@rrhoover Hi Ryan, most high-end hotels reserve the top 20% of their inventory for direct bookings. So that typically means over the phone. They don't put them on Expedia, Priceline or even their own site. This includes suites, multi-room suites, and penthouses. We have to partner with each hotel directly in order to get access to this inventory. The hotels share it with us because we are a members-only site with great customers.
Airbnb and Homeaway make most of their profit from multi-room inventory and hotels are losing out because that is where customers are now looking for it. This is how hotels can regain those customers.

Congrats guys, awesome to see other founders solving problems in the hotel industry. Love the UI and access to exclusive inventory/rates. Will definitely recommend to my friends. What's next on your roadmap?
@davecyen Thanks Dave! We are integrating deeper with hotels so we can get even more unique inventory. We are also working on our mobile app.

Great idea Kyle, the concept is great as it does in most cases work out cheaper getting a suite instead of a room each for groups of 3 or more.
Just an FYI - You can still see the prices without signing up, I was able to search & scroll through the prices despite the modal for a signup.
@_sergeh Hey, thanks for the feedback. It looks like we had a surge in European threat vectors last night and Cloudflare automatically promoted a rule to block browsers that failed it's "Browser Integrity Check" in that region. I've relaxed the rule, so let me know if you continue to have trouble :)
Thanks David!
I'm Kyle one of the co-founders of Suiteness. I'm here to answer any questions you may have.
We've recently added financing with Affirm and we would love your feedback on that.
One thing to note is that our site does require setting up a free account before you see pricing. In order to get discounts from our hotel partners, that is a part of most contracts we sign.
We are fervently adding new cities and hotels so please let us know if there is anything you are looking for that isn't currently on the site.
I tried to book a suite at the Cosmo once... it took about 2 hours and 7 different phone calls. There was no possible way to do it online, which means I even didn't get to see pictures of the place before hand. Suiteness is a much needed product!

Stumbled across this and it sounds like a great idea. Suites sit empty 80% of the time, and aren't super easy to find or book. Sometimes it's more cost effective to book a crazy suite than multiple hotel rooms for things like a bachelor party, etc.
Worth noting that you need to create an account to see pricing (sounds like it's due to hotel policy).
