Cloudbeds Partners with h2c on Landmark Global Study of AI & Automation in Hospitality

San Diego, CA – Cloudbeds, the AI-powered platform fueling hotel growth today announced its role as a partner in h2c’s newly released 2025 Global Study: “AI & Automation in Hospitality: Navigating Today’s Challenges, Shaping Tomorrow’s Gains.” The report presents exclusive insights from 189 quantitative responses and 26 executive interviews across 171 hotel chains, representing more than 11,000 properties and 1.3 million rooms worldwide.

Key Findings

• AI Adoption Surges: 78% of hotel chains are already using AI, and 89% plan to expand applications in the next 12–24 months. Chatbots lead current use (42%), while customer data management tops future expansion (50%).
• Integration Gaps: Despite widespread adoption, reliance on AI solutions remains moderate, with only 6% of hotel chains operating with a comprehensive AI strategy.
• Barriers to Scale: Lack of expertise (62%), unclear strategy (51%), and integration challenges (45%) remain top obstacles.
• Value Areas: Business Intelligence (78%) and guest communication (77%) are seen as the most valuable applications today, with personalization and upselling driving future initiatives.

Cloudbeds’ Perspective

The study confirms what we see daily: adoption is rising, but integration and clarity are the roadblocks. We are focused on solving both by turning fragmented data into an organizational-wide asset and transforming systems of record into systems of action. That’s how you reduce costs, lift revenue, and keep the guest experience at the center. Adam Harris, CEO of Cloudbeds

This landmark report, supported by 15 leading global IT vendors, brings together critical perspectives from hoteliers worldwide.
