Opera House Hotel

Opera House Hotel is a boutique hotel in the Bronx, New York, set inside the historic Bronx Opera House. Built in 1913 as a theater that hosted performers such as Harry Houdini and the Marx Brothers, the building has been reimagined as a hospitality destination rooted in its cultural heritage.

Today the hotel pairs historic character with modern comfort, offering well appointed rooms, business amenities and a location close to Yankee Stadium and the city’s major attractions. As one of the first boutique hotels in the Bronx, it gives travelers a distinctive alternative to a Manhattan stay while staying well connected to the rest of New York.

The property needed a digital presence that could tell that story, make the location easy to understand and turn interest into direct bookings.

Opera House Hotel partners with Gourmet Marketing, a hotel marketing company for New York hotels, on its full digital program: website design and development, SEO, local search, paid search, email marketing and AI visibility. Every channel works toward the same goal, more direct bookings and less reliance on online travel agencies.

Our hotel website development gave the property a site that tells its theatrical story, explains its location near Yankee Stadium and keeps the path to booking short. We also connected the hotel to Hotel Metrics, our hotel performance platform, for ongoing booking diagnostics.
