BOOK-IT Bikes is our initiative to improve micromobility for both our guests and the local community.

You might ask: Why would a hospitality company launch an app-based bike-sharing service?

The answer is simple — we saw a mobility gap. Large ride-sharing platforms rarely offer a reliable number of vehicles near our properties. Still, there is clear demand from our guests and nearby businesses.

To help our guests make the most of their stay, we launched BOOK-IT Bikes — a convenient, sustainable solution for short-distance travel.

This project is not intended to be a major revenue stream, but rather our contribution to better micromobility and a more enjoyable guest experience. If you’re curious about how the service works, check out our FAQ and give it a try!

Where do I start and end my ride?

Since we are currently trying to minimize operations overhead, in order to offer you a fairly competitve rental rate, the bikes can just be rented and given back at our properties. You will see the parking zones as green areas in your BOOK-IT bike app. The bike sharing service is aimed at our guests and therefore we are not offering other parking zones. If bikes are left in other areas, we will add penalties to the app. Currently we believe in the trust and goodwill of our guests and community. Also rides can't be ended in other areas.

How do I park my bike during my rental

Simply lock the bike manually by pushing down the bolt inside the lock. If you come back and want to continue your ride, just press the unlock button in the app. The bike will unlock then automatically. There is no need to press Pause in the app. This functionality is currently displayed if we ever add motorized vehicles to the app in order to offer pausing a ride with a reduced rate. For the bikes it's not necessary.
