and a direct website together without rate parity conflicts.
You can also learn how OTA commission structures work — what each platform charges, how net rates differ from gross rates, and when an OTA relationship makes sense vs when it eats too deeply into margin.
How We Deliver in 7 Days
Seven days from first call to live site. Here is exactly what happens at each stage.
We have a 30-minute call to understand your property type, target guest, and which theme fits best. We send you a simple checklist: photos needed, pages to include, contact details, GST number. You send us everything over WhatsApp or email.
You receive a live link to your website preview — your photos, your content, your property name, applied to your chosen theme. Not a mockup image. An actual working site you can browse on your phone.
You give feedback. Change the room order, update a price, swap a photo. We make all changes within 24 hours. You sign off on the final version — or we do another round if needed.
We point the site to your domain, run final checks on mobile and desktop, connect the booking engine to your channel manager, and go live. We walk you through managing the site and transfer all access credentials to you.
What is a booking engine? It is software embedded in your website that lets guests check real-time availability, select a room type, and pay — without leaving your site, and without going through an OTA. You collect the payment directly and keep 100% of the room revenue. Read our complete guide to hotel booking engines to understand how they work, what to look for, and which ones are used by Indian hotels.
