How much does a hotel website cost in Portugal?
The price depends on rooms, languages, booking engine and integrations — not the 'design' itself. We always estimate before starting, at €27/h + VAT.
What drives the price
Number of rooms and pages, languages, galleries, and whether there is an own booking engine or a channel-manager integration weigh far more than aesthetics.
Direct bookings vs commissions
A site with direct booking requests reduces dependence on OTAs like Booking, which charge a commission per night. At volume, the return justifies the investment.
Mandatory subscription
Sites on the ArqWeb CMS carry a monthly plan (from €19/mo) covering hosting, SSL, backups, security and maintenance hours.
01Do I need a booking engine?
Not always. Many small hotels start with a direct booking request form and add a full engine later, once volume justifies it.
02Does the site replace Booking?
It complements rather than replaces it. The goal is to capture, commission-free, the bookings from people who already know you, keeping OTAs for reach.
03How long does it take?
A brochure hotel site is usually ready in a few weeks, depending on how quickly content is provided.
