Process over tools.
An accommodation does not run because it has good tools. It runs because it has good processes. Technology is chosen to support processes that already make sense, not to invent them.
About Lares
A layer of clarity on the owner's side.
Lares Gestión y Consultoría S.L. is a company incorporated in 2025 to fill the gap between independent accommodations and technology providers.
Three ideas that hold up the rest.
Three convictions that order how we work. If any of them clashes with how you see the business, we'll have plenty to talk about in the diagnostic.
Stack proportional to the accommodation.
The stack has to be sized to the actual case, not to the provider's ego. Fourteen rooms do not need the PMS of a two-hundred-room chain. Two hundred rooms cannot be managed with the PMS for fourteen.
If it does not add, it does not enter.
Every piece of the stack has to justify itself by real, measurable value. If a tool does not improve operations or free up hours, it does not enter production no matter how much the provider insists.
The method, in one sentence.
Write the process before buying the tool. Always.
A consultancy that recommends a PMS without having seen how your team operates is selling software, not solving a problem. Lares does not fit that model.
Two partners at the front, zero intermediaries.
The client always talks to the partners directly. The partners activate whichever technical muscle is needed. No account manager, no indirect channel.
Operations profile · Project leadership
Accommodation operations, lived from the inside.
Nearly six years in hospitality operations: five running an urban hostel, one leading a rural hotel. Before that, a decade in international event production and commissioning wind turbines across three continents. Technical background in telecoms; a degree in Tourism.
Legal profile · Compliance and business
Law and business, applied to the sector.
Degrees in law and in business administration. International commercial law applied to renewables, legal consulting in post-Brexit London, commercial banking and real estate in Manhattan. Today: legal tech and AI automation for tourism compliance.
There are people behind it, of course: two partners and a network of specialists. But the point of contact, the standards and the accountability always answer to the same name: Lares. Talk to the leadership
A network of specialists activated case by case.
Four areas with concrete profiles. They do not bill for meetings; they bill for what they execute. The partners direct, they do the work.

No partner logos, direct relationship with product teams.
There are no partner logos or public certification badges here. That is deliberate: the stack is chosen by fit with the real case, not by loyalty to a brand. If a piece stops working well for a specific client, it gets swapped out.
What does not exist.
No commission per activated licence, no bonus per recommended provider, no closed short list of mandatory brands. If the best piece for your case is the one that gives us no margin, that is the one that goes in.
What does exist.
A direct relationship with the product teams of the tools we recommend. In several cases it reaches the CEO or CTO of the provider. It translates into professional-grade commercial terms, direct support instead of a ticket queue, custom development work and influence over the roadmap.
The money, in a straight line.
No commission per licence, no bonus per recommended brand, no hidden fees. Revenue comes from the client, not from the providers.
Project fee and maintenance fee.
Revenue comes from the project fee and the monthly recurring maintenance fee. Zero commission per activated licence, zero bonus per recommended brand. Recommendations follow the case, not loyalty to a provider.
No public rate cards, no closed packages.
The exact rate arrives after the diagnostic, in a closed written proposal. We do not sell upfront plans or licences; we sell a path sized to the case.
Let's book 30 minutes.
A video call at no cost and no commitment. A mandatory starting point before any proposal.
