Theme & Plugin

Clean and elegant design of Hotel WordPress Theme – Luvianna makes this theme suitable for various hospitality establishments such as hotels, guest houses, bnbs, hostels, resorts or inns. The theme is powered by MotoPress Hotel Booking plugin – an all-in-one reservation system for your WordPress site.
Thanks to this, your guests will be free to check the availability of your hotel rooms online and book them in real-time.
WordPress 5.0 Theme
Luviana Hotel Booking theme works seamlessly within WordPress 5.0+ and is built from the ground up for the WordPress Block Editor (Gutenberg.) Take the best advantage of the new default editor and build a site for your hotel with no coding involved.
Built with Getwid
We built the demo of this theme using Getwid plugin – a free library of additional blocks for Gutenberg. Some of the blocks provided by Getwid are: Banner block, Image Slider blocks, Advanced Heading block, Testimonial block, Instagram Feed block, and many more. You are free to use the extra blocks too and easily customize the look of any page or post in Luviana theme.
Integrated Online Booking System (added for free)
No more per-booking commissions or subscriptions fees: create a directory of your hotel rooms on your own WordPress site and let your guests book them directly from you. You get a full control over your hotel reservation system and are free to set any pricing or custom booking rules.
Automated and Manual Booking Management
Choose among three ways of processing incoming reservations:
- automatically confirm reservations upon payment;
- automatically send emails with booking confirmation links to your guests;
- review and approve/decline bookings manually from the back-end of your site.
Online and Offline Payments
Let your guests securely pay online or upon arrival. Online payments are handled via 6 reliable payment gateways: PayPal, Stripe, Beanstream/Bambora, Braintree and 2Checkout.
You can optionally purchase our custom WooCommerce Payments addon to extend the number of payment gateways for your hotel site.
Channel Manager for Bookings
iCal sync support lets you update availability of your rooms across multiple channels, so if your hotel is listed on external booking platforms like Expedia, Booking.com, Airbnb or similar, you can rest assured you’ll be protected from double reservations. The two-way sync process can be both automatic and manual.
Taxes and Fees
Be upfront with your customers about all taxes or service charges you collect. With the built-in reservation system of Luviana theme, you can create taxes or fees with custom names and display them in booking price breakdown on checkout.
One-Click Demo Import
Get the theme’s sample data installed on your site automatically with one-click demo importer that comes along with this WordPress hotel template.
