Rolling out globally on the Hotels.com website and app, travelers can switch to a personalized business travel mode, find hotels that match their work travel preferences and earn rewards for future stays.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new tool comes at a time when business travel is growing. New research from Hotels.com found that more than one-third of Americans travel more frequently for work than they did before the COVID-19 pandemic.* &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Business travelers book differently than leisure travelers. They book last-minute, decide in minutes, and need flexibility above all else,&#8221; said Hari Nair, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Hotels.com. &#8220;For years, they&#8217;ve been quietly choosing Hotels.com anyway for the flexibility, the property selection and the rewards. Now we&#8217;ve built an experience that&#8217;s actually designed for how they travel, not just tolerant of it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What the Hotels.com business travel experience offers<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Business travel on Hotels.com is designed for those who book work trips on their own and want work travel to be simpler and more rewarding.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rebook a preferred hotel quickly<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Quick Rebook, business travelers can rebook a preferred hotel in a few clicks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Create a personalized business travel experience<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Travelers can select their preferred property features and amenities, from cancellation policy to maximum nightly rate. When business mode is switched on, Hotels.com uses those preferences to show pre-filtered results.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, preferences can include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fully refundable stays&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Breakfast included&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Gym&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Star-rating and guest-rating&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A maximum nightly rate based on company policy&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Earn rewards from work trips<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Members can earn rewards on business stays that they can use on future travel, turning nights booked for work into value they can use on their own time. Plus, with Save Your Way\u2122, you can choose how to save: Use your member discount to save at booking or bank that discount as rewards for a future trip \u2014 no blackout dates, no gimmicks. It\u2019s travel on your terms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Find flexible stays<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Travelers can filter for fully refundable stays to keep plans flexible, often allowing travelers to cancel up to 24-48 hours ahead of check-in.**&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Get support around the clock<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Customer service is available 24\/7 by chat and phone to help travelers make changes or get support with bookings. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Easily switch between leisure and business travel <\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Travelers can check a box at the start of a search to go into their personalized business travel experience. Either way, their trips and rewards remain together in one Hotels.com account.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Access member discounts<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Members save up to 20% on thousands of hotels, while Platinum members unlock even deeper discounts, making travel budgets go further.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Get hotel perks without hard-to-achieve status<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Members receive perks at VIP Access properties, with no high status threshold required. VIP Access hotels are highly rated by guests and offer benefits like room upgrades and food and beverage credits.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Business Travel Trends<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Business travel continues to grow and travelers are prioritizing booking experiences that deliver both efficiency and value. In fact, 37% of respondents report traveling more frequently today than they did prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Demand is especially strong in June and September as the busiest months for corporate travel. When staying in hotels for work trips, business travelers most value complimentary breakfast (49%), loyalty rewards (39%), and early check-in or late check-out options (37%).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Business travel on Hotels.com is available from 1 September 2026 through the Hotels.com website and app, where supported. Travelers can learn more at Hotels.com.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"489\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/HBT_WorkPref_en_US-489x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/HBT_WorkPref_en_US-489x1024.png 489w, https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/HBT_WorkPref_en_US-143x300.png 143w, https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/HBT_WorkPref_en_US-768x1609.png 768w, https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/HBT_WorkPref_en_US-733x1536.png 733w, https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/HBT_WorkPref_en_US-978x2048.png 978w, https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/HBT_WorkPref_en_US-1568x3284.png 1568w, https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/HBT_WorkPref_en_US.png 1652w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 489px) 100vw, 489px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Frequently asked questions about business travel on Hotels.com<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What are the new Hotels.com business travel features?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hotels.com\u2019s business travel feature is a personalized experience for self-booking business travelers.
