Imagine never seeing “Sold Out” again when booking your event hotel room.
At GPJ, we’re always evolving how we support our clients—and housing is a huge part of that. We know attendees expect a seamless, intuitive booking experience, while planners need flexibility, visibility, and control. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our new partnership with HotelMap.
When we explored platforms, HotelMap stood out for its adaptability, global functionality, and thoughtful features. Together, we’re creating custom solutions to deliver smarter, faster, and more sustainable housing experiences at scale.
Why this changes everything for events
HotelMap simplifies event accommodation by removing traditional barriers like early booking deadlines and financial risk. Attendees can reserve rooms up until the start of the event without added pressure or penalties, creating a more relaxed and accessible booking experience.
The platform is designed for ease of use across devices, with interactive maps that make searching and managing hotel options straightforward for both individuals and groups. Its Group Booking App supports personalized booking journeys, while its infrastructure supports a truly global audience—offering access to over 600,000 hotels in 34 languages and 147 currencies.
Behind the scenes, HotelMap’s AI assistant, Magee, quietly manages back-end logistics like contract verification and process automation, allowing housing teams to shift their focus to strategic planning and attendee service.
Data privacy and compliance are foundational, with end-to-end encryption and adherence to global data protection standards. Sustainability is also integrated into the booking process through HotelMap Green, which promotes eco-friendly hotel options and allows planners to track sustainability metrics throughout the event lifecycle.
Real results that speak for themselves
For one of our first clients integrating HotelMap:
- 71,000+ room nights booked across 78 hotels
- Number of reservations booked post cut off date doubled with HotelMap
- 11% increase in attendees booking within the event block compared to the previous year
And our clients say:
“Worlds of difference from what we used before.”
“Live bookings without sold out messaging is a key benefit.”
“LOVE the attendee experience.”
“The back-end capabilities are amazing.”
What’s next?
This partnership is helping us raise the bar for housing at events of every scale—and we’re just getting started. As attendee expectations evolve, so will our solutions. Because at GPJ, experience is everything.
