A pre-opening guide and checklist for new hotels [Free download]

Opening a new hotel is one of the most exciting moments in hospitality but also one of the most complex. Long before your doors open, decisions about distribution, technology, pricing, and content shape whether those first few months are successful. The hotels that launch the strongest treat these factors as one connected job to be done, months or years in advance.

This free guide and checklist walks you through exactly what to set up and when – from securing your domain 12 months out to running test bookings in the final weeks before launch. You’ll find value here if you’re:

• A new hotel owner or developer preparing to open your first property and unsure where to start.
• A general manager or pre-opening lead responsible for getting systems, rates, and listings live before launch day.
• A revenue or distribution manager building a channel mix and pricing strategy from scratch.

Inside we’ll cover everything you need to know, including:

• How to build a multi-channel distribution strategy and go live with bookings months before opening
• The core tech stack every new hotel needs: PMS, channel manager, booking engine, payments, and more
• How to set a profitable pricing foundation using comp set data, dynamic pricing, and rate parity
• A content and SEO plan to build visibility and credibility before your first review
• A complete pre-opening checklist mapped across a 12-month countdown
