The Lighthouse Story

Lighthouse provides the leading commercial intelligence platform for the global hospitality industry.

Founded in 2012, Lighthouse’s leadership understood that shifts – like the proliferation of online distribution channels, and last-minute mobile bookings and cancellations – would require the hotel industry to make faster, more dynamic business and revenue decisions. The company’s platform transforms billions of fragmented pricing and commercial data points into actionable insights, allowing operators to optimize pricing and distribution, measure property performance, and track market dynamics in real-time.

Today, over 65,000 hoteliers across 185 countries rely on the Lighthouse platform to run their businesses more effectively and efficiently.

Lighthouse & Spectrum

The Lighthouse team partnered with Spectrum in 2021, after building a relationship over several years. Their joint mandate was to scale the company’s global go-to-market teams, execute on a product-focused M&A strategy, and invest in solutions that would strengthen the company’s ability to serve the full market of hotels, ranging from portfolios of global chains to owner-operated independent properties.

Lighthouse has become a standard-setter in the travel and hospitality technology market. The business has an industry-leading global customer footprint, data and products that support a wide range of customers and commercial decisions, and a best-in-class leadership team.
