Himara - WordPress Hotel Theme 1.0.2

**Himara** is an all-in-one, premium WordPress theme designed specifically for the hospitality industry, including luxury hotels, resorts, bed & breakfasts, and serviced apartments. It is widely recognized for its "Eagle Booking" integration, which provides a professional-grade reservation system directly within the WordPress dashboard. 

In 2026, Himara remains a top choice because it eliminates the need for expensive third-party booking subscriptions while maintaining a high-end, modern aesthetic.

## 🏨 The "Eagle Booking" Engine 

The standout feature of Himara is the custom-built **Eagle Booking** plugin included with the theme. It offers: 

* **Direct Bookings:** Allow guests to check availability, select rooms, and pay without leaving your site. 
* **Room Management:** Set specific amenities, maximum guests, and "Room Types" (e.g., Deluxe, Suite, Twin). 
* **Seasonal Pricing:** Automatically adjust rates for holidays, weekends, or peak summer/winter seasons. 
* **Service Add-ons:** Upsell extras like "Airport Pickup," "Breakfast," or "Spa Treatment" during the checkout process. 
* **Availability Calendar:** A backend view for staff to manage bookings and avoid double-reservations.

## ✨ Design & Customization 

Himara is built to be visually stunning yet highly functional: 

* **8+ Home Page Demos:** Includes pre-made layouts for different styles, such as "Classic Hotel," "Lodge," "Summer Resort," and "Boutique." 
* **Elementor Integration:** Every page is fully editable with Elementor, allowing you to drag-and-drop elements to fit your brand. 
* **Mobile-First Navigation:** Features a "sticky" mobile menu and clear Call-to-Action (CTA) buttons like "Book Now" that stay accessible on small screens. 
* **Typography & Colors:** Built on **Bootstrap 5**, it offers 900+ Google Fonts and a detailed settings panel for global branding.

## 🛠️ Setup & Requirements 

To get Himara running at its best, ensure your server meets these 2026 standards: 

1. **WordPress:** Version 6.x or higher. 
2. **PHP:** Version 8.1+ (crucial for the booking system's security). 
3. **One-Click Demo Import:** After activating the theme, use the "Eagle Themes" dashboard to import your favorite demo. This will set up the pages, menus, and booking widgets automatically. 
4. **Payment Gateways:** While it supports standard PayPal and Stripe, it is also **WooCommerce compatible**, meaning you can use any local payment gateway available in the WooCommerce ecosystem.

## 🚀 Strategy for Hoteliers in 2026 

* **The "Direct Booking" Discount:** Use the Himara coupon system to offer a 10% discount to guests who book directly through your site instead of OTAs (like Booking.com). This pays for the theme many times over. 
* **Multi-Language Appeal:** Himara is **WPML and Polylang ready.** For international hotels, ensuring your booking engine translates into the guest's native language is the best way to increase conversions. 
* **Visual Trust:** Use the "Gallery Carousel" widget to show high-resolution photos of your rooms. In 2026, guests expect to see exactly where they will sleep. 
* **User Dashboard:** Enable the "User Dashboard" feature in Himara so repeat guests can log in, view their previous stays, and manage current reservations.
