HotelUrbano

HotelUrbano (later rebranded Hurb) was a Brazilian online travel agency founded in January 2011 by Joao Ricardo Mendes and headquartered in Rio de Janeiro, offering hotel bookings, flights, and flexible travel packages across domestic and international destinations. Once one of Brazil's largest OTAs and backed by investors including Insight Partners and Tiger Global, the company collapsed amid consumer-protection complaints: the Brazilian Ministry of Tourism revoked its Cadastur operating license on 14 April 2025 and the company ceased all operations on 25 October 2025. Its consumer domains (hotelurbano.com.br, hurb.com) no longer resolve and it publishes no public API, developer portal, SDKs, or OpenAPI. The only surviving public technical surface is its GitHub organization (hurbcom), which hosts engineering coding challenges and open-source utility forks rather than product APIs. This profile is retained as a historical/defunct-company record in the API Evangelist network.

HotelUrbano is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Travel, Online Travel Agency, Hospitality, and Hotels.
