Nivan Hotels: Building a 100% digital multi-prop group from anywhere

OPERATIONS

Nivan Hotels GmbH is a fully digital hospitality group founded by martial artist–turned–hotelier Raif Özbek. What began as eight rooms above a dojo has grown into several properties with 130 beds — all powered by automation, self-service technology, and Cloudbeds at the core.

Why it matters: Cloudbeds helped Nivan Hotels eliminate manual work, expand visibility beyond a single OTA, and run a lean, scalable operation managed from anywhere in the world.

By automating check-in, communications, distribution, and reporting, Cloudbeds gave Nivan Hotels the infrastructure to scale a 100% digital concept while keeping operations incredibly lightweight.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Raif needed a platform that would free him from manual tasks, diversify distribution beyond a single OTA, support contactless operations, and allow him to run and scale his business remotely.

Expand distribution: Increase visibility across global OTAs and enable direct bookings without increasing workload.
Automate communication and check-in: Replace time-consuming manual messaging with automated workflows that support a fully contactless guest journey.
Build a scalable operation: Run multiple properties with a small team, supported by intuitive systems and fast onboarding.
