Two Edinburgh hotels,one direct-booking site

The Place Hotel on York Place and The Inn Place on Cockburn Street were represented online by a single static page with no rooms, no story and no way to book direct. BYLT Media designed and built a full multi-page Next.js site for both hotels, wired direct booking into the RMS Cloud engine and built the conversion tracking stack end to end.

The brief

A Direct-Booking Website for Two Edinburgh Hotels

Delivered solely by BYLT Media, a complete website rebuild for The Place Hotels, a two-property hotel group in central Edinburgh. The previous site was a single static holding page from 2019 that could not show a room or take a booking. BYLT designed and built a multi-page Next.js site covering both The Place Hotel and The Inn Place, migrated the content from the existing WordPress install, wired direct booking into the RMS Cloud engine, and set up GA4 and Google Ads conversion tracking so bookings started, enquiries, phone calls and newsletter signups are measured end to end.

The challenge

What was in the way.

Two destination hotels in the heart of Edinburgh, The Place Hotel on York Place and The Inn Place on Cockburn Street, shared a single static one-page site built in 2019. It had no rooms, no imagery of either property, no story and no way to book. Guests who found the hotels online had no reason, and no route, to book direct.

  • A single static holding page from 2019 stood in for two distinct hotels
  • No rooms, no story and no reason to book direct on the old site
  • No booking capability of any kind, so the site could not take a direct booking
  • Two properties with different characters that one page could not tell apart
The approach

Both hotels now have a full website: rooms, story, imagery and a clear path to book direct through the RMS Cloud engine. Every meaningful action, from a booking started to a phone call, is tracked, and booking revenue is attributed to the hotel that earned it, giving the group a direct channel it owns and can measure.

  • Two hotels went from a shared one-page site to full multi-page websites
  • Direct booking wired into the RMS Cloud engine for both properties
  • Bookings started, enquiries, phone calls and newsletter signups tracked as conversions
  • Booking revenue attributed per hotel in GA4 and Google Ads

A static holding page with no rooms and no booking became a full hotel group homepage with navigation to both properties and direct booking.
