Ember — Premium Astro Theme for Boutique Hotels & Guesthouses
Ember is a distinctive, single-page Astro website theme designed for boutique hotels, guesthouses, bed-and-breakfasts, and intimate independent stays.
Created by Vlavera Studio, Ember combines architectural storytelling, atmospheric photography, elegant typography, and practical guest information to help independent accommodation brands present their property with character.
The fictional demonstration presents a nine-room boutique hotel in Yerevan, Armenia, built around a historic stone façade, warmly illuminated windows, and a quiet urban setting.

Important Information
Ember is a static, English-language website theme. It does not include a CMS, booking engine, live room availability, rate management system, or payment processing.
The enquiry drawer prepares a message for a guest to send. With email or WhatsApp destinations, it can pass the selected enquiry details to the external service. It does not independently submit a booking, reserve a room, or verify availability. Other contact destinations do not carry the enquiry selections.
Displayed room rates and property details are configurable content, not live booking data.
The fictional demonstration includes eleven AI-generated placeholder photographs that must be replaced with appropriately licensed media before commercial deployment. Demonstration guest quotes and hotel information are illustrative.
Deployment has been tested through Vercel's Git integration. Other deployment environments are not covered by the stated testing.
Ember is built for developers and creative studios seeking an editorial alternative to conventional hotel website templates.
