SiteMinder Launches 20th Anniversary Year with Major Sweep at 2026 HotelTechAwards

SiteMinder, the world’s leading hotel guest acquisition and revenue platform, has dominated the 2026 HotelTechAwards as it celebrates 20 years as an industry pioneer. 

Backed by over 50,000 customers globally, the hotel technology leader has secured the ‘Hotelier’s Choice Award’ for the fifth consecutive year and the title of ‘Best Hotel eCommerce Platform’ for the fourth straight year. The company has also achieved the top honours in the categories of ‘Best Channel Manager’, ‘Best Booking Engine’, ‘Best Hotel Metasearch Management Software’ and ‘Best Hotel Website Design’, highlighting the platform’s full range of integrated capabilities that drive hotel demand. 

Additionally, SiteMinder earned second place in ‘Rate Shopping & Market Intelligence’, for the AI-driven insights that enable hotels to optimise their revenue in real-time, while Little Hotelier, the company’s all-in-one property management system for small accommodation providers, earned second place in ‘Best Hotel Management System’.

“Not only do these awards show that our customers deeply value having one unified solution that helps them generate booking demand proactively, they also reflect the unwavering trust they place in us as an industry leader,” says Leah Rankin, SiteMinder’s Chief Product Officer. “As we mark our 20th anniversary, that trust inspires us to continue to push boundaries and redefine what’s possible for hotels worldwide, especially in an era of rapid industry transformation.” 

SiteMinder is the only platform that unifies business intelligence, integrated distribution and revenue management into one seamless experience. Founded in 2006, the company processes more than 130 million hotel reservations annually – representing over US$55 billion (A$85 billion) in revenue – and is supported by the industry’s largest ecosystem of over 2,350 connectivity and expert partners. 

“Winning a HotelTechAward is one of the toughest achievements in hospitality technology because it requires sustained excellence, not just one standout moment,” says Jordan Hollander, CEO of HotelTechReport.com. “The awards are grounded in verified hotelier feedback and objective performance data, making them a true reflection of what works in the real world. SiteMinder’s continued success across multiple mission-critical categories underscores its unique role in the hotel tech ecosystem, powering demand, distribution and revenue at a scale few platforms in the world can match.” 

Reflecting on the value of SiteMinder’s guest acquisition and revenue management capabilities, Leon Wood, Head of Accommodation at hotel group Waymark Hotels in Queensland, Australia, says: “SiteMinder has become an indispensable platform in the management of our accommodation business. Distribution is exceptionally reliable, maintaining seamless connections to a wide range of OTAs and ensuring our inventory and rates are distributed accurately across all channels. This alone saves a significant amount of time each week and reduces the risk of costly manual errors. The rate shopping functionality delivers quick competitor comparisons and deep market insights, giving us confidence in pricing decisions and helping us remain competitive, even in volatile conditions. It’s for any operator looking for a professional, scalable and proven solution.” 

The HotelTechAwards is the only data-driven awards program that recognises the world’s best accommodation software. Winners are determined through hotel customer feedback and more than 100,000 proprietary data signals. During this year’s awards period, more than 16,000 new product reviews were written and verified.
