With over 900 properties and more than 85,000 rooms across the UK and Ireland, as well as 10,500 rooms in Germany, Premier Inn's properties are now available through Sabre's GDS. This integration enables travel agencies to book Premier Inn properties within the same platform as other travel components and services, streamlining the booking process and enhancing the overall travel experience.

"This is another step in our ongoing efforts to enrich Sabre's lodging content for our travel advisor partners," said Chinmai Sharma, Global Head – Lodging, Ground & Sea at Sabre Travel Solutions. "Premier Inn is a well-known brand in the European market due to their quality, locations and traveller-friendly amenities. We are thrilled to bring their content directly onto our platform for our agency partners, especially at a time of strong hotel room demand in Europe."

Sabre's multi-source content approach, which integrates traditional and new content types, allows travel buyers to seamlessly book travel components while benefiting from the choice, transparency, and dynamic merchandising capabilities offered by Sabre's platform.

In addition to accessing Premier Inn's extensive lodging content, Sabre-connected agencies also benefit from enhanced capabilities offered by Lodging AI, powered by Sabre Travel AI™. Utilising machine learning, this solution analyses property attributes, trip segmentation, and preferences to present the most relevant lodging options, boosting hotel attachment rates and offering personalised choices. These capabilities ensure Premier Inn properties are optimally showcased, aligning their attributes with traveller preferences and trip details, boosting hotel attachment rates.

"Our partnership with Sabre means we can significantly extend our reach and provide our guests with a greater choice of booking options," said Joe Garrood, Chief Commercial Officer for Premier Inn. "Facilitated by DerbySoft's technology, we have been able to integrate directly with Sabre's lodging platform. This means we can ensure that our hotels are merchandised to the managed travel category in the best way possible, enabling our guests to experience the high standards of convenience, service and affordability that Premier Inn is known for."
