Maison
A luxury hotel landing page that tripled direct inquiries in the first month and eliminated OTA commission dependency. Designed and built in 7 days.
The Challenge
Maison Riviera is a boutique hotel on the French Riviera near Cannes. Thirty-two rooms, a private beach, a wine cellar, and a reputation built on word of mouth. Their problem was not occupancy, it was margin. Every booking through an OTA cost them 15 to 18 percent in commission. Their website was outdated, slow, and did not reflect the experience guests actually had when they arrived.
The Approach
A fully responsive marketing site that communicated luxury without saying the word. A hero with real photography, an inline booking inquiry form, room and suite listings with pricing, a curated experiences section covering the private beach, spa, dining, wine cellar, concierge and yacht charters, a guest testimonial carousel, a photo gallery, and a newsletter capture in the footer.
Warm, editorial typography with serif headings. A muted earth-tone palette that let the photography lead. The booking inquiry form sits directly in the hero so guests never have to search for it. Room cards show nightly rates and sizes upfront. In hospitality, the website is the lobby.
The Outcome
Direct inquiries tripled in the first month. Guests started referencing specific rooms and experiences from the website when they called to book. The OTA dependency dropped immediately. For a 32-room hotel paying 15 to 18 percent commission per booking, the site paid for itself within weeks.
"Guests started referencing specific rooms and experiences from the website when they called to book. Nikola transformed how people perceived our property before they even arrived. Direct inquiries tripled in the first month." Julien A., General Manager, Maison
