Sabre has teamed up with microstay hotel booking platform ByHours to offer by-the-hour hotel reservations.

The Texas-based global distribution system says the agreement makes Sabre the first global platform to offer hourly hotel reservations.

Through the partnership, travel agents will have access to content that will allow them to sell rooms by the hour through the ByHours’ Sabre Red App, increasing the distribution reach and revenue opportunities for ByHours and hoteliers while providing agents with the relevant content their customers demand.

“Giving travel agencies the power to offer relevant content to satisfy the changing needs of their clients is paramount to Sabre. Today, more than ever, travel buyers want access to a broad range of content that better meets the needs of today’s traveler,” says Traci Mercer, senior vice president of product segment at Sabre Travel Solutions.

“We are excited to provide Sabre-connected travel agencies the ability to further personalize the customer experience with ByHours’ unique microstay content that provides more flexibility while creating value for all stakeholders across the ecosystem.”
