Company
Suiteness
Book guaranteed connecting rooms and suites
We built an online booking platform giving travelers access to thousands of luxury hotel suites, focusing on connecting rooms and suites that let groups and families stay together. Our product solves the problem of finding and booking these rarely available rooms in one place rather than searching hotel sites or calling multiple hotels.
We live across San Francisco, Oakland, and remote. After YC, we plan to base the company in the Bay Area to stay close to our network and talent pool.
Our team is already distributed locally and remotely around the Bay Area. Staying here puts us near luxury hotels and early users while keeping the core team connected and able to iterate rapidly.
