Kayak, an online travel agency and metasearch engine company, is opening two additional branded hotels in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. They join their sister property in Miami Beach, Fla., as physical locations where Kayak can build and test new accommodation software. Life House will manage day-to-day operations at both properties.
“We’re reimagining hotel operations and the guest experience through technology. Adding more hotels to our portfolio accelerates our learning,” said Kayak CEO Steve Hafner. “Kayak's team has some of the brightest minds in the business, it's fun bringing our tech to the hospitality experience.”
Kayak Luna - Playa del Carmen and Kayak Sol - Playa del Carmen are available now for reservations and both properties offer rooftop pools, self check-in and communication capabilities directly with hotel staff through the Kayak app. Each has its own distinct design, look and feel. Kayak Luna is inspired by Playa del Carmen’s hidden nightlife. Kayak Sol is infused with Playa’s daytime energy. The properties are only one block apart and guests enjoy reciprocal access to amenities at both locations.
Kayak opened its first hotel, Kayak Miami Beach, in April 2021.
