Explore how Marco is transforming group travel with Instant Offsites - AI-powered, transparent, and built to take teams from idea to booked offsite in days, not months.
Instant Offsites
Booking a hotel for yourself? Easy. Booking one for your entire team? Whole different story.
Group travel is the last corner of corporate travel stuck in the 90s: still running on emails, PDFs, and phone calls.
After feeling that pain firsthand, and seeing companies routinely overpay by 30%, we set out to build something better: a modern, AI-powered group travel platform that makes booking an offsite both easier and cheaper than booking for yourself.
Two years later, that idea became Marco Instant Offsites: a product built from the ground up to redefine how teams explore, compare, and book group travel.
Phase 1: Explore with AI
Find the right venues in minutes, not months.
The old way:
Endless searching, emailing hotels one by one, and waiting (sometimes weeks) for someone to reply.
The new way:
With Marco’s AI-powered Explore, teams can instantly explore cities, surface hotels that match their group size, budget, and vibe: build a shortlist, all in one place.
Search and filter by destination, meeting space, amenities, or overall feel. Even compare multiple cities side by side to see which properties best fit your team.
It’s the fastest way to go from “Where should we go?” to “These three hotels are perfect.”

Phase 2: Compare
Turn messy RFPs into side-by-side clarity.
The old way:
Juggling email threads, inconsistent PDFs, and numbers that never quite match.
The new way:
Marco standardizes every hotel quote - pricing, concessions, and savings - so you can instantly compare options apples-to-apples.
See which venues fit your dates, budget, and meeting-space needs, complete with availability and clear quantified savings.
From a single dashboard, view quotes, share them with your team, and move forward confidently knowing you’re getting the best value.
Phase 3: Book
From shortlist to fully booked: contracts, payments, and confirmations all in one place.
The old way:
A maze of emails with hotel sales teams. Confusing deposits. PDF contracts. Redlines. Chasing signatures. Manual invoices.
Nothing happens in one place, and nothing happens fast.
The new way:
Marco brings contracts, payments, and booking confirmations into a single, guided flow, so you can finalize everything in one seamless experience.
Refine your quote, request your contract, pay deposits directly in-product, and confirm your booking.
Every detail - dates, room counts, meeting spaces - is clearly calculated. Marco ensures the hotel receives exactly what they need to secure your team’s event.
No chasing signatures, no manual invoices. Just one smooth path from shortlist to signed booking.
Over the coming weeks, we’ll dive deeper into how each phase of Marco is redefining what group travel can be.
