Laghetto

What Laghetto does

Laghetto (legal name: Laghetto Hotéis, Resorts e Experiências) is a Brazilian privately-held hotel chain founded in 1989 in Gramado, Rio Grande do Sul, operating 24 hotels and 1 resort across seven destinations (Gramado, Canela, Bento Gonçalves, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo). The chain serves approximately 1.6 million guests annually under a tiered sub-brand architecture: Laghetto Hotéis (standard), Laghetto Resort (full-board family leisure), Laghetto Stilo (premium urban), and Laghetto Collection (luxury boutique), plus the Fidelize Laghetto loyalty program and pet-friendly accommodations developed with Nutrire.

The company's core technology is a third-party booking and distribution stack: the Laghetto website redirects reservation flows to Omnibees for booking engine, account management, and reservation processing, supplemented by a central 0800 reservations line, regional call numbers, and WhatsApp support. Marketing technology is similarly outsourced, leveraging Google Analytics, Hotjar, Facebook Pixel, and WeGlot (multilingual translation); no proprietary AI, APIs, or developer platform is offered. Operational technology is otherwise conventional for the segment, including online check-in, multi-criteria hotel filtering, and event-center configuration tools.

Laghetto's revenue model is multi-stream: primary income from nightly room bookings (rates starting at R$123.45 per night, with payment options including credit card installments, PIX, and bank deposit), supplemented by event-center rentals across multiple cities, third-party hotel management contracts (Locação and Administração models offered to property investors), and franchise/branding fees. Go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer booking via laghettohoteis.com.br with an extensive travel-agency distribution network (CVC, Azul Viagens, TAP, Bancorbras, FlyTour, Masterop, Abreu, ViagensPromo, Orinter, Copastur) plus OTA listings on Booking.com, Decolar, and Hotéis.com. Customer segments span leisure travelers (primary), corporate/business travelers, pet owners, event organizers, and hotel property investors. The company employs 1,001-5,000 staff, is audited by KPMG, and operates an active expansion pipeline of 12+ projects adding 2,242 apartments under construction.
