About the project

A site for a mountain restaurant and hotel in the Carpathians. Atmospheric photography and calm motion sell the stay, and booking a table or a room takes a minute — on a phone too.

  • Room booking Check-in and check-out dates, guests and live availability.
  • Restaurant tables Pick a day, time and party size; confirmation arrives in Telegram.
  • Menu & events in a CMS The manager updates the menu and events without a developer.
  • Three languages Ukrainian, English and Polish versions for visitors.
01 · The brief

The Carpathian hotel paid aggregators 18% commission and took bookings by phone — after-hours requests simply disappeared.

02 · What we built

An atmospheric Astro site with online table and room booking, menu and events in Sanity (editors need no developer) in three languages. The motion and photos sell the Carpathians before check-in.

  1. Before Bookings were taken by phone, and out of hours requests got lost.

    After Online table and room booking on the site, from a phone too.

  2. Before Part of the bookings went through aggregators that charge a commission.

    After Direct booking on the hotel’s own site.

03 · The client’s path

How a person moves through the product, from the first step to the result the business needs.

  1. Feels the place

    Photos and calm animation show the Carpathians before arrival.

  2. Books a room

    Check-in and check-out dates, guests and a check of free rooms.

  3. Reserves a table

    Day, time and number of guests — confirmation in Telegram.

  4. Reads in their language

    Ukrainian, English and Polish versions for tourists.

04 · What is inside the project

  1. Date-aware booking forms for tables and rooms

  2. A menu and events an editor updates without a developer

  3. Three language versions inside one project

Forecast

20–30% of room bookings move from aggregators to the commission-free site, and guests book tables without calling. A guideline, not a promise.
