The project

A twelve-room townhouse hotel that now takes most bookings direct.

Identity & booking site

The brief

Hollis House is a twelve-room townhouse hotel run by the family that owns it. Almost every booking came through third-party sites, which took a large cut and showed the rooms next to chain hotels.

What we made

A warm, slightly old-fashioned identity with a modern booking site that is quicker than the big platforms.

  • A monogram, a wordmark and a sand and ink palette
  • Room pages with real dimensions, light and noise notes
  • A three-step booking flow that works one-handed
  • Key cards, menus and a welcome letter

What happened next

Within a year more than two thirds of bookings came direct, saving tens of thousands in fees. Guests mention the website in their reviews.

We used to hand a fifth of every booking to someone else. Now people book with us, and they arrive already knowing who we are.
