Elementor Pro allows you to create a complex WordPress-based website with minimum plugins possible. If you want to create a hotel website, for instance, you can use its Theme Builder feature to create a custom template for the custom post type of the room listing item. The ability to display custom fields data makes it possible for you display additional information such as facilities (Wi-Fi, TV, gym, and so on), room parameters (area, beds, bathroom), check in time, check out time, and so on. Running out of idea about the design of website? You have template kits to start from.
What is a template kit?
In the context of Elementor, a template kit refers to a set of templates (be it page templates, popup templates, or theme builder templates) that are created using the same style guide/design system to make sure all elements on the templates have consistent stylings. For instance, if you have a button on the homepage with certain styling (say a square button with a gradient background), the buttons on other pages should also have the same stylings. Another example, the heading section on all pages should have the same typography settings.
Designers might create an Elementor without a particular style guide/design system. The point is that all elements on the templates should have the consistent design. Looking for an Elementor template kit to create a hotel website? We have curated some of the best ones. Here is the list.
Best Hotel Elementor Template Kits
1. Bristol
In general, there are two types of hotel websites. The ones with a booking functionality and the ones without a booking functionality. If you want to create the first hotel website type, Bristol is a template kit you can use. Elementor has no built-in feature to add a booking functionality. JetBooking is a great plugin to add booking functionality. It is a booking plugin from Crocoblock built exclusively for Elementor (also available for Gutenberg).
Bristol is an Elementor template kit that is built using JetBooking and other Elementor add-ons from Crocoblock, including JetEngine. The template kit comes with pre-configured booking forms to allow the aspiring visitors to make a booking directly from your website. JetBooking is used to manage the bookings. It can be integrated with WooCommerce for the payment. Here are the key features offered by the Bristol template kit:
- Single Room Page Template
- Rooms Catalogs Template
- Booking Functionality
- Ajax Filtering
JetBooking is the key plugin in the Bristol template kit. You can learn more about the plugin on the official website of Crocoblock.
2. Mendoz
If you don’t need the booking functionality and are looking for a more affordable template kit, Mendoz can be a great option. The homepage of the template kit has a form section to find and check the availability of rooms, but it doesn’t work the way a room finder should be. When you hit the Find button, the from submission will be sent instead of displaying the available rooms. You can use the form as a manual booking form if you want it.
Mendoz itself has a beautiful enough design, with the slider on the hero section of its homepage displaying the views around the hotel. It comes with a single room page template and a listing section on its homepage to display the rooms on your hotel. Mendoz is created using Elementor only (free and pro). No need to install an add-on to import the template kit. There are 15 templates included in the kit in total, including custom templates for header, and footer.
3. Resortly
As the name suggests, Resortly is an Elementor template kit designed specifically to create a resort website. You can also use it to create a website of a hotel and other lodging types. Same as Mendoz above, Resortly also has a booking section on its homepage. It even comes with a page template dedicated to creating a booking page, complete with the booking form.
But again, the booking form doesn’t have a feature to check the availability of the rooms. You can only use the booking form to accept a booking whereby the availability of the rooms should be checked manually. JetBooking is a solution if you need an automated solution for this matter.
Resortly is created using Elementor Pro and DethemeKit. There are 17 templates offered by Resortly in total, including two popup templates for the email opt-in popup and off-canvas menu.
4. Brooklyn Heights
The pro version of Elementor comes with a Popup Builder feature. The designer of the Brooklyn Heights template kit makes use of the feature to create a booking popup, which will appear when a visitor clicks the Book a Room button on the homepage. The booking popup contains a phone number and email address a visitor can make the contact.
Brooklyn Heights has a great design. It offers six homepage templates you can choose from. The template kit also offers a listing template to display the rooms offered by your hotel, as well as a custom template for the room details. You have 18 templates in total.
5. Byra
Byra is another Elementor template kit that is designed specifically for hotel website. You can use it if you are looking for a template kit that is created using Elementor only.
The designer of the template kit uses Elementor Free and Pro to create the templates, without involving any Elementor add-on. Byra comes with two homepage templates, a listing page for rooms, a custom template for detailed room, custom templates for header and footer, contact page, and about page.
6. Hosteller
If you want to create a website of a hostel, Hosteller is a perfect template kit you can consider. Overall, the features offered by this template kit are not much different from other templates above. It also has a booking from created using the Form widget of Elementor. You will also get a listing page template, complete with the single page template for the listing items.
Some pieces of information available in the single listing item are facilities (bed, AC, Wi-Fi, parking space, and so on). You might need to install ACF before importing the template kit. The Hosteller template kit is created using Hello theme, but you can import the template kit no matter the WordPress theme you use.
The Bottom Line
Creating a website from a template kit has always been a great option. Whether you truly run out of idea about the design concept of your website or simply want to get your website done quicker. You can skip the time-consuming steps upfront like creating the style guide.
When it comes to hotel website, Elementor has widgets like Form, Google Maps, Image Gallery, and so on which you can use to add the necessary elements to the pages of your website. Also, it comes with a Theme Builder feature which you can use to create custom templates for the listing items, theme parts (header, footer, single post, and so on).
If you want to add a booking functionality, there is JetBooking to look at. If you are okay with the manual process of booking management, then Elementor Pro is enough. The template kits we curated above are great to create a WordPress-based hotel website with Elementor.
