Grupo Transhotel API integration: what happened and what to connect now

Transhotel was a Madrid hotel wholesaler that sold rooms and other travel services to agencies through a B2B site and XML web services. The group went through insolvency in 2014 and stopped trading, so there is no Transhotel API left to connect. This page keeps the facts on record and shows where agencies source the same inventory in PHPTRAVELS today.

Replacing a closed wholesaler

Five steps to move old Transhotel bookings to new suppliers

Agencies that still have Transhotel hotel codes or contracts in their system usually follow this order.

Need a regional wholesaler that is not native?

Many Spanish and European bedbanks offer XML or JSON APIs. If yours is not on the list, PHPTRAVELS can build the connector for you as a custom integration.

Custom API integrationLive demo
  1. 01

    Find what is left

    List every hotel code, mapping table and saved rate that still points to Transhotel, and switch them off so nothing is offered that cannot be booked.

  2. 02

    Pick replacement suppliers

    Choose two or three bedbanks that cover the same destinations. More than one supplier per city protects you when one runs out of rooms.

  3. 03

    Map and merge hotels

    Match the same hotel across suppliers so customers see one property with the best rate, not three copies.

  4. 04

    Test real bookings

    Run test bookings and cancellations with each new supplier in its test environment before you go live.

  5. 05

    Go live by market

    Turn suppliers on city by city, watch confirmations and price checks, then widen the rollout.

FAQ

Questions about Grupo Transhotel

What agencies ask when they find Transhotel in an old supplier list.

Talk to sales

No. The group went through insolvency in 2014 and closed, so its XML web services are no longer offered. Any guide or plugin that promises a working Transhotel connection is out of date.

No. Transhotel only appeared in our old supplier directory as a profile. Today the stays module connects natively to suppliers such as Hotelbeds, TBO Holidays, RateHawk, Stuba and Hotelston.

Claims from the insolvency were handled by the court and the insolvency administrator in Spain. PHPTRAVELS cannot recover or confirm those bookings; contact the administrator or your legal adviser.

For broad hotel coverage in Spain and Europe, agencies often start with Hotelbeds and add one or two more bedbanks. The best mix depends on your markets, so test rates for your own top destinations.

Yes, as a custom integration. You bring the supplier contract and API documentation, and PHPTRAVELS builds and tests the connector inside the stays module.

No. PHPTRAVELS is licensed software. Supplier contracts, rates and commissions are between you and each supplier.
