Strategic Partnership Sets Stage for Professional Short-Term Rental Growth in Brazil
Guesty and 360 Suites Join Forces to Power Brazil’s Expanding STR Market
When most folks picture the world of short-term rentals, their minds jump to hotspots like Denver’s LoDo or Wash Park—places where property owners have learned that a little local savvy goes a long way. But if there’s one thing operators in Denver understand, it’s that every market brings unique challenges. That’s why the recent news coming out of Brazil feels so relevant, even halfway across the globe. Like our own scene, Brazil’s short-term rental landscape is riding a wave of rapid growth—and the need for true professionalization is clear.
Growing Demand, Growing Complexity
Brazil’s short-term rental market is on a fast climb, with projections showing a 9.6% annual growth rate through 2030. That pace doesn’t just mean more guests (and more competition); it means property owners and management companies have to get serious about how they operate. The days of juggling calendars manually or trying to respond to every guest message in five different languages just don’t cut it anymore—not in Denver, and certainly not in São Paulo or Rio.
For many hosts and professional managers, scaling up isn’t just about handling more bookings but also about staying on top of new technology and local rules. The challenge? Building out systems that are robust enough for big portfolios but flexible enough for the quirks of each city block, neighborhood, and region.
A Strategic Collaboration for Brazil’s Hosts
This is where the partnership between Guesty—a top-tier property management platform with a reputation for powering over 500,000 listings globally—and 360 Suites, one of Brazil’s largest and most respected hospitality management companies, makes such an impact. Instead of a one-size-fits-all tech solution, this partnership takes a service-first approach that puts local experience and expertise at the forefront.
Through this agreement, 360 Suites becomes Guesty’s official reseller in Brazil, unlocking the Guesty platform for local hosts and property managers. More importantly, it means operators in Brazil aren’t left to figure things out alone. 360 Suites will lead all the on-the-ground pieces: marketing, onboarding, and keeping customers growing strong—all while giving them the firepower of Guesty’s advanced platform as the operational backbone.
“Brazil’s short-term rental market is growing quickly, but growth alone isn’t enough. Operators here need technology that works at scale, paired with local expertise.” – Debora Beda, CEO of 360 Suites
What the Partnership Brings to the Table
So what’s in it for Brazil’s property owners and managers? For starters, Guesty’s platform brings portfolio-wide transparency and centralized control—think dashboard-level oversight across multiple listings, even for operators handling several locations at once. Each host and property management company (PMC) still gets the flexibility to tailor their approach in their own city or region.
360 Suites leverages Guesty’s “HQ” platform features, giving their teams the tools to support everything from onboarding to daily guest support. That means:
- End-to-end onboarding and tailored setup for property managers
- Dedicated guest communication and support in Portuguese
- Specialists in revenue management and OTA optimization
- A full suite of integrations—digital check-ins, check-outs, and seamless links with cleaning and maintenance providers
- Brazil-specific dynamic pricing algorithms to keep rates competitive and occupancy high
- Omnichannel, AI-powered guest messaging across major OTAs and WhatsApp—solving over 70% of guest requests instantly
Local operators now have access to a global tech stack and proven systems, but every step is guided by teams who know the lay of the land—from Rio’s beachside condos to high-rises in the heart of Curitiba.
Why It Matters: Local Know-How + Global Technology
This local-first approach isn’t just what the Brazilian market needs; it holds lessons for anyone managing a short-term rental today, whether in the Rocky Mountains or South America. Big platforms are great at handling the details—bookings, messaging, pricing, and coordination. But they can miss the nuances that make guests happy and keep operations running smoothly across totally different local contexts. If you’ve ever tried managing properties that face both blizzards and dusty autumns, you’ll get it. Local expertise turns technology from a blunt instrument into a real game-changer.
As Brazil moves into its next phase—more professionalism, more scale, more competition—the operators who succeed will be those who combine sharp, data-driven tools with a deep understanding of their neighborhood’s rhythms.
Inside Guesty’s Tech Edge
Guesty’s own narrative sounds familiar to anyone who values time-saving simplicity and strong results. Their platform isn’t just about keeping calendars tidy; it’s about driving bookings, maximizing revenue, and reducing headaches for both owners and guests. With integrations across Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Expedia, Tripadvisor, and even direct queries through Google Travel, their reach is wide.
What sets Guesty apart is the size of its R&D team and its ability to adapt the user experience for each local partner. By backing their toolkit with serious investment (over $400 million to date), they give operators a single place to manage every part of the rental process—from digital guest guides to dynamic pricing models, revenue dashboards, and a growing list of third-party integrations.
The result? Higher occupancy, stronger nightly returns, and a smoother experience for everyone involved. No more scrambling for last-minute cleaners or playing phone tag with guests who arrive at midnight looking for a key code. The headaches that used to come standard with running a vacation rental are fading into the background.
360 Suites: A National Player with Local Roots
It’s worth taking a closer look at 360 Suites, too. With more than 4,000 units under management across 15 states in Brazil, they’ve built a system that serves both leisure and business travelers—much like many Denver hosts who see seasonal swings and shifting guest profiles. Their model brings deep local knowledge and centralized operations together, helping owners see consistent returns and guests get reliable experiences.
By becoming Guesty’s reseller and implementation partner, 360 Suites can now offer both tech and personal expertise, making the process of joining the short-term rental world less of a leap of faith and more of a strategic (and profitable) move. Property owners in remote coastal towns or the bustling city centers can tap into the tools and team that make the difference when the market moves fast.
Looking Ahead: Brazil’s STR Market Steps Up
When a country’s vacation rental market starts to professionalize this quickly, success stops being just about who has the most listings. It becomes about who’s built the right foundation—systems that scale, teams committed to service, and local know-how to keep every stay running right. Guesty and 360 Suites are showing what that looks like on a national stage, and chances are, their approach will spill over into more markets as technology continues to close the gap between local and global best practices.
So whether you’re mapping out rental operations in Cherry Creek, prepping for ski season bookings in Breckenridge, or just watching international trends, there’s a lesson here: the strongest teams are the ones that blend great technology with boots-on-the-ground experience. And that’s the combo that’s setting the pace for the next era of short-term rentals—wherever home happens to be.
