Internet Booking & Marketing

Karyon has chosen partners for components of our infrastructure, bringing you high-level benefits from their investments and expertise. This allows us to focus our energies on bringing you world class service while delivering practical and sensible mission

Karyon ResPortal, our Internet Booking Engine, allows your hotel to receive room bookings directly from guests, travel agents, groups and other travel bookers over the Internet. The system uses the background and logos from your hotel's website so users can't tell they are accessing a third-party booking tool. Corporate accounts, groups, and travel agents can securely access their profile to see their special negotiated rates and book rooms directly within your rate and availability database.
