Hotel Maps Pro for The Events Calendar.

Free. Works with the free version of The Events Calendar. Needs Hotel Maps Pro 2.1 or later and WordPress 6.8 or later.
What The Events Calendar Does
A great home for your events.
The Events Calendar is one of the most widely used events plugins for WordPress. The free plugin gives you everything you need to publish and manage events on your own site.
- Events in minutesCreate events from the WordPress editor, with block editor support.
- Saved venues and organisersEnter a venue once and reuse it for every event held there.
- Month, list and day viewsA calendar visitors can browse, search and filter.
- A map of the venueA Google map of the venue on each event page.
- Add to calendarGoogle Calendar and iCal export, so attendees keep the date.
- Search-friendly eventsStructured data (JSON-LD) that helps search engines read your events.
Events Calendar Pro and other add-ons add features such as recurring events, and the free Event Tickets plugin adds tickets and RSVPs.
The Missing Piece
Then attendees ask: where should we stay?
Your event page tells people where and when. For anyone travelling, the next job is finding a bed nearby, 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 The Events Calendar
It reads your events, so you don’t have to.
Hotel Maps Pro uses what you’ve already saved in The Events Calendar: the venue, its address and the event’s 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 Venue and Dates
The map is centred on the venue you saved in The Events Calendar and opens on the event’s dates, so nobody books the wrong night.
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
Online events and events that have finished never show a map, so your past events stay tidy.
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 The Events Calendar.
Something else? Contact us or ask for support.
Does it work with the free version of The Events Calendar?
Yes. Hotel Maps Pro reads the venue and dates that the free plugin saves, so you don’t need Events Calendar Pro or any other add-on.
Do I have to create a map for each event?
No. Each event page builds its own map from the event’s venue and dates. You can still create separate maps for other pages with the Hotel Maps Pro block or shortcode.
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 no venue are treated as online and 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.
