Best Framer templates for hotels and stays

A guest who finds a small hotel through search wants dates, a rate and a room before they read anything else. If the hotel's own site makes that hard, they book through a booking site and the hotel pays the commission.

This is a short round-up for small hotels, guesthouses, B&Bs and boutique stays that want a Framer site.

What a small hotel site actually needs

  1. A way to book on the first screen. Dates, guests and a Book button that goes to your booking engine.
  2. A page per room. Size, sleeps, the rate and the photos.
  3. Reasons to book direct. Breakfast, a better rate, a late checkout, whatever you offer.
  4. The rest of the stay. Dining, offers, reviews and an FAQ.

Our pick: Casa Tarde

Casa Tarde is the getsites template built for small hotels that book direct. The booking bar sits on the first screen under the headline.
