Hotel Website Design Prices
Fixed prices for hotel, B&B and guest house websites. A custom-designed hotel website starts from £2,400, a site with a connected booking engine and editable rooms and offers from £3,900, and hosting from £20 a month. Here is what each buys a hotel, what moves the quote and how it compares with booking-engine templates.
What a Hotel Website Costs With DigitalPod
Our prices are published and the same for every sector, because a guest house website takes the same design, build and care as any other business's. What differs is what the site must do, and for a hotel the dividing lines are how often rooms, rates and offers change and whether you sell anything beyond a room. A site with room pages, your booking engine embedded, offers, the area and policies fits within the starting price. Rooms and offers your team edits, and vouchers sold online, need the dashboard package.
The starting price buys a custom-designed site of up to around ten pages, designed from scratch around your photography and hand-coded so that room pages and the booking journey are fast on a phone. The website with admin dashboard adds a secure area and database where rooms, rates, offers, packages, events and the local guide are managed by your team and voucher sales are processed. Logo design is quoted together with the website, and the total is fixed before we begin.

Three Typical Hotels Website Projects
B&B or guest house replacing a template
A rebuild of a dated template for a small B&B: home, a page per room, booking engine embedded, the local area, the owners' story and directions with policies, built around new photography and with redirects from the old pages.
Independent hotel going direct
A hotel that wants fewer bookings through the platforms: booking engine integration, rooms and offers the team edits, restaurant pages, a weddings section, a local guide and reviews pulled through, with every old page redirected.
Hotel with events and vouchers
A venue selling as much as it books: weddings and events pages with enquiry forms and brochures, gift vouchers and dinner packages sold online, a gallery by space and a dashboard where the team manages all of it.
What the Starting Price Includes for Hotels
- A custom design built around your photography and your building, approved by you before any code is written.
- Up to around ten pages, typically home, rooms, offers, eat and drink, the area, gallery, about and contact with policies and accessibility.
- Your booking engine embedded, with a check-availability button on every room page and the total price shown as consumer law requires.
- Reviews from Google and Tripadvisor pulled through, with ratings and awards shown where you hold them.
- Mobile-first, fast-loading pages with the search engine foundations for "hotels in [town]" searches, hotel structured data and alignment with your Google Business Profile.
- Launch to managed cloud hosting from £20 a month, or the finished code handed over for you to host elsewhere.
What Changes the Price of a Hotel Website
- An admin dashboard for rooms, rates, offers, events and the local guide, which moves the project into the from £3,900 package.
- Booking engine and channel manager integration beyond a standard embed, such as live rates on room pages, quoted on scope.
- Gift vouchers, packages and experiences sold online, and brochure downloads with enquiry tracking for weddings, quoted individually.
- The number of room types, venues and languages, because international guests may need pages in more than one.
- Logo and brand design if you are opening or renaming, quoted alongside the website.
- Copywriting, photography and virtual tours, if you would like them arranged rather than supplied.
Every website is quoted individually, so the final figure depends on what your hotel actually needs. Our website design brief template helps you list those needs so that we can give you an accurate fixed price.
How Our Prices Compare for Hotels
Hotels are sold websites in two ways. Booking engine vendors offer a template site bundled with the engine, which ties the website to the engine so that changing one means losing the other, and shares the design with every other hotel on that platform. Hospitality marketing agencies sit at the other extreme, priced for groups rather than independents. Website builders can carry a small B&B, but the booking engine ends up as a widget in a box and the design and search work are left to you.
Full-service web agencies commonly quote £6,000 to £20,000 or more for a small business website, and experienced freelancers and small studios typically charge £2,000 to £6,000. Our hotel websites start from £2,400, or from £3,900 with a dashboard and vouchers, designed and built in-house at a fixed price, and the finished site, its design and its code are yours, which is worth setting against the commission paid on every platform booking. Our guide to how much a website costs in the UK compares every option.

How a Project Runs
- Your requirements. On a call, you tell us about your business, your customers and what the website needs to do, and we give you a fixed quotation.
- Logic and visuals. We plan the site structure and create visual mockups for your approval before anything is built.
- Development. We build the website, keep you updated and give you a realistic completion date.
- Testing and launch. You review the finished site on a test server, we refine it, and then we launch it or hand over the files.
Most websites take three to six weeks from brief to launch, provided the content is ready. Our guide to the website design process explains each stage, and the timescales guide shows what a typical schedule looks like.

Hotels Website Price Questions
Is £2,400 realistic for a hotel website?
For a B&B, a guest house or a small hotel, yes. The starting price covers a custom design around your photography, a page per room type, your booking engine embedded, offers, the local area, your story and a directions page with policies and accessibility. It rises if your team needs to edit rooms and offers, if you sell vouchers and packages online or if you have several venues, and we agree the figure before we start.
What does booking engine integration cost?
A standard embed of your booking engine, with a date picker on the home page and a check-availability button on every room page, is included in the starting price. Deeper work, such as live rates shown on room pages, promotion codes tied to offers or connecting the engine to Google's free booking links, is quoted on scope. The engine and channel manager subscriptions themselves remain your contracts with those providers.
Are there monthly fees?
From us, only hosting from £20 a month if you want it, which covers a managed cloud server, security updates and quick seasonal changes to offers and photographs. There is no licence fee for the website and no commission on bookings made through it. Your booking engine, channel manager and any voucher provider have their own fees, exactly as they do now, and the website's code can be moved elsewhere at any time.
What do weddings and events pages add to the price?
Usually little. Pages for each space with capacities, photographs, sample packages and an enquiry form are ordinary pages and fit within the package you already need, and we confirm it in the fixed quote. Brochure downloads with enquiry tracking, online deposits for events or a gallery of hundreds of images add to the scope and are quoted individually.
Can we pay around our opening or refurbishment?
Payment is a 50% deposit when the project starts and the remaining 50% when the site is complete and ready to launch, so for a new hotel the balance falls due as the first direct bookings arrive. Nothing else falls due afterwards except hosting if you want it, and the site, its design and its code are yours.
Our main prices page and FAQ cover payment terms, hosting and ownership in more detail. For what the website itself should include, see hotels website design, or startup hotels website design if you are launching a new business.
