Inside HotelHuddle: How the Marketplace Works for Hotels

HotelHuddle was built to feel different from legacy RFP tools. Instead of pushing generic rate requests to every hotel in a chain, the marketplace surfaces specific opportunities to the hotels that can serve them best.

If you run revenue or sales for a hotel or management company, it helps to understand exactly how the flow works.

Opportunities start with structured requests

Travelers and companies begin by describing their needs in detail. They provide destinations, dates, room counts, and budget ranges, but also context such as project type, crew behavior, and policy rules.

This structure means your team sees opportunities that are already qualified, not random leads pulled from a wide net.

You decide which requests to pursue

Within HotelHuddle, you can filter opportunities by market, stay pattern, and size. That makes it easy to prioritize business that fits your forecast, seasonality, and property positioning.

• Target long stay crew projects during shoulder periods.
• Identify group blocks that backfill soft weekends.
• Respond to LNR programs in markets where you want share growth.

Bids capture more than just rate

Each bid records rate, inclusions, blackout logic, and comments. You can explain why your property is the right fit and highlight details that matter to that type of traveler.

On the buyer side, HotelHuddle presents these bids side by side, so they can evaluate total value, not just nightly price.

Only pay when you win

The commercial model is simple. Hotels pay a commission on accepted business that flows through HotelHuddle. There are no listing fees for opportunities that do not convert, and you keep control over which projects and programs you pursue.

For many hotels, that makes HotelHuddle feel like a targeted sales channel rather than yet another RFP inbox.
