Cvent and Choice Hotels International have announced the global rollout of Cvent Instant Book across Choice’s portfolio of franchised hotels. The new direct booking integration, which will be available in Q3, offers a simplified booking experience for meeting planners to easily find and book guestroom blocks online at Choice Hotels properties. Hotels joining the Choice distribution engine after the acquisition of Radisson Hotels Americas will gain access to Cvent Instant Book soon.
Planners can search, compare real-time rates and availability, and book rooms at Choice Hotels’ properties with just a few simple clicks, bypassing the request for proposal (RFP) process that is typically required for larger, more complex events. Embedding the technology into Choice Hotels booking platform also enables hoteliers to increase their visibility and attract more group business by showcasing its properties to Cvent’s extensive global network of event planners.
As a longtime Cvent customer, this announcement expands Choice’s use of Cvent technology to power its group and corporate travel business and reach a global planner audience. All Choice properties are listed on the Cvent Supplier Network, where planners go to find and book meeting and event venues. In addition, Choice will continue its Cvent Business Travel partnership.
