Hotel & Resort Website Design: Book Direct, Reduce OTA Dependency (2026)

Featured Snippet: A great hotel website converts direct bookings by offering: a fast, beautiful room gallery with WebP images, a direct booking engine (Cloudbeds, Hotelogix), best-rate guarantee messaging, Google Hotel Ads integration, and local SEO targeting "[hotel type] in [location]" searches.
