What it does
Running a hotel or resort website means presenting rooms, amenities and photos clearly while also taking reservations. Bluebell brings those pieces together in one theme. It includes an integrated booking system for handling reservations directly through your site, plus gallery and room display options for presenting your property with images. The layout is responsive, so pages adapt to phones, tablets and desktops, and it is built to work across modern browsers.
Setup starts with a set of pre-built homepage and inner page templates that you can adapt to your property. From there, theme options let you change layouts and colors to match your brand, and the live theme customizer shows your changes as you make them, with no coding needed. The theme is translation ready and supports multiple languages, which suits properties that welcome international guests. It fits boutique hotels, larger resorts and small guesthouses alike.
