Well… maybe not.

Here are 5 hotel websites with unique styles that might change how you look at web design in the hospitality industry. 

Ace Hotel 

Ace Hotel We really like the layout and feel of this site. Each destination moves when your mouse hovers over it, creating the appearance of physical pictures. It’s definitely something potential guests will remember.

Kimpton’s design is a little more typical of contemporary hotel sites. What makes theirs stand out though  is the use of a  pastel color palette combined with a clean, modern looking interface.

 Little Palm Island

An interesting trend in web design is the use of large, high quality pictures to form the basis of a site’s homepage. Little Palm Island exemplifies that style. Their site uses several different images that fill up the entire browser.

Charles Hotel

And the thin font used for their hotel’s name gives this site a memorable style.

Morgan’s Hotel Group
