HotelRunner was founded in 2011 by two colleagues and former managers from IBM. During their endless business travels, and enterprise projects, they realized a certain need and a gap in the industry. The majority of the accommodations in the world were offline and the travel tech market was incredibly fragmented. Thus, the vision of HotelRunner that has echoed to this day has been shaped: bringing the travel industry together and creating a bigger travel economy.<\/p>

The journey that started in a small flat with a core team has now turned into an acknowledged success story with 100+ team members in 5 cities and 4 countries. We have been recognized as a HotelRunner\u2019s technology and services have earned recognition from the industry\u2019s top players, becoming a Booking.com Premier Connectivity Partner, Expedia Preferred Connectivity Partner, Airbnb Preferred Software Partner, Agoda Strategic Partner, Oracle, Hotelbeds, trivago, and Google Hotel Ads strategic partner.
