# Abra Hospitality > Abra is the AI Guest Intelligence Platform for luxury and independent hotels. We unify what every hotel system already knows about its guests (PMS, CRM, POS, spa, messaging, ops) with the half of guest intelligence that lives only in staff heads — the quiet observations, preferences, and context noticed shift to shift. The result is a single living profile per guest and orchestrated, anticipatory service across every department. Abra is built for the kind of hotel where guests expect to be remembered. Trusted by Hotel Wailea, Inn at Hastings Park, Hotel Jackson, Tributary Hotel, Southall Farm & Inn, and Auberge du Soleil. Founded in 2025 by leaders from Four Seasons, Relais & Châteaux, The Peninsula, Wpromote, Apple, and Lyra Health. ## Platform - [Homepage](https://abrahospitality.com/): Overview of the platform, the three jobs of guest intelligence (Listen / Understand / Act), the staff-capture app, the context graph, the connector marketplace, and how Abra orchestrates intelligence across departments. - [About Abra](https://abrahospitality.com/about): Why Abra exists, the founders' backgrounds in luxury hospitality and enterprise AI, and the principles guiding how we build (Innovation, Intentionality, Hospitality). - [Multi-Property](https://abrahospitality.com/multi-property): How hotel groups, brands, and associations use Abra Gold to share a living institutional memory across every property — so a guest's preferences and history travel with them across the portfolio. - [Security & Trust](https://abrahospitality.com/security): How Abra protects hotel and guest data.
