Hotel Email Marketing
Hotel email marketing gives you a direct line to guests before, during and after their stay. Every guest who books with you is a chance to earn the next stay without paying an online travel agency commission. We build the emails around the guest journey, connect them to your property systems, and send seasonal offers to the right past guests. If the property's brand needs a refresh first, see our hotel branding service.

Key takeaways
- Each email maps to a point in the stay, such as an upgrade offer after booking or a review request soon after checkout.
- Marketing focuses on guests who gave consent directly, since OTA bookings often arrive with masked addresses and marketing limits.
- Review requests go to every guest, not only happy ones, because some review sites ban selective requests.
Emails Across the Guest Stay
The best-performing hotel emails are tied to dates the guest already cares about. We map each one to a point in the stay.
After Booking
A clear confirmation, then an offer for room upgrades, parking, breakfast or early check-in.
Pre-Arrival
A few days out: directions, check-in times, mobile key or app details and dining reservations.
During the Stay
A short welcome note with Wi-Fi, amenity hours and a way to ask for help before a problem becomes a bad review. Replies to the reviews that do get posted are covered by our hotel reputation management service.
Post-Stay
A thank-you and a review request, sent soon after checkout while the stay is fresh.
Return Visit
A note near the anniversary of the stay, or when the guest's usual travel season comes around.
Building Direct Bookings From Your Own List
Online travel agencies bring guests, but they charge commission and keep much of the relationship. Guests who booked through an OTA often reach you with a masked email address, and OTA terms can limit how you market to them. Your own guest list, built from direct bookings and on-property signups, is the asset you control.
We help you grow it with a signup offer on your booking engine, a Wi-Fi login opt-in and a member rate for subscribers. Then we send offers that make booking direct worth it: a better rate, a free upgrade, or perks the OTA listing does not include.
Seasonal campaigns go to the past guests most likely to respond. Summer families hear about summer. Business travelers hear about midweek rates. Winter guests who came for skiing get early season news.
PMS, Booking Engine and Data Connections
Guest data sits in your property management system, such as Oracle Opera, Cloudbeds, Mews or RMS. Booking data may also sit in your booking engine or CRS. We connect these to your email platform through native integrations or a guest data tool, so emails use real arrival dates and stay history.
We set rules that keep guests from getting emails that do not fit. Someone who just checked out should not get a "come back soon" offer the next morning. A guest who left a complaint should get a reply from your team, not a promotion.
Every promotional email follows CAN-SPAM, with your property address and a working unsubscribe link. Booking confirmations and other transactional emails go through a separate stream, so a marketing campaign cannot hurt their sender reputation.
Hospitality Email Marketing for Groups and Multi-Property Brands
Groups with several properties need more structure. We build one template system with property-level content, so each hotel keeps its local voice under one brand. Guests who stayed at one property can hear about a sister property in another city, if their past stays suggest interest.
We also run emails for meetings, weddings and events. These follow a longer sales cycle, often with your sales team in the loop. For resorts, we add spa, dining and activity campaigns aimed at guests who are already booked. Hotel restaurants that also want local diners can see our restaurant email marketing page.

Pricing and How We Report
Setup gets a fixed quote up front and covers system connections, templates and the core guest journey emails. Monthly management starts at $1,000 a month. Cost depends on the number of properties, the systems we connect and how many seasonal campaigns you run.
We report on bookings and revenue tied to email where your booking engine supports it, plus upsell take rate and review volume. We will not promise a set occupancy or booking number. We will show you which emails led to direct bookings. For the full program, see our email marketing services.

Hotel Email Marketing Questions, Answered
Straight answers to the questions we hear most. Ask us anything else on the free audit call.
You can send them stay-related emails, but OTA terms often limit marketing to those guests. We focus marketing on guests who gave you consent directly, such as at check-in or on Wi-Fi. That keeps you on the right side of both CAN-SPAM and your OTA agreements.
Most properties send one or two campaigns a month, plus the automated guest journey emails. Seasonal resorts may send more before peak booking windows. We watch unsubscribes and booking data to set the pace.
Yes. We set up post-stay emails that ask for reviews on the platforms you choose. We send the request to every guest, not only happy ones, since some review sites ban selective requests.
Yes. A small property can start with a pre-arrival email, a post-stay email and one seasonal campaign a month. That covers most of the value with little upkeep.
