Albatross Highlights: Free Hotel Booking Elementor WordPress Theme
A perfect free Elementor template for hotels with the lite version of the hotel plugin WordPress system included.
You can extend this theme with many premium extensions*
*These extensions are NOT included with the theme purchase, but you can buy the desired ones separately.
Breathtaking Front Page & Theme Visuals
Prioritizing bold image galleries, properties, news & events, you’ll create outstanding pre-vacation experiences of your hotel or vacation rental. You can use a video, slider, or image in the front page header.
Feature your best rooms, focus on the social proof with testimonials, and provide visitors with structured information in clean header and footer sections.
Property Page Design Variations
This free Hotel Booking Elementor WordPress theme makes it easy to showcase properties in a compact list view with a sidebar or put single/multiple properties in the spotlight (without a sidebar).
With a single accommodation layout, you are free to focus on individual properties – display an image gallery, room capacity, pricing, availability calendars, virtual tours, and more.
Tweak Theme Design with Elementor
The Albatross free WordPress hotel theme is crafted with the most popular and loved WordPress site builder – Elementor. It guarantees smooth and flexible edit times for you, even if you don’t have any tech skills.
All those stunning visuals you see in a demo – galleries, tabs, sliders, testimonials, and more are pre-built and styled with Elementor. And you can edit them in visual mode!
Lottie Animation, Image Hotspots & More with Stratum
Stratum is our hand-crafted collection of extra widgets that brings many more customization opportunities to Elementor and Albatross.
We didn’t just pack this addon with the theme, we added many pre-designed content widgets created with Stratum: lightweight Lottie animations, maps, image galleries, and more!
Change Theme Accent Colors in WordPress Hotel Template
The Albatross Free WordPress Hotel Theme allows you to change the color scheme via WordPress Customizer for the entire site globally.
For individual content elements, there are always Elementor widgets to help you choose complementary colors for buttons, backgrounds, texts, and any needed content element.
One-Click Demo Import for Super Quick Setup
Want your hotel site to look exactly like in a demo? You won’t need to worry about the setup process!
The Albatross Free WordPress Hotel theme is packed with the dedicated tool that will help launch your site and make it look like in a demo, literally in minutes.
Property Management & Bookings with MotoPress
The MotoPress Hotel Booking plugin is sharpened for lodging business needs. It enables you to have control over the full cycle of property and bookings management! The plugin is available in free and PRO versions. The Albatross Elementor hotel template is powered by the free version, but we also highlight premium features so you can see all plugin opportunities.
Seasonal Pricing & Custom Rates
Set different rates for the same accommodation type based on different conditions. For example:
- Accommodation facilities.
- Calendar period (holidays, weekends, seasons).
- Discount coupons.
- The length of stay and number of guests (available with Hotel Booking Pro only).
PayPal, Pay on Arrival, Direct Bank Transfer
The free version of the Hotel Booking plugin integrated with Albatross allows for secure payment processing via the built-in PayPal payment gateway, direct bank transfer, or cash on arrival.
You can unlock even more gateways, such as Stripe, Beanstream/Bambora, Braintree, and 2Checkout with Hotel Booking Pro.
Property Search Form with Your Custom Filters
This feature is available with Hotel Booking Pro only.
For multiple accommodations, you can make the property search as quick and convenient as possible for your prospects.
The search form can be easily extended with any sorting filters that are specific to your business realities.
Automated & Manually Approved Bookings
You may opt for accepting all booking submissions automatically, for example, upon payments or when a guest confirms their booking by clicking a link in the email.
Otherwise, entrust this task to your website admin staff so that they can approve or decline booking submissions manually.
Double Your Profit with Bookable Extras
Add and categorize extra services, assign them to specific accommodation types, and set charging rules (e.g. charge once per stay or per each night) for them.
At checkout, guests will be able to view and add the offers they like to their bookings.
Sync Site Bookings with OTAs like Airbnb
This feature is available with Hotel Booking Pro only.
Grow direct bookings with the Albatross Hotel Booking Elementor WordPress Theme but don’t forget about extra channels! Sync availability calendars across different OTAs like Airbnb or Booking.com and your WordPress website.
Admin Calendar for All Bookings
The calendar gives you a visual view of all bookings with all statuses (confirmed, pending confirmation, etc.).
You can quickly filter them by the status, date, or accommodation type to see available/unavailable slots. Additionally, you’ll view all bookings in chronological order via the Payment History menu.
Portable Bookings Data in CSV Documents
Feel free to generate booking reports and export them in a CSV format.
For your spreadsheet document, you can choose individual fields with information about accommodation types, booking statuses, booking IDs, rates, and more filters.

Hi, I’m using Albatross theme with Hotel Booking pro plugin. I would like to know if there is a way to replace the featured image of Single Accommodation pages with the image gallery of that accommodation type or not?
Hi Vias, There is no such an option in the theme by default. You might need to override the template files of the theme to replace the featured image with the gallery on the pages of accommodation types.
Hi Mr Davis,
Thanks for your help on the coloring, I managed to change the link of the colors. The only thing that I have now left is the pink color of the widgets like for the price and the icons.
how can I change those?
Thanks!

Hi, I’ve checked your site and it looks like you have managed to sort it out?

Hi Nikki,
You may try to apply the code below:
@media (min-width: 992px) { .site-header { padding: 50px 60px 0 60px; } }Thanks! That made the header look a bit better indeed but I am also looking to narrow the space just below the header any tips for that?
Thanks!
Hi Nikki,
Thanks for your reply. You may try to add the code below additionally to the previous one:
@media (min-width: 780px) { #primary.site-main { margin-top: -80px !important; } }Hi, how can I change pictures and text in the slider?
Hi, Thanks for your question. Each slide of the slideshow on the Home page is a child page of your Home page. So you need to navigate to Pages > All pages and find the Front Page. There you will see the child pages under it. You need to edit the child page to be able to change the title, excerpt, and featured image.
Bonjour je suis confronté au meme probleme et je n’arrive pas a modifier les element de la page Home
Feel free to contact our support team to get assistance with it.
Hi thanks again for all your assistance on the theme.
I am wondering if there is a way around not using a small square logo in the header. It seems whenever I try to upload the logo, it gets cropped.
Is there a way to override this, so I can upload a landscape logo?
Hi Julie,
You may change the frame of the image you need to crop and crop it as a rectangular instead of square.
I am trying to test if Albatross would work for our vacation rental, however I can’t import the demo data – it says “There are no predefined import files available for this theme. Please upload the import files manually below.”
Where can I download the demo data from so i can upload to WordPress?
Hi, You may find the files on the current page above. Here is a direct anchor link https://motopress.com/products/albatross/#install-demo-guide
Hi there,
How can I edit the header so that I may be able to add an additional button where the ‘Menu’ button is? I cannot find the container to edit this section.
Thanks,
Jamie
Hi Jamie, There is no possibility to add custom buttons next to the MENU button in the header. You may try to override the header.php file of the theme to add custom content.
Hi I would like the rooms & suits to look like waht you have on your demo page (one line gallery scrolling horizontally) When I import the accommodation in – each one shows as full page images with the info underneath rather than smaller images. in one line.
Is this something in the settings – because I have tried a few things and cant seem to get it looking like yours.
Also is there a way to edit the layout of the accommodation page template? You mentioned below that it can be done in Elementor but I am not finding this option.
Hi Julie, You need to apply a special class name
sliderto transform the list of the accommodation types into a slider/carousel. This is a feature of the Albatross theme only.Thanks this worked like a charm
