Introducing STAY Academy: our new training platform | STAY

At STAY, we’ve always been committed to helping hotels deliver exceptional guest experiences. 

Over the years, we’ve witnessed firsthand how crucial it is for hotel professionals to have the right tools, knowledge, and skills to succeed in today’s fast-paced industry.

That’s why I’m incredibly excited to announce the launch of STAY Academy, a free, online platform designed to empower you and your team to master the STAY`s Guest Experience OS and take your operations to the next level.

But before I dive into the details of what STAY Academy has to offer, let me share the “why” behind its creation.

Why did we created STAY Academy?

As hotels become more tech-driven and guest expectations continue to rise, we knew it wasn’t enough to simply provide a great platform. 

We wanted to go a step further and ensure that everyone using STAY—from hotel managers to front desk staff—had the opportunity to fully unlock the potential of our tools.

We spoke with many of our valued partners, and one message came through loud and clear: Education matters. We believe that education is the key to unlocking extraordinary guest experiences. 

STAY Academy was born from this need—a place where hotel teams can come to learn, grow, and thrive in their careers while maximizing the value STAY brings to their day-to-day operations.

What is STAY Academy?

STAY Academy is our brand-new training platform. It’s a free, 100% online learning hub where you and your team can access professional courses and certifications that are tailored specifically for hotel professionals like you.
