AURA + Straiv
AI receptionist for hotels that run their guest journey on Straiv.
Last updated: August 27, 2026
Straiv digitalises the on-property guest journey: online check-in and check-out, digital registration, digital guest directory, room access, payment and automated upselling - all through a web app the guest opens on their own phone, without a download. More than 3,400 hotels in 30 countries work with it.
AURA and Straiv are partners, and the two solutions cover two different halves of the same guest experience. Straiv is strong once the guest has booked and arrived. AURA works before that: on the phone, in the inbox and in the chat on your website, around the clock.
For your hotel that means enquiries no longer go unanswered because nobody can pick up - and everything that follows continues digitally in Straiv. Your team is relieved on both sides, without the guest ever feeling fobbed off by a machine.

Frequently asked questions about AURA + Straiv

Do I have to change anything in my Straiv setup?
No. AURA is connected to your PMS and runs alongside. Your Straiv configuration stays exactly as it is.
Can AURA point guests to our digital services?
