How this index is compiled.

Current coverage

The index currently covers 21 properties and 3,206 rooms across 13 cities in 3 countries. Coverage is deliberately narrow while the sourcing method is validated, and expands city by city rather than by bulk import.

Where the data comes from

• Publicly observable signals on hotel websites — booking-engine domains, script tags and reservation flows.
• Vendor-published customer lists, case studies and press releases.
• Company filings, funding announcements and corporate registries for vendor facts.
• Hotel group technology partnerships announced publicly by either party.

Known limitations

We would rather state these plainly than have you discover them.

• Hotel technology stacks change without announcement. An entry reflects the most recent public signal, not a guaranteed current state.
• Large groups often run different systems per property or per region, so a brand-level attribution can be wrong at an individual hotel.
• Absence of a vendor from a hotel's entry means we have no public signal, not that the hotel does not use it.
• Room counts and employee figures are approximate and drawn from public sources.

Editorial independence

Hotel Tech Index is published by Blue, which sells hospitality software and therefore competes with some vendors listed here. Ordering is by listed deployment count, never by commercial relationship. No vendor pays for inclusion, placement or removal, and no listing carries affiliate links. Where Blue would be a competitor to a category, we say so on the page rather than omit the category.
