Broaden your hotel’s B2B reach with RateHawk

With its curated network of travel advisors and focus on high-value, low-cancel bookings, RateHawk is quickly becoming a go-to distribution partner for hotels

As hotel marketers seek to diversify their B2B distribution strategies, RateHawk is emerging as a powerful platform worth watching. Built exclusively for travel advisors, tour operators, and corporate travel providers, RateHawk operates as a trade-only hotel booking channel—meaning it never sells directly to consumers. Since its launch in 2016, it has expanded rapidly across Europe and North America, offering access to over 2.5 million properties worldwide. For hotels, RateHawk represents an opportunity to reach high-value travelers through trusted advisor relationships—without cannibalizing direct business.
