Independent hotels, inns, guesthouses and B&Bs

The CRM for independent hotels and guesthouses.

GuardenerAI for hotels is a CRM for the sales and marketing that sit outside the property-management system: group and wedding enquiries, corporate accounts, contracts signed online, deposit invoices, and direct marketing to past guests by email, SMS or WhatsApp. It is for independent hotels, inns and guesthouses that want more direct bookings and more group business.

Your property-management system runs the rooms. The group enquiry from a wedding party, the corporate account that could fill twenty nights a month, and the past guest who would book direct if you asked usually live in an inbox. GuardenerAI is where that business is won.

Sound familiar?

What this usually looks like today.

What changes

One system, doing the work with you.

Group business on one board

Group, wedding and conference enquiries become opportunities with dates and value, moving across a board so every proposal has an owner and a next step.

Contracts signed without the printer

Send the group or corporate agreement from the contact’s record. They sign on any device, your manager countersigns, and the sealed PDF is filed on the record.

Corporate accounts kept warm

Keep each company with its travel bookers and past stays, and lay down a regular account check-in with an action plan.

Direct bookings from past guests

Import past guests who opted in and send seasonal offers by email, SMS or WhatsApp to a segment, respecting every unsubscribe.

FAQ

Questions from teams like yours.

Does it replace our property-management or booking engine?
No. Rooms, rates and reservations stay in your PMS and booking engine. GuardenerAI handles group and corporate sales, agreements, deposits and guest marketing.
Does it sync guests from our PMS automatically?
No. Export guests who agreed to hear from you and import them from a CSV file, mapping the fields once.
Can groups pay a deposit by card?
On the Max plan you can send a Stripe card payment link with the deposit invoice. On other plans you record payments by hand.
Can guests book site visits themselves?
Yes. Share a booking link for site visits that only offers times your sales manager is free in their Google or Microsoft calendar.
