Membership Agreement

by Indi Hotels

Step into the world of Indi Hotels, where we've crafted a membership agreement tailored to empower owner-operators like you to shine as local market leaders.

“Having run an independent hotel for many years, it is very easy to lose touch with the latest strategies and technology out there. I love being independent, but with the support of Indi Hotels in the background. If you are a hotel owner, join Indi Hotels and forget the chain brands. You will pay less in OTA commissions, your hotel will receive more direct bookings, you will see growth in overall revenue, and all without the compliance headaches and costs associated with joining a hotel chain.”

“Indi Hotels provided exceptional service and support from day one. Opening a new hotel is always a challenging time, so I was delighted that Indi Hotels were able to come on board pre-opening. They did everything that was asked and promised, plus a lot more on top. The website Indi Hotels provided is brilliant. It currently delivers two bookings for every OTA booking, keeping commissions at a minimum in these challenging times. I can’t recommend Indi Hotels highly enough, so if you need a break from a hotel chain or help with your own independent business, then you’d better call Indi Hotels!”.”
