MiStay announced a strategic partnership with HyperGuest, the innovative B2B Hospitality Distribution Marketplace. This integration eliminates the need for multiple channel manager connections, enabling MiStay to scale its unique hourly hotel booking model through HyperGuest’s single API. Unlike standard OTA integrations, MiStay’s custom HyperGuest integration enables a single room synced via HyperGuest to be resold in multiple time slots on the same day.
Founded in 2016 by IIT Madras alumni Sandeep Jaiswal & Pranav Prabhakar, MiStay pioneered flexible hotel bookings in India. MiStay currently partners with 3,000+ hotels, including leading brands such as Hyatt, Holiday Inn, Lemon Tree & others, across 90+ cities in India. A significant share of its hourly hotel inventory is concentrated in major metros like hourly hotels in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Chennai—catering to a wide range of use cases such as transit stays, early check-ins/late check-outs, business short stays, daycations, and couple-friendly hotels. Profitable since 2021, MiStay’s micro-stay model taps new demand segments to unlock an estimated US $6 billion of otherwise unsold hotel inventory in India.
The integration with HyperGuest gives MiStay a single, plug-and-play connection to more than 150 channel managers and hotel technology providers worldwide, eliminating the need for one-off integrations and dramatically accelerating hotel onboarding. Additionally, HyperGuest’s global network of 40,000 + hotels can now list on MiStay without managing a separate extranet.
Commenting on the partnership, Sandeep Jaiswal, Co-Founder, MiStay, said, “Our goal is to make distribution effortless for our hotel partners. Any property whose channel manager connects to HyperGuest now streams live inventory to MiStay automatically. The partnership removes friction and unlocks new hourly and day-use demand through the connection hotels already use.” Pranav Prabhakar, Co-Founder & CTO, MiStay, added, “Integrating through a unified API that connects to a wide range of channel managers and PMS systems has helped us overcome a key technical bottleneck. This collaboration reinforces our focus on scalable infrastructure as we expand MiStay’s reach.”
Prashant Menon, Director, Business Development, HyperGuest, commented, “We are excited to welcome MiStay onboard with HyperGuest! The HyperGuest platform empowers travel buyers to connect with multiple hotel systems through a single API, streamlining access and distribution. We have been actively collaborating with hotels to expand their reach, and our partnership with MiStay will enable hotels to benefit from MiStay’s unique business model. Together, we look forward to driving greater value and opportunities for our partners.”
