We’re glad you asked! Hotels want to reach business travellers, and companies with travelling workforces want the best rates they can get. Our platform brings everyone together to radically simplify trip management and give everyone exactly what they want.
Before, this type of lodging relationship was only possible for large and enterprise companies who had negotiating power and could afford expensive travel management software. However, by bringing multiple businesses together to form a collective, Hotel Engine can negotiate the same great rates the Fortune 500 guys get.
And, even better: because the properties are willing to give us a cut to be part of the network, we can keep it free for our business customers to use.
No contracts. No minimums. No catch.
We’re thrilled you’re ready to start saving time and money on trip management. To register your business for a Hotel Engine account, sign up here to give us a little information about you and your company so we can get you set up.
A Hotel Engine team member will follow up with you within one business day to confirm your new account.
We want our members to have plenty of options when booking lodging, and we currently have 700,000+ properties available on our platform. Hotel Engine offers rooms at many major hotel chains, and we are constantly adding new properties to our corporate travel programme.
We’re in the business of radically simplifying trip management for everyone — so great hotel rates should be accessible to everyone.
That’s why Hotel Engine is free to join and use — no contracts, no minimums, no catch.
We always want to keep the booking process as simple and straightforward as possible for our members — so we show all the known taxes and fees for each reservation at checkout.
When you request a change or cancellation, there may be associated fees at the discretion of the individual property — but Hotel Engine will not charge you for a booking cancellation if it falls within the property’s cancellation policy.
Individual property policies are displayed during the booking process. You can also find cancellation policy information in the “Important Information” section of your confirmation page.
If your business needs to keep travel plans flexible, consider opting into Flex.
When you select the Flex option at booking, you can:
If you’re within the property’s cancellation policy or if you added on Flex coverage to your reservation, you can cancel your booking with a few clicks and get funds back.
If you’re within the property’s cancellation policy, you’ll get refunded to your original form of payment. Flex cancellations will be refunded in the form of travel credit.
We get it: plans change! If you need to modify an upcoming reservation, there are two places on the site you can request the change:
You can change guest information, alter dates and add special requests. Hotel Engine will contact the property on your behalf to make the request and we will contact you with the status within one business day.
Our rates are based on double occupancy and your room is guaranteed to sleep up to two people — but additional adult guests may incur additional charges based on the property’s policies. If you wish to add more people to your reservation, we suggest calling the property directly to make sure you are within their policy guidelines.
Our Member Support team is here for you through every step of your journey, from booking to check-in and beyond. Chat, call, or email our support team anytime you have questions or need help — they’re available 24/7.

We know how important it is to have transparency into your travellers’ itineraries and schedules, so you’ll always receive an email confirmation of your travellers’ trips — as long as they have designated you as a travel arranger. The traveller will also receive the itinerary.
We’re dedicated to resolving any issues you experience as quickly as possible.

Reservations are not guaranteed on non-refundable reservations, unfortunately; it’s at the discretion of the individual hotel property. Adding Flex coverage at booking is the only way to guarantee that you’ll get credited for changes to non-refundable reservations.
Prior to leaving your room early or contacting Hotel Engine, you’ll need to check out at the front desk. Please note that early departures on non-refundable rates cannot be refunded; the only way to guarantee that you’ll get credited for changes to non-refundable reservations is to add Flex coverage when you book.
When possible, Member Support will help you extend your reservation. However, some reservation types can’t be extended, often because the hotel is oversold or the property has a policy that prevents it. For these types of reservations, our Member Support team can help create a new reservation so you can extend your trip.
The Member Support team is happy to contact the property about name changes; however, granting name changes is solely up to the discretion of the property.
