Hotel Matchmakers

Hotel Matchmakers

The reservations engine of Attitude Hotels, the world’s only gay-and-lesbian-oriented lodging brand, has just rolled out another revolutionary first: the hospitality world’s first “matchmaking” function. Guests who book through www.AttitudeHotels.com have the option of posting their profiles and stay dates, which can then be accessed by other guests or even interested locals.

When booking a room, guests will be asked if they’d like their visit, including arrival and departure dates, to be posted on the section of the Attitude Hotels web site called “Who’s At the Hotel?” By checking off “Yes, display my visit,” guests can make their stay dates and hotel available for search, in addition to links to their existing profiles on social networking sites such as MySpace, Facebook and GayRomeo. Any visitor to www.attitudehotels.com can then access this information by searching according to individual property and month. Designed in strict accordance with privacy protection laws, the function was developed by the German company TourOnline, specialists in computer programming for the tourism trade.
