What is Hotels Etc., and how is it different from public travel booking websites?

Hotels Etc. is a private membership-based travel and lifestyle savings program that provides access to exclusive member-only discounts not generally available through public travel booking websites.

Since 1996, Hotels Etc. has helped members save on hotels, resorts, vacation rentals, cruises, car rentals, entertainment, dining, shopping, and many other travel and lifestyle services. In addition to serving individual members, Hotels Etc. also works with businesses and organizations by providing employee benefit programs, membership enhancement solutions, and private membership platforms designed to increase employee engagement, retention, and customer loyalty.

The Hotels Etc. booking platform uses the same secure booking technology trusted by major public travel websites, making it easy for members to search and book travel online. The difference is that Hotels Etc. operates as a private membership program, providing access to wholesale and net-rate opportunities that are designed exclusively for eligible members rather than publicly advertised retail pricing.

Depending on the destination, travel dates, participating provider, and availability, members may receive substantial savings through the Hotels Etc. platform while enjoying the same convenient online booking experience they expect from leading travel websites.
