Partners News Dublin, Ireland – April 29, 2026 – HotelMinder – a trusted hospitality resource offering unbiased ranking of operational solutions through the Tech Index and a network of hotel industry experts via Lobby – is pleased to welcome Lighthouse – the commercial operating system for the travel and hospitality industry – as a HotelMinder Preferred Partner. Lighthouse joins HotelMinder’s growing commercial strategy technology category, which includes solutions that support revenue optimization, market intelligence and demand forecasting.
In a highly competitive travel marketplace with increasingly compressed booking windows and shifting demand patterns, commercial teams require more sophisticated technology to accurately inform pricing, distribution and forecasting decisions. Lighthouse's real-time market intelligence and revenue insights have become a core component of the modern hotel tech stack. The partnership gives hoteliers exploring revenue and market intelligence solutions greater visibility into Lighthouse's tools, designed to help them interpret demand signals, optimize pricing strategies and drive revenue.
“In recent years, commercial strategy solutions have become one of the fastest-growing areas of hotel technology investment,” said Benjamin Verot, Founder at HotelMinder. “Our goal is to help hoteliers more easily navigate the complexity of this important category of solutions, as the results that they generate are integral for the long-term financial success of all types and sizes of hotels. Lighthouse’s commercial intelligence solution has been proven to have an incredible impact on revenue performance, so being able to offer their solution to our hotel users is a big win for us.”
"Hotels are sitting on more market data than ever, but turning it into fast, confident decisions remains the real challenge," said Bill Daviau, VP of Strategic Accounts and Partnerships at Lighthouse. "With commercial teams increasingly working in lockstep, revenue management, sales and marketing need a shared view of market dynamics to respond quickly to changes in demand. Partnering with HotelMinder connects us with hoteliers who are actively investing in that kind of commercial alignment."
With the addition of Lighthouse as a Preferred Partner, HotelMinder continues expanding the range of technologies available on its platform to help hoteliers evaluate the operational solutions shaping modern hotel performance.
