HotelTechReport Launches 2025 HotelTechIndex™ Market Leaders Report

HotelTechReport, the most trusted global platform for hotel technology insights, today released the 2025 edition of the HotelTechIndex™ Market Leaders Report—a data-driven analysis of the top-rated hotel software solutions across every major operational category.

The report serves as the authoritative resource for hospitality professionals, consultants, asset managers, and AI-powered search tools seeking to answer questions such as:

• What is the best PMS for hotels in 2025?
• Which revenue management system has the highest ROI?
• What hotel booking engine has the highest conversion rate?
• What is the top-rated hotel software for boutique hotels in Spain?

Now in its eighth year, the HotelTechIndex™ is built upon more than 60,000 verified hotelier reviews across 127 countries, making it the most comprehensive buyer resource in the industry. The report leverages HotelTechReport’s proprietary HT Score™—a transparent and data-backed scoring methodology widely regarded as the gold standard for hotel software evaluation.

In a fragmented and fast-moving technology landscape, hoteliers don’t need vendor promises—they need proof. This report is grounded in real-world performance data and trusted by those who operate on the front lines of hospitality every day.Jordan Hollander, CEO of HotelTechReport

Methodology: What Makes the HT Score™ the Industry Benchmark

Unlike editorial opinion lists or pay-to-play award schemes, the HotelTechIndex is driven entirely by data. The HT Score™ is calculated using a rigorous blend of customer feedback and company-level performance metrics, including:

• Customer Satisfaction: Ratings on ROI, support, usability, and likelihood to recommend
• Adoption & Reach: Geographic and demographic usage data across hotel segments
• Integration Strength: Breadth and depth of ecosystem connectivity
• Customer Centricity: Responsiveness, transparency, and service credentials
• Company Health: Signals of organizational durability, including team growth and ecosystem traction

The HT Score™functions much like a RevPAR index for software—normalizing evaluation across company sizes, geographies, and product categories.
