Events Manager + Hotel Maps Pro
Hotel Maps Pro for Events Manager.
Events Manager takes care of bookings. Hotel Maps Pro takes care of where attendees stay: a map of hotels and rentals around each event’s location, with live prices for its dates.
Free. Works with the free version of Events Manager. Needs Hotel Maps Pro 2.1 or later and WordPress 6.8 or later.
What Events Manager Does
Events and bookings in one plugin.
Events Manager is a full-featured event calendar and booking system for WordPress, used for everything from small meetups to large events. The free plugin covers a lot.
- Bookings and registrationBooking forms, attendee lists, approvals and confirmation emails.
- TicketsSeveral ticket types, each with its own price and limit.
- Recurring and multi-day eventsRepeating series, and events that run over several days.
- LocationsSave a location once, with a Google map, and list events by location.
- Calendars and listsCalendars, search pages, lists and grids for your events.
- Add to calendarButtons for Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar and iCal.
Events Manager Pro adds online payments, PDF tickets with QR code check-in, and custom booking form fields.
The Missing Piece
Booked in. Now, where to sleep?
A booking confirms a place at your event. For anyone travelling, the next question is where to stay, and that usually means leaving your site to search somewhere else.
- Organisers keep lists of hotel links up to date by hand
- Attendees search for the wrong dates or the wrong part of town
- Rooms near the venue go first

Built for Events Manager
It reads your events, so you don’t have to.
Hotel Maps Pro uses what you’ve already saved in Events Manager: the event’s location and its dates.
Automatic on Every Event Page
Install and activate Hotel Maps Pro, and each upcoming in-person event shows a map. No maps to create, no shortcodes to paste.
Uses Your Location and Dates
The map is centred on the event’s location, using the address and map position Events Manager saves, and opens on the event’s dates.
Sensible Stays
One-day events check out the next day. Choose Arrive the Day Before if most people travel the night before.
Skips What Doesn’t Need It
Events with an online location or no location, and events that have finished, never show a map.
Control for Each Event
A Hotel Maps Pro box in the event editor: always show the map, hide it, or set different check-in and check-out dates.
Your Colours and Logo
Maps take your brand colours, logo and venue pin, set once in Hotel Maps Pro’s settings.

Questions about Events Manager.
Something else? Contact us or ask for support.
Does it work with the free version of Events Manager?
Yes. Hotel Maps Pro reads the location and dates that the free plugin saves, so you don’t need Events Manager Pro.
Will it change my bookings or tickets?
No. Hotel Maps Pro doesn’t touch bookings, tickets or payments. It adds a map below the event details, and attendees book their stay with the booking site they choose.
Can I choose where the map appears?
By default it sits below the event details, under a Where to Stay heading you can change. If you’d rather place it yourself, choose Only Where I Add the Shortcode and add this shortcode where you want it: [hotel_maps_pro event="current"]
What about online events?
Events with an online location, or no location, don’t show a map. Events that have finished don’t show one either.
Can I turn it off for one event?
Yes. Open the event and choose Hide in the Hotel Maps Pro box. You can also switch off maps for all events in Hotel Maps Pro > Settings > Event Plugins.
Is it really free?
Yes. There are no paid plans. We earn a commission from the booking site when an attendee books, and attendees pay the booking site’s usual price.
