Cloudbeds empowers La Palmilla’s contactless vision and elevates its group and event stays

Spanish-inspired luxury meets modern hospitality at La Palmilla Boutique Resort, nestled in the heart of Glen Rose, Texas. Opened in June 2023, the resort's unique units and bedrooms immerse guests in exquisite Spanish Colonial design, offering a uniquely personalized experience for every guest stay, event, wedding, or retreat.

Why it matters: Wanting to offer a contactless guest experience, La Palmilla needed an easy-to-use solution that could facilitate this. And as a large portion of their profits come from events — weddings, retreats, and corporate events — group bookings functionality was especially crucial.

La Palmilla’s experience with Cloudbeds has been instrumental in achieving its vision of modern contactless hospitality. From smooth group bookings to contactless guest experiences, Cloudbeds continues to impress La Palmilla's owners.

Top 3 Core Objectives: La Palmilla's owners recognized the importance of sourcing the right hospitality platform to meet the unique needs of the property.

Modern guest experience: La Palmilla wanted to offer its guests a contactless guest journey, from digital liability waivers post-booking and digital check-ins, to thoughtful contact post-stay
Group booking functionality: As a large portion of La Palmilla's profits come from events — weddings, retreats, and corporate events — group bookings functionality was especially crucial.
Ease of use: The team at La Palmilla wanted a solution that was intuitive and easy to train on, especially for their mostly-remote staff.
