Spotnana, a travel technology platform, announced a direct integration with the UK’s largest hotel chain, Premier Inn. The partnership, said the announcement, provides Spotnana’s TMC partners full access to Premier Inn’s portfolio of over 900 hotels across the UK, Germany and Ireland, including flexible rates, self-service modifications and travel ancillaries.
By connecting directly to Premier Inn’s latest API, said the announcement, Spotnana’s TMC partners can now offer their corporate clients access to negotiated rates and non-flex saver options that deliver significant savings. Travelers, said the announcement, benefit from a consumer-grade user experience with self-service exchanges and cancellations, while travel agents can manage global servicing requests seamlessly through Spotnana’s agent desktop.
Additional benefits for travelers include:
• Flexible payment options — access to both pre-paid and pay-at-property rates, including Premier Inn’s most flexible option, which allows for free cancellations and full refunds until arrival day.
• Ancillary purchases — the ability to purchase extras such as breakfast directly within the booking workflow.
• Enhanced imagery — detailed property and room imagery providing transparent views of accommodations.
Tim Sleep, director of sales and distribution at Premier Inn, said, “We are unlocking more affordable hotel options for corporate travelers via Spotnana’s vast TMC partner network through this direct integration.” By partnering with Spotnana, he said, “we are putting more power in the hands of corporate travelers, enabling them to browse, book, pay and modify their own hotel reservations effortlessly.”
Bill Brindle, executive vice president of content and distribution at Spotnana, said, “Our goal is to make content fragmentation a concern of the past by building deep direct connections to the world’s largest travel providers, reinforcing Spotnana’s commitment to delivering better experiences for travelers, agents and travel buyers alike.” Developing this deep integration with Premier Inn, he said, “provides comprehensive inventory and flexible rates that offer a fundamentally better experience for the budget-conscious corporate traveler.”
