At Minoan, we know hospitality is all about creating unforgettable guest experiences. Whether it's a cozy short-term rental or a boutique hotel, every detail—from the bedding to the decor—helps tell the story of a space. But what if those thoughtful touches could do more than impress guests? What if they could generate revenue, too?
We’re thrilled to announce that Minoan Showroom has officially exited beta and is now available to all hotels and vacation rentals!
What is Showroom
Showroom is a free digital storefront that allows hoteliers and hosts to make their spaces shoppable and offers guests the chance to purchase the products they fall in love with during their stay. Whether it's the plush bedding, that perfect pour-over coffee maker, or local artisanal products, guests can now take a piece of their stay home—and you can earn commissions from it.
Why we built Showroom
We know how much thought goes into every detail of your space. Hotels and vacation rentals provide guests with immersive experiences to discover high-quality products, and you deserve to be rewarded for that. We created Showroom to let you showcase what makes your space unique and turn “Where did you get that” into passive income.
What’s New with Minoan Showroom?
After a successful pilot with over 200 properties, we fine-tuned the platform to help you get rewarded for creating spaces that guests love. Here’s what you can expect:
Create your Showroom in a few simple steps: Setting up your personalized storefront is fast and easy. No complicated processes, just straightforward steps to start showcasing your favorite products.
Support local by adding regional products: You can now highlight local artisans, brands, and products to share your community with guests and let them take a piece of the destination home with them.
Earn commissions on Showroom sales: Properties can now earn commissions on items from thousands of stores, even if purchased outside of Minoan, allowing your Showroom to fully reflect your space.
Track your success: Get data on views, clicks, orders, and earnings from your Showroom.

The impact for Hotels and Short-Term Rentals
With the hospitality industry shifting toward more personalized, immersive stays, Minoan Showroom is helping properties stand out in a competitive market. Our Co-founder, Marc Hostovsky, explains it best:
“At Minoan, we understand that travel is about more than just staying somewhere—it’s about connecting with the destination. Minoan Showroom helps properties bring guests closer to the community and support local economies by featuring local products. These personalized touches are what guests remember long after check-out."
At Minoan, we're committed to giving hotels and hosts the tools to share their stories. Showroom is just one way we're helping hotels and hosts make their spaces work harder—and earn revenue in the process. In fact, Showroom doesn't just benefit property owners—it also opens up new avenues for brands to connect with consumers authentically by turning hotels and rentals into living showrooms where guests can discover and fall in love with high-quality items.
