What Is Virtual Reality (VR), and Why Does It Matter?
Today, people love using cool technology—especially when they travel. One of the most exciting tools is Virtual Reality (VR). It lets people “visit” places without leaving their homes. Now, small, special hotels called boutique hotels are using VR to show off their spaces and get more bookings.
Imagine being able to walk through a hotel room, see the pool, or visit the spa—without actually going there. That’s what VR can do!
Why Do Boutique Hotels Use VR?
VR helps people feel like they are already in the hotel. When guests can explore a room or a garden online, they feel more sure about booking. They can picture themselves enjoying the stay—and that makes them more likely to choose your hotel.
Meet Matterport – A VR Tool That Brings Hotels to Life
One great tool for this is called Matterport. It creates 3D tours that look just like real life. These tours help guests see everything: the lobby, the rooms, even the view outside! Matterport also helps hotels understand what people look at the most—so they can improve how they show their spaces.
Hotels using Matterport and VR are seeing more bookings and happier guests.
📸 360-Degree Photos Make It Even Better
Another cool thing boutique hotels are using is 360-degree photos. These pictures let people look all around a room—up, down, left, and right! It’s like being inside the space.
These photos are fun and easy to use. Guests spend more time on your website when they can explore like this. And when people stay longer, they’re more likely to book.
🎯 Help Your Hotel Stand Out
Using VR and 360 photos isn’t just about looking good. It’s a smart way to:
-
Show guests what makes your hotel special
-
Build trust with people before they book
-
Give a better online experience than your competitors
Boutique hotels that use these tools are winning more bookings and growing faster.
