A luxury hotel website (+38% direct bookings)
Léon La Salle (Bangkok) needed a hotel website that tells its story, captivates sophisticated guests and converts browsing into bookings. We crafted an immersive, editorial-led site with elegant visual storytelling, high-impact photography, clear room and experience hierarchies, frictionless reservation flows, mobile-first checkout, multilingual support and accessibility improvements.
Launch results: +38% direct bookings, +26% conversion uplift, −21% bounce rate
@Francisco Vargas those are fantastic launch results! Great work! 🎉
