Created by Hoteliers Who Understand Small Hotels
Amiqa was born out of a desire to empower independent hotel owners and managers with tools that simplify operations, enhance guest experiences, and drive profitability without the need for a large team.
Our Journey
When Daniel, Amiqa’s co-founder embarked on building his family-owned small hotels in Central America, he brought with him over 15 years of experience from some of the world’s largest hotel chains in highly competitive markets like Spain and Mexico.
Throughout his journey, Daniel recognized a common challenge: most hotel management software was overly complex and prohibitively expensive. These corporate solutions were designed for large hotels with extensive management hierarchies, requiring department heads to report to senior executives—a structure that simply doesn’t exist in small hotels.
Determined to change this, Daniel, now based in Stockholm, set out to create Amiqa with co-founders Carlos, Iván and Mauricio. They combined their expertise from working at tech startups and financial institutions to develop a streamlined automation solution specifically designed for small hotels.
Our Vision
Amiqa’s vision is to support small hotels to not only increase revenue but also control costs and minimize waste through advanced automation technologies. At Amiqa, we envision a future where your team spends less time on administrative tasks, like a profit and loss analysis, and more time making strategic decisions that drive your business forward.
