Its deals section is constantly expanding into new territory. At the time of writing, Trip.com has a range of valuable deals on flights and hotels in East Asia. If you’re visiting South Korea or Taiwan, you can find more than a few steals.
Deals aside, Trip.com has one amazing promise: It works with name-brand hotel chains that you know and love to save you up to 15% on bookings. Even better, these deals are constantly updated for global destinations, from Dubai to Portugal to Australia.
Here’s what you need to know about saving on brand hotel bookings with Trip.com.
A closer look at how to book brand hotels via Trip.com
Don’t forget to check Trip.com’s deals section before you make a booking—it’s where you’ll find the platform’s biggest discounts. That being said, I’ve found that their brand hotel offers are also chock-full of great deals—especially for pricier destinations like Dublin and Hong Kong.
You can shop for mid-range hotels like Novotel or go all-in on luxury properties from Anantara. Most offers are in the mid-range category, offering budget-friendly prices.
Head to their brand hotels page, then click on your destination in the drop-down menu. You’ll see a list of available deals—but there are a few things you need to keep in mind about the prices that you’re seeing.
First, the website shows the cheapest rates on the brand hotel deals page. Click on the hotel, then check out the rooms available and their corresponding prices. Second, know that members get an extra 10% off, meaning the prices you see already have that discount added. Your total will be a little higher if you’re not a member.
Lastly, you can read through Trip.com user reviews at the bottom of the hotel’s profile. That lets you see what travelers like you (meaning those who also use Trip.com) felt about the stay. Remember: You’re in discount territory, meaning you should be combing through reviews to make sure you’re making the right purchase.
