Luxury Vacation Rental Platform for the Swiss Alps

The Challenge

Engadin Lodges manages a curated collection of luxury chalets across the Swiss Alps. They were listing properties on Airbnb and Booking.com, paying 15-20% commissions on every reservation. Their brand got lost among thousands of listings, and they had no way to offer the premium, personalized booking experience their high-end clientele expected. They needed their own platform that matched the exclusivity of their properties.

Our Solution

We designed and built a luxury booking platform with a visual-first approach - full-bleed photography, smooth animations, and a refined booking flow that reflects the premium brand. Each property page features interactive photo galleries, detailed amenity lists, floor plans, and local experience recommendations. The booking engine integrates with Stripe for secure payments and offers real-time availability calendars synced with their existing channel manager. We also built a host dashboard for managing reservations, guest communications, and revenue analytics across all properties.

Results

01Direct bookings increased from 12% to 58% of total reservations within 6 months
02Average booking value 22% higher on direct platform vs. third-party listings
03Commission savings exceeded 85,000 CHF in the first season
04Guest satisfaction scores for booking experience improved from 3.8 to 4.9 out of 5
05Host dashboard reduced administrative time by 50% with automated guest communications

webvise delivered a website that finally reflects the quality of our properties. Guests tell us the booking experience itself felt premium. The shift from platform-dependent to direct bookings has transformed our business model.
