Company January 17, 2025

What a way to kick off 2025! For the fifth year in a row, hotelkit has claimed top honors at the HotelTechAwards – and honestly, we couldn’t be prouder. In a world where tech is constantly evolving, this kind of consistency speaks volumes. With over 2,603 hotel software companies on Hotel Tech Report, hotelkit proudly stands at the top in five key categories – an achievement shaped by 16,000+ verified client reviews and evaluated through 100,000+ data points.

Our winning categories

  • Best Staff Collaboration Software 
  • Best Housekeeping Software 
  • Best Employee Engagement Software 
  • Best Hotel Maintenance Software 
  • Best Places to work (6th place)

With five awards under our belt, hotelkit proudly holds the title of “Best Hotel Operations Platform of 2025”, proving hotelkit is the ultimate all-in-one solution for hotel teams worldwide. A Hotel Manager from a luxury hotel in Vienna (Austria) states:

“hotelkit has revolutionized our daily processes! The user-friendly platform, which is also available on mobile devices, enables seamless communication and great coordination.”

When we started this journey, our mission was clear: to simplify the everyday work of hotel teams. To enhance team communication, collaboration and streamline daily operations. Today, as we celebrate another triumphant year, this mission is stronger than ever.

“Starting a new year with this recognition is truly special, it reinforces our commitment to empowering hotel teams worldwide, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the support and feedback of our clients, who remain at the heart of everything we do.”

A data-driven win

The HotelTechAwards, often referred to as the “Grammys of Hotel Tech”, aren’t based on subjective opinions—they are driven by real data and authentic customer feedback. The HotelTechAwards are the industry’s only data-driven awards platform with winners determined not by a handful of judges or popularity votes but by product reviews from a global community of verified hotel technology users across more than 120 countries. It’s not just about being the best, it’s about staying the best. In an industry that’s evolving at lightning speed, hotelkit’s continued success reflects a stability and consistency that’s rare in the tech world. These awards don’t just validate our product—they reflect the trust and loyalty of our global hotel community. 

“With the highest traffic and engagement, largest selection of product and services, and highest quality data, Hotel Tech Report analyzes more than 100,000 data points to determine the best products in the market.”
