Overview
Rom Suites is an Israeli luxury boutique hotel that relied entirely on third-party OTA platforms (Booking.com, Airbnb) with no direct booking capability. Required a brand-first hospitality website with high-res suite showcase galleries, integrated availability calendar with OTA iCal sync, WPML bilingual EN/HE routing, and RTL Hebrew layout to establish a direct reservation channel.
A luxury suite hotel was operating entirely through third-party booking platforms (Booking.com, Airbnb) with no direct booking capability, no brand presence online, and no way to capture direct revenue without paying commission.
Brand-first hospitality website: luxury suite showcase pages with high-res gallery, integrated availability calendar, direct booking integration, WPML bilingual EN/HE routing, and RTL Hebrew layout — designed to drive direct reservations.
Challenge
Key constraints: hotel booking plugin required custom UI styling to match luxury brand aesthetic; high-resolution suite photography needed WebP delivery pipeline maintaining visual quality at fast load; WPML multilingual RTL layout required precise Hebrew font engineering throughout booking flow; iCal sync with OTA platforms was critical to prevent double-bookings during direct channel launch.
- Hotel had relied on third-party OTA platforms — establishing a direct booking flow required hotel booking plugin integration that matched the brand aesthetic without off-the-shelf UI
- Suite photography was high-resolution but unoptimized — image delivery pipeline needed to maintain luxury visual quality without impacting page load
- Multilingual RTL layout required precise Hebrew font and direction engineering throughout booking flow and room descriptions
- Availability calendar had to sync with OTA platforms to avoid double-bookings during direct channel ramp-up
