Up Hotel Agency, a leading digital marketing firm specialising in the hotel industry, has unveiled Chameleon, an AI-driven tool designed to help small and independent hotels compete with large brands and online travel agencies (OTAs). Chameleon offers personalised, dynamic website experiences aimed at increasing direct bookings and enhancing guest engagement.
The tool’s launch comes at a time when independent hotels are facing increasing pressure from larger competitors with bigger budgets and more advanced booking platforms. Chameleon, developed by the award-winning Up Hotel Agency, aims to level the playing field by offering independent hoteliers the ability to customise their websites based on user behaviour, ultimately improving conversion rates.
An AI-Powered Revolution in Hotel Websites
Chameleon uses cutting-edge artificial intelligence, pattern recognition, and site analytics to tailor each visitor’s experience. The tool automatically adjusts website content in real time, providing a highly personalised journey that simplifies the booking process and encourages direct reservations. From recognising a visitor’s search history to recommending relevant pages, Chameleon brings a new level of interactivity and user-centric design to hotel websites.
“With Chameleon, we’ve created an affordable, intuitive platform that allows independent hotels to offer the same level of sophistication and personalisation as major hotel chains,” said Craig Stone, CEO of Up Hotel Agency. “This technology enables smaller properties to engage visitors in a meaningful way, increasing the likelihood of direct bookings while maintaining a strong brand presence.”
Key Features Designed to Boost Engagement and Conversions
Chameleon offers several advanced features aimed at streamlining the user experience and driving more bookings. These include:
Auto-Booking Search: This feature remembers a visitor’s previous search data and pre-populates fields, making it easier and faster for guests to find what they’re looking for.
Smart Room Order: Highlights the most viewed room types, providing potential guests with popular options based on previous site activity.
Currency Conversion: Displays pricing in the visitor’s native currency using real-time exchange rates, offering transparency and convenience.
Suggested Page Section: Recommends relevant pages based on the user’s journey and conversion path, guiding visitors to the information they need.
Seasonal Media: Automatically updates visuals and messaging to reflect seasonal promotions, such as holiday specials or seasonal packages.
Additionally, Chameleon’s built-in upselling capabilities promote room upgrades, special offers, and additional services, using strategically placed pop-ups and intent-based messaging to boost engagement.
Privacy-First and GDPR Compliant
Recognising the importance of data privacy, Chameleon is designed with compliance in mind. Visitor data is stored directly in the user’s browser, ensuring that hoteliers remain GDPR compliant while also respecting guest privacy.
For independent hotels, Chameleon represents a powerful tool to not only compete with larger chains but also to create more engaging, efficient, and guest-centric websites.
“Chameleon helps hotels deliver an experience that feels as personal as their service,” Stone added. “In today’s competitive market, that’s a game-changer.”
