Le Petit Lobbyhotel websites

A website that makes guests book with you, not on the platforms

A 3-minute form (in French, answers in English are welcome). Free, no commitment, no sales call.

What the 3 mock-ups look like

Three genuinely different proposals, with your photos

Here are the ones prepared for Studios Cenac Riviera in Nice. Same texts, same photos: each proposal has its own palette, typography and layout. Click, scroll, open the rooms: these are real websites.

Demo mock-ups: booking and contact links are disabled.

What your website includes

Designed for one thing: getting your guests to book

Your photos, big

Full-width opening photo, a carousel for every room, full-screen gallery. Photos are what make people book.

Booking in two clicks

Guests pick their dates in a calendar and land on your booking engine, commission-free. Keep your current software if you are under contract.

Several languages

French, English and your guests’ languages: texts rewritten for each language, not translated word for word.

Perfect on a phone

A booking bar always in view on mobile, light pages that load fast, even on 4G.

A page for every room

Photos, size, beds, starting price: each room has its own page, which ranks better on Google.

Answers for guests, 24/7

With Confort and Premium, an assistant answers your guests’ questions on WhatsApp and by email, in their language, and hands over to you when needed.

Friends of ours

Photos looking a bit dated? We know just the person.

Candice is the eye behind Coup de Foodre and Heightblue. She has been testing hotels and restaurants for years, and she comes to you to shoot what makes people book: the rooms, the pool in the early morning, breakfast, even drone views. Photos for the website, short videos for Instagram and TikTok.

She has already shot for Château Saint Roux and Hôtel du Parc Hardelot.

Frequently asked questions

What people ask me most

Are the mock-ups really free?

Yes. You receive 3 mock-ups of your future website, made with your texts and photos. If none of them suits you, we leave it there, at no cost and with no pushy follow-ups.

What does the subscription pay for?

It pays for what keeps the website alive: hosting, domain name, security and backups, and above all your changes. No admin panel to learn: you write what you want changed and it is done within 48 h. Every month, a short report shows what the website brought in.

Why is it cheaper than an agency?

Every website is built on the same technical foundation, proven and maintained once for all. The time goes into what shows: your identity, your texts, your photos.

Do I need to supply photos or texts?

No. I start from the texts and photos on your current website. If you have better photos, you can send them later.

I am under contract with booking software.

No problem: the new website connects to your current engine. You can switch later if you wish.

I am already on Booking.com and Airbnb.

You stay there. The website is there so that some of your guests book directly with you, commission-free. One extra direct booking a month is often enough to cover the subscription.

Who owns the website and the domain name?

You do. The domain stays in your name, and your texts and photos remain yours.

Do I need to plan meetings?

No. Everything happens by email and online: you comment directly on the mock-up, at your own pace.

Curious to see what yours would look like?

Three minutes for the form, and you receive your 3 mock-ups by email. Free and no commitment.
