9 SynXis Competitors & Alternatives.
SynXis is the hotel CRS now run by Aven Hospitality, the former Sabre Hospitality Solutions. Its competitors fall into two groups: other central reservation systems, and PMS-led platforms that independents pick instead. Below are both, plus the group + event sales layer no CRS quotes: wedding blocks, conferences, retreats.
What is SynXis?
SynXis is a central reservation system (CRS) and booking-engine platform for hotels, run by Aven Hospitality. It manages rates, inventory, and availability from one hub and sends them to the GDS, OTAs, and the hotel's own website. Aven says 35,000+ properties use SynXis CRS, with 600+ system connections and more than 100 certified APIs.
SynXis was part of Sabre until TPG bought Sabre's Hospitality Solutions business for $1.1 billion in a deal that closed on July 3, 2025. On January 27, 2026, the business renamed itself Aven Hospitality, still running on the SynXis platform. So “Sabre SynXis” and “Aven SynXis” are the same product.
It's built for scale: hotel groups and chains running large portfolios, with pricing quoted rather than published. What a CRS doesn't do is quote group and event business as one package: wedding room blocks, conferences, retreat groups. That's a different job, and it's why the list below ends with a sales layer rather than another CRS.

SynXis competitors: other central reservation systems.
- 01
Amadeus iHotelier CRS
Closest like-for-like CRSAmadeus's central reservation system controls availability, rates, and inventory with revenue management built in, and distributes across web, mobile, voice, travel-agent, OTA, and metasearch channels. Amadeus says a CRS isn't limited to large chains, and independents use iHotelier too. Pricing is quoted, not published.
- 02
Cendyn CRS (formerly Pegasus)
Best CRS paired with guest dataPegasus merged with Cendyn in 2021, and its central reservation system now sits beside Cendyn's guest-data platform, so rates, reservations, and guest profiles live with one vendor. Cendyn has been adding direct-booking payment options to the CRS, including Stripe and FreedomPay.
- 03
SHR (Access Hospitality)
Best for mid-size hotel groupsSHR, now part of The Access Group's hospitality division, sells a hotel CRS alongside booking engines, revenue management, CRM, and digital marketing. It reports more than 2,000 hoteliers in over 70 countries, with groups such as Millennium & Copthorne among its customers.

Everybooking
Best for group + event salesCovers the side a CRS doesn't: wedding room blocks, conferences, and retreat groups quoted as multi-line packages (rooms, meeting space, meals, activities) with each guest booking and paying their own share. Not a CRS and not connected to SynXis, so run it next to your CRS rather than instead of it.

SynXis FAQ.
- What are SynXis's main competitors?
- Among central reservation systems, the like-for-like competitors are Amadeus iHotelier CRS, Cendyn CRS (the former Pegasus), and SHR, now part of The Access Group. Independent hotels that don't need an enterprise CRS usually look at PMS-led platforms instead: Cloudbeds, Mews, SiteMinder, innRoad, and ResNexus. None of these quote group and event business as multi-line packages, which is the gap Everybooking fills next to any of them.
- Who owns SynXis now?
- Aven Hospitality. Sabre sold its Hospitality Solutions business, including SynXis, to the private-equity firm TPG for $1.1 billion; the sale closed on July 3, 2025. The business ran as Hospitality Solutions until January 27, 2026, when it took the name Aven Hospitality. It still runs on the SynXis platform, so older documents that say Sabre SynXis describe the same product.
- Is SynXis the right fit for me?
- Yes if you run many properties, sell through the GDS, OTAs, and your own site at volume, and have a revenue team to work rates and inventory from one hub. That is what SynXis is built for: Aven says 35,000+ properties use SynXis CRS. Look at the independent alternatives if you run one or a few properties, and add Everybooking if your harder problem is quoting group and event business rather than distributing nightly rooms.
- How much does SynXis cost?
- Aven Hospitality does not publish SynXis prices on its site. Ask for a quote that separates the CRS, booking engine, GDS distribution, and payments, since Aven sells each as its own product. Everybooking starts with an instant quote funnel at $97 a month plus $297 setup; the full setup is priced to your business on a short call. Different scope: SynXis distributes rooms; Everybooking quotes group and event sales.
- Does Everybooking replace my CRS?
- No. Everybooking is not a CRS; it is the group and event sales side a CRS doesn't cover. Wedding room blocks, corporate conferences, retreat groups: these are multi-line quotes where each guest books and pays their own share. SynXis distributes nightly inventory; Everybooking sells multi-night group packages and event space next to it.
- Can Everybooking and SynXis integrate?
- Not directly: Everybooking has no SynXis connection today. Its prebuilt integrations cover payments, CRM, and messaging (Stripe, Square, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Mailchimp, Twilio, and others), plus an official Zapier app. When a group books, your team enters the room block in your CRS or PMS as it does for any group today.
