Crew lands at 02:00. Rooms already confirmed.

Hotels Worldwide puts aviation crew into confirmed rooms at AOG speed — any city, any hour — through a live booking portal backed by a 24/7 human desk. Or skip the portal entirely — email the request the way you always have. One request in, one audited invoice out.

The problem

Crew hotels are still run on phone calls, reply-all and hope.

The 02:00 scramble

A diversion or late reposition means your scheduler is phoning hotel front desks in a city nobody planned for. Corporate travel tools and OTAs don't answer at that hour — a crew desk has to.

Reply-all is not an ops system

A single layover generates dozens of emails: the request, the quotes, the changes, the confirmations. Nobody can see status at a glance, and the 03:00 crew change is buried in someone's inbox.

Folio roulette

Forty folios arrive weeks later carrying per-diem meal packages, per-head incidentals and resort fees nobody agreed to. Nobody has time to challenge a $38 breakfast line forty times — so finance quietly pays it.

The ops centre · staffed around the clock

We're not selling you software. We're the desk that runs it.

Every request that leaves your portal lands on a staffed operations floor — coordinators on phones and screens, negotiating rates, arranging late arrivals, chasing confirmations, auditing folios. The platform is how you reach us; the desk is what you're actually buying.

  • A named coordinator picks up every booking — not a queue, not a bot
  • Phone, WhatsApp and email answered 24/7 — including the 03:00 diversion
  • The desk works inside the same system your portal talks to — one live state, no handoffs
ops.hotelswide.com — the desk's live booking board
The operations desk's own screen — live booking board with check-ins, in-house crews and pending requests

The desk's own radar: arrivals, in-house crews and pending requests — the same records your portal shows you, worked by people.

The platform — real screens, live today

Software at the front. A trained crew desk behind every button.

These are actual screens from the client portal our operation runs on — not concept art.

Request board — every crew booking with live status, from Pending desk to Confirmed with voucher issued

The request board: every booking your team has in flight, with live status from our desk — pending, options sent, chosen, confirmed with voucher, completed.

Every booking, accountable

A lifecycle, not an email thread

Open any booking and see exactly where it stands — request transmitted, desk arranging, options sent, hotel confirmed, voucher issued, stay completed. Date changes, crew swaps and cancellations run as tracked change-requests that alert our desk instantly.

  • Mission data — flight, tail, captain, meal plan — on the booking itself
  • Change requests with their own status, never lost in an inbox
  • Crew check in on branded vouchers; a virtual card covers agreed extras

Three steps and it's with our desk

Destination, stay details, transmit. Your ops team picks a city or airport — or leaves the choice to us and the desk proposes suitable properties. Behind the scenes our RFQ engine competes rates across a global hotel network and negotiates per hotel, in writing.

  • Search by country, city or ICAO — vetted crew-friendly properties
  • Meal plans, early check-in and late check-out handled up front
  • Negotiated options come back side-by-side with one-click confirm

Already have your own systems?

No portal required. Your inbox already works here.

Plenty of our clients never log in anywhere. Their ops team sends the crew request the way they always have — a plain email to our desk — and keeps working out of their own scheduling tools. Behind the scenes, that email becomes the same tracked booking as a portal request: same coordinators, same negotiated options, same vouchers, same audited single invoice.

  • Email, phone or WhatsApp in — the desk logs it into the system for you
  • Options come back by reply — confirm with a one-line answer
  • Nothing to install, nobody to retrain — your workflow stays exactly as it is
  • Switch on the portal later (or never) — both doors lead to the same desk

Portal for teams who want the live board. Email for teams who don't. Either way, every booking is tracked, negotiated and audited the same.

Billing protection

Your crew checks in under our terms — issued with every booking.

Blanket, per-diem and per-head meal charges are rejected at booking. Meals are billed on what the crew actually consumes, extras sit inside the budget you set, and every folio is audited line-by-line by our accounts team before anything reaches your finance team. You settle one consolidated invoice on credit terms, not forty folios in five currencies — and anything that shouldn't be there, we take up with the hotel, not you.

What lands on your invoice — and what never does
Room and agreed inclusions: yes. Meals the crew actually had, within your budget: yes. Blanket meal packages, per-head incidentals, surprise fees: struck before you ever see them.
Backed by our service agreement with every hotel — its terms are ours to enforce, so you don't have to
How it works

From crew request to audited invoice in four moves.

Submit the crew request

Portal, plain email or the 24/7 desk — city, dates, crew count — logged as a tracked booking in minutes, whichever door you use.

We compete the market

Our RFQ engine quotes the global hotel network; you pick from negotiated options and confirm in one click.

Crew check in on vouchers

Each crew member carries a branded voucher; any change runs as a status-tracked change-request, not phone tag.

You pay one audited invoice

Every folio is checked line-by-line against the signed hotel agreement, then consolidated into a single invoice on credit terms.

Coverage

Crew accommodation, anywhere the aircraft goes.

We book any hotel, in any city, worldwide — the same global inventory the largest crew programmes run on. Coverage is never the constraint; what happens after the booking is. Below: the crew-tested core where our coordinators hold written rates — send the request for anywhere else.

Common questions

Asked on every first call

Do we have to use the booking portal?

No. Many clients simply email their crew request to our 24/7 desk the way they always have. The desk logs it into the same tracked system, sends negotiated options by reply, and you confirm with a one-line answer.

How fast can crew rooms be confirmed?

Same day, at AOG urgency, worldwide — including 02:00 diversions. The operations desk is staffed by humans around the clock on phone, WhatsApp and email.

How does billing work?

Every booking is backed by our service agreement with the hotel. For you that means: meals billed on actual consumption only — no blanket per-diem or per-head charges — every folio audited line-by-line by our accounts team, and one consolidated invoice on credit terms. If something shouldn't be on the folio, we take it up with the hotel; it never becomes your problem.

Do you provide HOTAC services?

Yes — HOTAC (hotel accommodation for aircrew) is our core business. Whether your ops team calls it HOTAC, crew accommodation or layover management, it is the same service: we source and confirm the rooms, negotiate rates in writing, handle branded voucher check-in, audit every folio line by line and consolidate each trip into one invoice — 24/7, worldwide.
