Meet Bellboy, Hotels.com’s newest ambassador and the world’s first-ever “spokesbell.” Bellboy is a hotel desk bell come to life, with a passion for helping travellers maximise their budgets, elevate their adventures and unlock more rewarding travel experiences with Hotels.com. Measuring in at about 18 inches tall and boasting a signature melodic ding, while Bellboy may not be the tallest mascot in the game, he’s never short on confidence, charisma or savvy hotel tips. He’s sharing his best insider advice on social media and in the brand’s latest marketing campaign, which launches today.  

To celebrate Bellboy’s birthday, Hotels.com is launching its most rewarding sale ever. Until 26^th May, members save 25% or more on hundreds of thousands of hotels, plus earn 50% more rewards on bookings. 

Having grown up assisting travellers at hotel desks around the world, Bellboy has seen and heard it all, and he’s using his extensive hotel expertise to help travellers game the system. Whether it’s getting complimentary perks at top-rated VIP Access properties or scoring member-only discounts, Bellboy points out no-fuss shortcuts to getting unbeatable value with Hotels.com. 

“Here at Hotels.com, we’re no strangers to a mascot, and Bellboy fits right in because he’s just as obsessed with helping travellers make smart booking decisions as we are,” says Hari Nair, SVP and General Manager of Hotels.com. “For example, you may not know we have more than 35,000 last-minute deals on Hotels.com, or that you can now set up a price alert on the app to tell you when a hotel rate drops. Bellboy is going to make sure you know about these tools. It’s about helping people who love to travel get more value and rewards without the hassle.”

He’s confident, charismatic, cool, and always ready to help travellers become more hotel-savvy. Bellboy ensures that every stay is hassle-free and packed with value by informing travellers of Hotels.com’s tools and insider tips.  

“My friends always say I’m a bit hotel-obsessed. I prefer ‘hospitality visionary,’” says Bellboy, spokesbell for Hotels.com. “Few things bring me more pleasure than watching someone score a free room upgrade or enjoy the same pool for less money than everyone else. That’s why I’ve teamed up with Hotels.com, to help people save up to 20%, earn rewards and get more bang for their brass. Is that how the saying goes?” 

Starting today, fans can catch Bellboy shelling out Hotels.com tips and catchy jingles on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube and on the site and app. Over the coming weeks, Bellboy will begin appearing in Hotels.com’s marketing globally. 

Savvy Travel Tips 

Here are a few of Bellboy’s favourite hotel hacks: 

• Be the first to know when prices drop: With Hotel Price Alerts, a brand-new feature on the Hotels.com app, track hotel prices and get alerts when they drop.  

• Work the loyalty angle: It’s no secret; members get all the best deals. On Hotels.com, there are thousands of member deals up to 20% on the site. Plus, members enjoy richer savings during big sales and earn rewards on every stay. 

• Get treated like a VIP: Members enjoy complimentary perks like food and beverage credits, room upgrades and free parking when staying at VIP Access properties – an exclusive group of top-rated hotels known for exceptional quality and service. Gold and Platinum members also earn extra rewards from VIP Access bookings, up to 6%. 

• Spontaneous savings: No need to plan; procrastinators, “Type B” travelers and impromptu get-out-of-towners can always find a last-minute deal up to 20% on Hotels.com.
