Frequently asked questions
What does The Hotels Network actually do?
It provides an ecosystem of growth tools for a hotel's direct booking channel: benchmarking (BenchDirect), conversion and personalization features such as price comparison, behavioural targeting and A/B testing, predictive personalization, Connect AI listings in ChatGPT, and KITT, an AI voice and text guest service agent.
How much does it cost?
BenchDirect is free for hotels forever, so benchmarking the direct channel can start at no cost. Conversion & Personalization plans are quote-based: the vendor says they scale from low-priced entry options to all-inclusive enterprise solutions, and prices are not published on the site.
How long does implementation take?
The vendor states installation is a single line of code added to the existing website, taking an IT person about ten minutes. There is no learning curve or warm-up period, and results are visible live on the dashboard from day one.
Will it work with our existing website and booking engine?
Yes. The vendor says the product works on any hotel website regardless of technology provider and that it integrates with the existing solution and improves it, rather than requiring a website rebuild.
What AI capabilities are included, and how are they billed?
Sources describe a hospitality-specific predictive algorithm for intent-based targeting and automated campaigns, Connect AI (listing in the ChatGPT direct booking app, with live rates and direct booking links) and KITT, an AI voice and text guest service agent in 50+ languages. The vendor does not publish which models it uses, whether customers can bring their own keys, or any AI-specific pricing.
How do we evaluate it before committing?
The vendor offers a live demo with no risk, followed by a free 30-day trial of the software, during which the direct channel can be observed day by day.
