How to save on hotel bookings

Eight practical ways to spend less on hotels, wherever you're headed.

1. Use a verified promo code

The fastest way to reduce your hotel cost is to apply a promo code at checkout. ZenHotels offers six active codes, from $5 off a first booking to $50 off bookings over $1,000. Find the codes above and copy the one that matches your booking value.

2. Book in the mobile app for app-exclusive rates

The ZenHotels app regularly shows rates that are not available on the website. Promo codes also require the app, so download it and get access to both exclusive pricing and code discounts.

3. Travel on off-peak dates

Check-ins from Tuesday through Thursday and travel during off-peak months — typically January through February and October through November in most destinations — cost significantly less than weekend or peak-season stays.

4. Choose non-refundable rates when your plans are firm

Non-refundable rates are typically 5–15% cheaper than refundable rates for the same room. If your dates are confirmed, choosing non-refundable rates is a straightforward way to pay less.

5. Stay three or more nights

Many accommodations apply automatic long-stay discounts for stays of three nights or longer. The nightly rate is often lower, and combining a longer stay with a promo code can increase the savings.

6. Stay slightly outside city centers

Hotels one or two transit stops from the city center often cost less than similar accommodations in central locations. You may get comparable room quality, with the main difference being the address.

7. Set a target price and revisit

Hotel prices fluctuate based on remaining inventory and demand. If a rate seems high today, note your target price and check again in a few days. Flexible travelers who monitor prices consistently pay less.

8. Check last-minute rates close to departure

Hotels with unsold inventory close to the arrival date often reduce rates to fill rooms. If your plans are flexible, checking rates one to three days before travel can yield significant discounts on stays that are usually more expensive.
