Save money on business travel accommodations

The best hotels for business travelers tend to be those with comfortable beds, stable internet connection, reduced noise, hot breakfast, and a dedicated place to work, either in the room or in common areas. Companies often also have policies about which accommodation types are suitable for employees, so these should be consulted too.

Booking.com for Business gives you the option to book with all the major chains, as well as smaller regional chains around the world. You can save up to 20% on select stays with the Genius loyalty program.

Different trips require different stays. It's best to consider what you'll be doing during your business trip, where you'll be traveling, how long you'll be there, and if you'll have to rent a car. For example, if traveling for a longer stretch, you may want to stay in an apartment or home where you can prepare meals for yourself. For shorter stays or if you have lots of meetings and outings, a city center hotel with restaurants on site or close by might work well.

Having variety is one of the best ways to save money on hotels for business trips. That way you're not stuck choosing between just two or three options that might be too expensive or lack the amenities you want. When you use Booking.com for Business, you can select from over three million properties, including a wide range of accommodation types like hotels, apartments, B&Bs, and home rentals.

You can also save with the Genius loyalty program. Signing up for Booking.com for Business gives you access to Level 1 or an instant 10% discount on select stays. Each booking counts toward your progress to the next level for bigger discounts and rewards like free breakfast and room upgrades.

You can book accommodations for groups of up to 30 people in one booking. To simplify the group booking process, you have the option to enter just one name across all rooms. For example, if you’re arranging the booking, you can include just your name. When your travelers arrive at the property later, they’ll give your name to check in. It’s a useful benefit if one traveler takes another’s place.

By setting hotel budgets in Booking.com for Business, you let your team know their accommodation spending limits for different countries and cities. They get the flexibility to choose within budget, and you get better compliance with your company’s travel policy.
