Official WhatsApp Business API

WhatsApp Business API for hotels & rentals, done for you

WhatsApp is where your guests already message, HiLucy runs your hotel on the official WhatsApp Business API so you can meet them there without the setup headache. We provision the number, handle template approval, and put a grounded AI concierge on the line that answers from your real property data, takes bookings, runs QR digital check-in, and upsells spa, tours and dining, 24/7, in English and Spanish. Because it's the official Business API (not an unofficial bridge), your account stays compliant and your templates get delivered. Guests can pay in-chat via Stripe and have charges settle to their room folio, so a WhatsApp thread becomes a full booking-and-payment channel, not just a help desk. Cut front-desk phone volume, capture after-hours demand, and turn conversations into revenue, on the app 2 billion people already have open.
