UnderTheDoormat
|
UnderTheDoormat Group is a prop-tech company that empowers property owners, portfolio owners and property companies to generate higher income through the short-term rental industry. Our mission is to help every property fulfil its potential every day, by to connecting them with quality guests through our 3 products.Firstly, we operate short termrentals for those who don’t have the capabilities - UnderTheDoormat London has 300 units across the city, including the flagship aparthotel 3 Sloane Gardens operated on behalf of Cadogan Estate. Secondly, we distribute for providers who can provide quality hospitality, but not distribution. The tech landscape in short term rentals is hugely fragmented, and our B2B SaaS platform Hospiria integrates the stack so property companies and managers have a ready-made platform so they can focus on what they’re good at - hosting guests. And finally, our TrustedStays platform is the world’s first platform which connects professional home rentals with Government and Corporate procurement. Until now, short-term rentals haven’t been able to enter this world, and we’re connecting it.All three arms enable owners to earn higher return from short term accommodation. | Dec 13, 2023 |
