Lighthouse
Commercial intelligence platform for hotels: rates, demand, and revenue in one place.
About
Lighthouse, formerly OTA Insight, is a commercial platform for the travel and hospitality industry that brings hotel market intelligence, demand signals, competitive rates, revenue management, benchmarking, and direct-booking tools into one workspace. Its datasets cover over 725,000 hotels and 19 million short-term rental properties globally, and the company reports serving 65,000 to 80,000 hotels across 185 countries. Core products include Rate Insight for competitive price intelligence, Market Insight for forward-looking demand, Benchmark Insight with an AI-powered Smart Compset for competitive sets, and Ernest, an AI teammate that answers business questions and automates tasks.
The platform grew through acquisition: Transparent (vacation rental intelligence, 2022), Kriya RevGen, Rate Insight+ combining hotel and short-term rental data, and The Hotels Network. The 2024 rebrand from OTA Insight to Lighthouse signaled this unified direction. For revenue managers the draw is one workspace for pricing, performance measurement, and market understanding, with AI applied to compset generation and business Q&A rather than bolted on as a chatbot.
