“This has been an incredible journey. Last year, we surpassed 1,000,000 rooms on our system and continue to add tens of thousands of new rooms every week. With this new funding, we want to triple down on innovation and continue to transform the hospitality industry to help hoteliers and hosts meet the needs of the next generation of travelers,” says Adam Harris, CEO and Co-Founder.

Richard Castle, COO and Co-Founder, adds: “Cloudbeds is just getting started. Since the beginning, we’ve broken away from the traditional definitions of PMS, Channel Manager, RMS, Analytics, and Booking Engine. Hoteliers need a complete solution that provides the insights and flexibility to better understand their property and guests, and ultimately deliver a better guest experience.”
