Marian is a free Bootstrap 4 HTML5 hotel website template from Colorlib, distributed through ThemeWagon, built to give accommodation businesses a multi-page site with a booking form, blog, and a working PHP/AJAX contact form.
What is Marian?
Marian is a free, fully responsive HTML5 website template built on Bootstrap 4 for hotels, bed-and-breakfasts, and other accommodation businesses. It takes static HTML content as input—pages, images, blog posts, and booking information—and produces a complete multi-page website with a hero header, image slider, testimonials, blog section, and contact and booking forms. The template runs on any standard web server that can serve HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, plus PHP for the contact form; it was created by Colorlib and is listed for free download on ThemeWagon.
