On Tuesday 16 September, Airbnb co-founder and CEO Brian Chesky said the short-term rental giant is adding a hotel interface to its app, something he said was always its plan.
Chesky shared that Airbnb rebuilt its tech from the ground up for the launch of its Services and relaunch of its Experiences verticals, and this work can also be applied to hotels.
Airbnb, he said, is building a first class interface to showcase homes, inns and bed and breakfasts.
