Hotel Bookings

No fee, same rate as booking direct

You pay the hotel's own rate, and I add my partner benefits. At most of my hotels that means daily breakfast, a hotel or resort credit, an upgrade when one is available, early check-in or late checkout when the hotel can do it, and VIP recognition on arrival.

Know where you want to stay? Book it yourself on my booking site.

Traveling with kids? Email me instead. The booking site lists every guest as an adult, so I book families myself.

Not sure yet? Tell me about the trip and I'll send you a few hotels I would look at.
