What is HotelPlanner?
HotelPlanner is a website where hotel and travel vendors can post nightly rates for their rooms and services. It guarantees the lowest prices if you book ten rooms or more at once; when there’s a discrepancy between group rates negotiated by HotelPlanner and a hotel’s posted promotional rates, the hotel is contractually obligated to adjust its rate for HotelPlanner users. Once you book a room, HotelPlanner isn’t involved in further transactions.
How does HotelPlanner work?
To book a stay on the HotelPlanner site, you’ll input your specifications, such as:
- Destination
- Dates
- Group type
- Estimated number of rooms
- Budget range per night
- Ideal star rating
Based on your selections, HotelPlanner contacts hotels for you and sends quotes within 48 hours. It also offers a list of hotels it didn’t contact in case you’d like to pursue other suitable options. Then you can contact hotels, decline bids or book instantly through HotelPlanner’s portal. The site also lets group members pay separately for their rooms. If you book and pay through HotelPlanner, your hotel won’t ask for payment at checkout (except for incidentals).
HotelPlanner fees
HotelPlanner doesn’t charge travelers any fees for its services; it makes money by taking a referral fee from hotels and service vendors. To make sure you pay no more than necessary when booking for a group, HotelPlanner advises searching for one room at a time, as hotels often allocate a limited number of rooms at a transient rate. Once you find a good rate, increase the number of rooms and see if the same rate is still available.
HotelPlanner FAQ
Can I make changes to my HotelPlanner reservation?
It depends on what you want to change and when, but any changes must be made through a HotelPlanner representative rather than the hotel or service provider. Read your confirmation email for more information.
Where is HotelPlanner available?
HotelPlanner is available for booking all major hotels in the U.S. and in many destination cities abroad. It has a network of more than 55,000 hotels domestically and almost as many internationally.
Is HotelPlanner safe?
HotelPlanner uses a secure commerce server that encrypts credit card numbers and doesn’t release your personal information to hotels.
Can you make group reservations with HotelPlanner?
Yes. HotelPlanner specializes in group reservations and lets you book in blocks — most hotels won’t offer a HotelPlanner quote for fewer than nine rooms.
Still have questions?
Is HotelPlanner legit?
HotelPlanner is a legitimate resource for professional event planners or large event coordinators. That said, make sure you’re familiar with the company’s cancellation policy and refund conditions and procedures. If you’re coordinating hotel arrangements for others, we advise that you thoroughly review your reservation form, retain all receipts and let your group know what to expect.
