Hotel Treats is how the most fabulous hotels in the world sell gift vouchers and experiences online. We create beautifully branded online shops for hotels to sell spa treatments, dining experiences, romantic getaways and everything in between. These are bought by local residents looking for Instagram-worthy experiences as well as guests, pre-arrival. We also operate our own marketplace, aggregating services from each of our clients.
