Hotel rooms and online reservations

Hotel rooms are the central product, and guests can reserve them online or by telephone. The service is built around accommodation in many destinations, which lets travelers plan a trip around where they want to sleep rather than around a single property. Its model works as an online travel agency, so stays from several providers can be looked at together. The focus stays on finding and reserving hotel rooms, which keeps the offer clear for anyone arranging accommodation ahead of a journey.

Growth from telephone bookings

The business began as Hotel Reservations Network, taking hotel bookings through a telephone line in the United States. It later adopted a new name and began accepting reservations online. Wide international growth followed, with many regional branches opened over a short stretch of time. The shift from calls to online bookings opened the service to travelers far beyond one country. Ownership later changed hands within the travel industry, and the company moved into the larger online travel group that now sits behind it.

Corporate structure

The legal entity behind the brand is a limited partnership based in the United States. A large online travel group owns it, and the brand operates as one of the group's travel businesses. The parent also runs other travel brands, so the booking service sits within a wider family of companies. For anyone researching the brand, its place inside a long established group is a central part of how it is run.
