HotelCard

HotelCard AG operates a membership card and hotel booking platform in Switzerland. Members pay an annual subscription, and the card gives discounts of up to 50% at about 500 partner hotels in Switzerland and neighbouring regions, plus discounts on excursion destinations such as trains, cable cars and museums.

According to the website, the company earns its revenue only from HotelCard subscriptions and charges partner hotels no booking commission. Customers are members who travel in Switzerland and nearby areas, and partners are mainly family-run and independent hotels that aim to fill rooms in the low season.

The website states the company is based in Zürich and was founded as a concept in 2009 at a family-run hotel in the Lower Engadine. It describes a new phase from early 2020 with investment in booking technology and a renewed business model. The website lists a Hotel Partnership Manager job in Zürich at 50-60%.
