Today's businesses benefit from websites to reduce costs in activities such as obtaining customer opinions, informing customers, product promotion and product sales. In order to provide long-term sustainable competitive advantage, hotel businesses also use websites in their marketing activities. The aim of this study; The aim is to examine the websites of 5-star hotels in Turkey and Spain, to determine which features they include on their websites and whether there is a relationship between the features on the websites of hotel businesses between the two countries. The other aim of the study is to determine whether there is a relationship between the different business types (horizontal or non-horizontal integration) owned by the hotels and the features found on the websites. For this purpose, content analysis technique was used in the research. The data of the research were obtained by examining the contents of the web pages of 272 5-star hotel businesses in Turkey and Spain and analyzed with the correlation coefficients. As a result of the research, mostly positive (direct) correlation (81%) was found between the features found on the websites of different business types (horizontal or non-horizontal integration). It has been determined that there is mostly a positive (direct) relationship (60%) between the features found on the websites of the 5-star hotel businesses in the two countries.
