Virtual tour hotels
The room, the view and the ballroom, before they book.
A hotel virtual tour starts at $395 based on the area scanned: lobby, two or three room types, function rooms and restaurant, rarely the whole hotel. Scanned between two occupancies, about 10,000 sq. ft. per half day; online within 24 to 48 hours in most cases, on your Google Business Profile. Over 1,000 tours on Google Maps since 2015. Call 514 262-9248.
- Captured between two occupancies, without disturbing your guests
- Online within 24 to 48 hours
- 2D floor plan and 1 year of hosting included
- Over 1,000 tours published on Google Maps since 2015
They trust us
Travellers want to see the room before they book.
Hotel room photos all look alike. A hotel virtual tour instead lets travellers walk into the room, open the bathroom, look out the window and head down to the spa. They know what to expect, and they book with you rather than on a third-party platform.
01
More direct bookings
A traveller who has walked through the room no longer needs to compare elsewhere. According to Matterport, hotel clients of the MPskin branding provider obtained up to 20% more direct bookings.
02
Sell your meeting and banquet rooms
A conference or wedding planner walks through the set-up room, measures the stage and checks supplier access, without travelling. The 2D floor plan is included.
03
Visible on your Google Business Profile
A hotel is a non-residential location: the tour is published on Google Maps and Google Street View. According to Matterport, Lindner Hotels obtained 25% more clicks by linking its tours to its Google Business Profile.
04
Accessibility, verified in advance
Ramp, elevator, door widths, accessible bathroom: a wheelchair user sees and measures before arriving, instead of discovering the problem at the front desk.
A real tour to explore
Step inside the Hilton Lac-Leamy.
A tour produced for Loto-Québec, with 12 information tags. Move from one room to the next, switch to the dollhouse view, open the tags: this is what your travellers and event planners will see at your property.
Six uses of a virtual tour in a hotel.
Rooms and suites
Two or three room types, from standard to suite: travellers choose the right category, and you receive fewer change requests at check-in.
Meeting and banquet rooms
Conference, wedding and gala planners plan from a distance with the floor plan and measurements; your group sales team answers with a link rather than a site visit.
Restaurant, bar, spa and pool
The atmosphere a photo cannot convey: travellers move through the dining room, the bar and the spa, and your packages appear in information tags.
Accessibility of the premises
Step-free entrance, elevators, accessible rooms and public washrooms tagged in the tour; visitors measure the width of a door themselves.
Inns, bed and breakfasts, outfitters and resorts
In the regions, an inn virtual tour shows the cabins, the common room and the waterfront to travellers who do not know the area.
Internal uses
Train new staff, show a model room to your banner’s head office, keep a dated record of the rooms before a renovation.
You stay in control
Your marketing department updates the tour itself.
On request, your team receives access to the Matterport editor for the tour. It changes the seasonal package, replaces the restaurant menu or adds the tag for the new spa the same day, without waiting for us.
- Add or edit information tags: packages, menus, group rates, booking links
- Name rooms and place labels
- Create a guided tour for event planners
- Choose the starting view and hide private areas
- Editor access: $150 per year
Public pricing
Pricing based on the area captured.
A hotel is rarely scanned in full. We capture what sells: the lobby, two or three room types, the function rooms, the restaurant, the spa. The price follows the area actually captured and includes the capture, the 3D tour, the 2D floor plan and one year of hosting.

Good to know: we capture empty rooms, and the tour sits next to your booking engine, not inside it
The capture takes place between two occupancies, in made-up rooms and set-up function rooms; no one appears, and any face that slips in is blurred. The tour is shared by link, by embed code on your website and on your Google Business Profile; it does not integrate with your booking engine, but a tag can lead to the booking page for the room shown.
A hotel virtual tour, as seen by a traveller
A couple from Quebec City is planning a weekend in Gatineau. On your website, under the room photo, a button: “Tour the room in 3D.” They step in, walk around the bed, open the bathroom, look out the window. A tag at the foot of the bed shows this season’s “Spa and dinner” package. They head down to the lobby, pass the restaurant, take a look at the pool. Three minutes later, they book on your website: they have no questions left.
That is what a hotel virtual tour does, in 360 and in 3D: it answers the questions photos leave open. Is the room big? Shower or bath? What do you see from the window? Travellers who have the answer book with confidence, and they book with you. The restaurant, the bar and the spa, which often tip the balance between two hotels at the same price, can be toured the same way; to place packages, menus and videos in them, see the enhanced virtual tour.
On your Google Business Profile, the same tour appears in Google Maps and in Google Street View for people searching for a hotel in your city: that is the Google virtual tour, captured the same day.
Sell your meeting and banquet rooms from a distance
For a conference, wedding or gala planner, scouting a room means a trip, sometimes from far away. With a meeting room virtual tour or a banquet hall tour, they walk through the set-up room, measure the stage width, the ceiling height and the door clearance, then share the link with their client or their caterer. For a scaled room layout, see the floor plan.
Your group sales team can then answer an inquiry with a link to the right room, with capacities and packages in information tags. According to Matterport, hotel clients of the Allseated event platform increased their sales by 30% with 3D tours of their function rooms.
Inns, bed and breakfasts, outfitters and resorts
In the regions, travellers do not know your area and hesitate more. An inn virtual tour or an outfitter tour shows the cabins, the common room, the lakeshore and the access road; aerial drone views place the property in its landscape. We travel anywhere in Quebec: beyond about 100 km from Montreal, the travel fee of $0.73/km is shared between the properties on the same route. A tourist attraction nearby? See the museum virtual tour; a visitor centre or a community hall, the virtual tour for municipalities page.
Accessibility, shown rather than promised
“Accessible to people with reduced mobility” does not say whether the bathroom door lets a wheelchair through. In the tour, we tag the step-free entrance, the elevator, the accessible room and the public washrooms, and visitors measure the width of a door or the height of a counter themselves. Families with a stroller and older travellers benefit too.
The example of the Hilton Lac-Leamy and the Loto-Québec casinos
For Loto-Québec, we captured the Hilton Lac-Leamy, in Gatineau, with 12 information tags, as well as its casinos: Casino de Montréal, Casino du Lac-Leamy, Casino de Charlevoix, Casino de Mont-Tremblant and the Salons de jeux in Quebec City and Trois-Rivières. Hotels under the Marriott, Best Western and Comfort banners also have their tour.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our answers.
Another question? Write to marc@panosphere360.com or call 514 262-9248.
Do we need to scan the whole hotel?
No, and it is rarely useful. We capture the lobby, two or three room types, the meeting and banquet rooms, the restaurant and the spa. The price follows the area captured, and a large hotel receives a quote within 24 hours.
When do you capture a hotel?
Between two occupancies for the rooms, and when the function rooms are set up but empty; also in the evening and on Saturday mornings. The rooms must be made up, the lights on and the curtains open if the view matters.
Can the tour be on our website and on Google at the same time?
Yes. You receive an embed code for the room page and a link for your emails and social media. Since a hotel is a non-residential location, the same capture can be published on your Google Maps listing and in Google Street View (+$200).
Can event planners measure our rooms?
Yes, directly in the tour: stage width, ceiling height, door clearance. The Pro3 camera is accurate to ±20 mm at 10 m, according to Matterport. These measurements are for planning; they do not replace an architect’s drawings.
Does the tour integrate with our booking engine?
No. The tour is a link and an embed code that you place on the room page, next to the booking button. A tag can, however, contain the booking link for the room shown.
Can we show the hotel’s accessibility?
Yes. We tag the accessible entrance, the elevators, the accessible rooms and the public washrooms, and visitors measure the width of a door themselves. Guests in a wheelchair or with a stroller check before they book.
We are an inn in the regions: do you travel?
Anywhere in Quebec. Beyond about 100 km from Montreal, a travel fee of $0.73/km is added; an inn, a bed and breakfast and an outfitter in the same region can be captured on one route to share it.
Can the tour be bilingual?
Yes. The interface displays in French or in English depending on the link shared, and your information tags can be written in both languages. With custom branding, the menu is bilingual at a single address.
