About Apaleo

Revolutionizing hospitality through open technology.

Our Mission: To Power the Freedom to Create in Hospitality

Apaleo was born from a simple yet radical idea: what if hospitality technology could be as agile and innovative as the industry itself? Frustrated by closed systems and the slow pace of change, our founders envisioned a truly open platform. A platform where hoteliers gain the freedom to choose the best-of-breed applications, integrate seamlessly, and innovate without limits.

We believe that true innovation flourishes when barriers are removed. That's why openness is at our core. We foster a vibrant ecosystem of partners and developers, all building on our API-first platform. This allows hoteliers to craft unique guest experiences, streamline operations, and drive profitability in ways never before possible.

Our commitment to customer-centricity means we're not just building software; we're building a partnership. We're dedicated to empowering hoteliers and technology providers to shape the future of hospitality together. Join us in building a more connected, creative, and efficient industry.
