Custom Hotel Booking Website
Hotel Dralha – WordPress Hotel Booking Website
Hotel Dralha wanted a modern, functional website that could handle online room bookings, showcase accommodations, and reflect their hospitality brand. Instead of building a fully custom theme, we worked with a premium WordPress hotel theme and customized it to match their branding, colors, and service offerings.
The website includes:
Room and apartment listings
Real-time booking system
Dining and event sections
Contact and location info
