NovaBid is the hotel marketplace for business travel. Hotels compete. You win. Here's how it works. A business posts the trip it needs: city, dates, guests, budget, and anything the trip depends on, like breakfast, parking or a meeting room. Independent hotels see the brief and reply with private offers built for it. The business picks one, pays once, and gets one receipt. No booking fees, no markup, and the price you see is the price you pay. For hotels, it's business the OTAs can't touch. Offers are private, so your public rates are never undercut. You pay commission only when you win a booking, and you're paid at the moment of booking, in your bank within 7 days, not weeks after checkout. We work exclusively with independent hotels and independently-run groups. Never the chains. We're starting in Edinburgh, where we're signing our first ten founding hotels now at 10% commission, locked for life. NovaBid was founded by Thomas Mellot, who trained as a chef in France and worked front of house in Edinburgh's hotels, including the Caledonian and the Balmoral. The whole company is built on one belief: business travel works better when hotels compete for the trip instead of travellers competing for the room.
