Ever wondered how the big French hotels stand out, boost bookings, and enhance guest experience? One way is with virtual tours
Increase hotel bookings by up-to 45% with a virtual tour
Hotels using immersive 3D walkthroughs have reported a 45% increase in bookings — a clear sign that guests are more confident when they can explore a space before committing.
But it’s not just about conversions. Guests spend 280% more time on websites that feature virtual tours. This extended engagement means they’re more likely to explore different room types, amenities, and event spaces — increasing the chance of upsells and direct bookings.
Most importantly, virtual tours build trust. By offering a transparent, interactive view of your property, you reduce booking hesitation and eliminate surprises. Guests arrive knowing exactly what to expect — and that confidence translates into loyalty and positive reviews.
What Makes a Great Hotel Virtual Tour
To truly convert visitors into guests, a virtual tour needs more than just visuals — it needs to be fast, accessible, and seamlessly integrated into the booking journey.
Our tours are built with stunning, high-definition imagery that showcases every detail — from the texture of linens to the ambiance of lighting. This level of clarity helps guests feel confident in what they’re booking, reducing uncertainty and increasing trust.
With most hotel searches happening on mobile, speed and responsiveness are critical. Go Casa’s tours are optimized to load quickly and perform smoothly across all devices, ensuring a frictionless experience whether your guests are browsing from a phone, tablet, or desktop.

Case study: Château Lumière – French Hotel Bringing Elegance to Life with a Virtual Tour
Client: Château Lumière
Location: Gordes, Provence, France
Project Type: Matterport 3D Virtual Tour
Objective: Increase direct bookings and showcase event spaces to international guests
The Challenge
Château Lumière is a luxury boutique hotel nestled in the hills of Gordes, offering panoramic views, historic architecture, and a range of high-end amenities including a spa, gourmet restaurant, and private event spaces. Despite its stunning location and reputation, the hotel struggled to convert online interest into bookings — especially from international guests planning weddings and retreats.
The management team wanted a way to:
- Showcase the property’s unique charm online
- Reduce booking hesitation for high-value events
- Improve visibility in search engines
The Solution: A Matterport Virtual Tour by Go Casa
Go Casa produced a fully interactive Matterport 3D tour of Château Lumière, covering:
- Luxury suites and common areas
- Spa and wellness facilities
- Outdoor terraces and gardens
- Event spaces with multiple layout options
The tour was embedded on the hotel’s website, integrated with their booking platform, and made available in English, French, and German to support international visitors.
The Results
Within a couple of months, direct bookings had increased by over 40% and website engagement rose by over 250%. The hotel’s Google and Bing rankings improved and as a bonus, the hotel had some great new contents for social media.
The main benefit was that event planners were able to make faster decisions and without the need for in-person visits
