What It Is

Hotelbeds is the flagship brand of HBX Group and the world's largest B2B travel solutions provider. Originally founded in Spain in 2001 as part of First Choice and spun off as an independent company, it expanded significantly through the acquisition and integration of competing bedbeds including GTA and Tourico Holidays. Hotelbeds directly contracts its full portfolio of over 300,000 properties, securing competitive, often exclusive, net rates distributed exclusively through B2B channels.

Who It Serves

Hotelbeds connects hotels with hard-to-reach B2B travel buyers — over 60,000 distributors including tour operators, retail travel agents, airline websites, loyalty programs, and corporate travel managers across 140+ source markets. This B2B-only model means hotels reach customers they cannot easily access through direct or OTA channels, complementing rather than competing with other distribution strategies.

How Hotels Connect

Properties join Hotelbeds by contracting directly with its hotelier team via the Hotelbeds extranet (hotelier.hotelbeds.com). Over 200 channel manager integrations allow real-time rate and availability synchronization. Beyond rooms, Hotelbeds also distributes transfers, activities, and ancillaries, making it a comprehensive wholesale distribution partner for accommodation providers of all sizes.
