How Hotwire works

Hotwire has special relationships with over 25,000 leading hotels worldwide. When these hotels have unsold rooms, they use Hotwire to fill them, so consumers get up to 50% off standard rates. Travellers wishing to take advantage of Hotwire Hot Rates are given information about the hotel’s star rating, amenities, neighbourhood and customer reviews of the hotel.  Once the room has been booked, the name of the hotel is revealed.

Hotwire offers Hot Rates to suit every budget and trip, so whether you are planning a late getaway family holiday in Florida, a weekend with the boys in Liverpool, to splash the cash in New York City or a gastronomic adventure in Madrid, Barcelona, or Paris, Hotwire has a plethora of affordable hotels on offer from well-known brands and independent hoteliers.
