About

Medhotels was a British-based online accommodation provider offering an extensive portfolio of hotels and resorts, with a particular focus on the Mediterranean region. The platform aimed to provide both travel agents and independent travellers with access to competitively priced, high-quality accommodation in popular holiday destinations.

With its vast selection of properties, ranging from budget hotels to luxurious five-star resorts, Medhotels became a trusted choice for holidaymakers seeking flexibility and value. The platform was designed to make the booking process seamless, catering to leisure travellers looking for everything from romantic escapes to family holidays.

History

Founded in 2002, Medhotels was created to capitalise on the growing demand for online hotel bookings and the increasing popularity of independent travel. The platform initially focused on Mediterranean destinations, including Spain, Greece, and Turkey, before expanding to include properties in the Caribbean, North Africa, and Asia.

Medhotels quickly established itself as a leader in the online travel sector, building strong partnerships with travel agents and becoming a key player in the hotel distribution market. The brand was acquired by the Thomas Cook Group in 2009, which used Medhotels to strengthen its position in the independent travel market.

However, following the collapse of the Thomas Cook Group in 2019, Medhotels ceased operations. Despite its closure, the brand is remembered for its role in shaping the modern landscape of online hotel booking.
