Show your guests what makes your hotel special even before they book or arrive. Invite them on an interactive and virtual hotel journey through the premises, through the rooms and through the wellness area. Let them experience from home how inviting the ambience of your hotel is and how comfortable they can feel in your hotel: Virtual reality for hotels is more than just a video tour; VR for hotels is the cost-effective innovation to welcome potential hotel guests interactively and virtually in advance, facilitate bookings and increase conversion rates and sales.
You never know what you’re going to get! Just as Forrest Gump feels when opening a new box of chocolates for the first time, so do many (potential) guests who want to book a hotel: How big is the hotel and what areas are there? Do I like the style and is the furnishing modern or rather cozy? Will I feel comfortable in my hotel room? Can I really relax in the wellness area or is it just a simple indoor pool with no atmosphere? And how extensive is the breakfast or the buffet in the evening?
In most cases, guests do not decide spontaneously whether to book a hotel: they often sleep on it one more night, often look at the pictures again and again (if they want to take the time at all), often discuss it again with family or friends. No wonder – after all, you want to get the atmosphere and performance you expect for your money.
With our high-quality, innovative 360° tours for hotels, your guests get an excellent impression of the hotel complex and the different rooms. They can “walk” through your hotel from home, interactively decide for themselves what they want to see and let the ambience take effect on them. The special thing about our service: We make it possible for the hotel manager to greet your guests through virtual reality at the entrance, the restaurant manager to make a recommendation and the bar manager to suggest a cocktail – as if the guests were already there and only had to enter.
With VR or virtual reality for hotels, you can build up a trusting relationship with potential guests before they book, make their decision easier and at the same time encourage spontaneous bookings – after all, they now know exactly what to expect, whether they will feel comfortable and whether the price-performance ratio matches their requirements.
Virtual VR tours for hotels increase trust in you and your services. If guests know what to expect, they are more likely to book - and that is exactly the goal, because that is the only way to increase your sales. Around360 ensures that the ambience, benefits and amenities of your hotel are perfectly and attractively presented.
Potential hotel guests can view your hotel from anywhere using virtual reality - regardless of whether they are lying on the couch at home, going for a walk or sitting in the café around the corner. Instead of dwelling on images and text, they experience your hotel in motion, i.e. in dynamic movement, and can interact directly via buttons, booking options or arrows.
Did you know that nowadays, booking portals such as Check24 or holidaycheck are no longer used to actively search for specific hotels, even though they would perfectly match the guest's requirements? With VR tours for hotels, you can reach your target group without these detours, but stand out directly in online media such as Facebook or Instagram.
Virtual reality tours allow you to stand out from the competition with little effort. You therefore have a clear competitive advantage through the use of VR technology - not least because you present your hotel as modern and innovative. For many guests today, this is an important aspect of the booking process.
VR-based training and immersive learning optimize your employees' learning experience and reduce costs.
Virtual and interactive experiences through virtual reality increase the interest of potential guests by up to 87%: Not only do they stay longer on the hotel website, but they also feel taken seriously and “picked up” before they have even set foot in your hotel. Although moving images and videos are still popular, virtual reality now offers much better and more innovative ways of reaching potential hotel guests. In times of TikTok, YouTube and Reels, hotels should use the various aspects of VR technology to attract and retain the attention of potential guests. Interactive virtual reality tours for hotels allow you to do just that: your hotel invites your guests to feel welcome, interact and communicate digitally with your hotel in advance – and motivate them to book.
This virtual guest journey not only benefits the guest, but also you as the hotelier: as soon as the guest particularly likes a room, they can book it directly and interactively – without any detours. Would he then like to reserve a table for two in the hotel restaurant or book the tennis court for an hour during his hotel stay? No problem: our interactive VR technology for hotels makes it easy. Virtual reality videos for hotels therefore also optimize the general booking process for you as a hotelier: less effort, lower costs, more transparency – and more engagement and conversion rate (increase of up to 25%) for your website, which is also reflected in the Google ranking and general popularity.
As you can see, as a hotel that wants to move with the times, there’s no getting around virtual reality. Large hotel chains such as Marriott, Best Western, Hilton Hotels and other popular brands in the hotel industry are already generating high revenues solely through the implementation of virtual reality tours and improved hospitality management.

“Around360 is a great way to greatly improve your visibility on Google. It gives the guest a detailed insight into the entire guest room and, if desired, into the kitchen. This achieves a high level of transparency and credibility. Guests can also click on selected items, such as the menu, which is then displayed in the virtual room. This is also a very impressive way to improve the website. With the increased guest frequency, the one-off costs can be recouped very quickly. Therefore, a very clear recommendation!”

Virtual tours are interactive representations of real places or companies that allow people to explore these places digitally as if they were physically there. Especially for hotels, virtual tours are a great way to gain more visibility, attention, customers and engagement.
Virtual tours generally work as follows:
Users or (potential) customers can move through the virtual environment, explore different areas, view details or products and, if necessary, call up additional information interactively without having to be physically present.
The time it takes to create a virtual tour depends on the size of the hotel and the complexity of the tour, but can usually be completed within a few days to weeks.
Virtual tours can be easily integrated into a hotel’s website using embed codes or made accessible via special landing pages and links.
Of course: almost anything is possible that you wish for or that ensures increased customer engagement. Images, videos, texts, iFrames, quizzes, links, buttons, redirects… We will be happy to advise you on which options make sense for your company.
Of course, we can also create the virtual tour in several languages.
Of course, the engagement and conversion rate that happens through virtual tours on websites can also be measured on demand. On request, we use for example Google Analytics or our own analysis options in hosting so that you can transparently track how customers react to the new technology.
Discretion is our top priority: We stay in the background as far as possible and take care not to disrupt work processes.
Unfortunately, there is no general answer to this question. Basically, we start with a Dacia and end up with a Rolls Royce. Depending on the company, size, requirements, length and interactive elements, the costs for a virtual tour can vary accordingly.
It is also possible to expand, update or optimize our virtual 360° tours at any time.
