Best Black Friday Hotel Deals 2022
Here are some of the best Black Friday hotel deals that we saw in 2022.
Booking.com
If you’re not trying to book directly through a hotel chain, you can find great Black Friday deals through discount sites like Booking.com. Their 30% off deal was available through Dec. 1, 2022, and you had to complete your stay by Dec. 31, 2023.
Expedia
Expedia was another discount site that gave 30% off to Black Friday shoppers in 2022. Plus, you’d get double rewards points for each stay you booked during this sale.
To take advantage of this pricing, you would have to book your travel through Nov. 28, 2022. The actual hotel stay had to happen by June 30, 2023, in order to qualify.
Extended Stay America
For Cyber Monday, Extended Stay America gave you 60% off hotel bookings — no promo code required. This was even better than their previous Thanksgiving sale, which only gave you 55% off.
Hotels.com
The discount site Hotels.com tends to have some of the lowest rates around to start with. And for Black Friday? They got even better.
Hotels.com offered up to 30% off their already-low rates for travel booked through Nov. 28, 2022. Your hotel stay had to happen before June 30, 2023, in order to qualify.
TIP: Be sure to check out the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday flight deals.
Hyatt
For Black Friday 2022, you could get up to 20% off your stay at participating Hyatt locations!
Your stay would need to happen between by April 30, 2023, in order to qualify.
Kimpton
Kimpton launched their Cyber Week sale early! And calling it a “week” is shortchanging it — this sale ran through Dec. 5, 2022.
During this timeframe, any stays booked for dates between Nov. 25, 2022, and April 30, 2023, at participating locations would be 10% – 20% off the Best Flexible Rate.
There is a catch: You had to be an IHG One Rewards member. Luckily, joining this program is free.
On top of your discount, Kimpton also donated $5 to No Kid Hungry for every night of your stay. So your travel wasn’t just cheaper — it did some good, too!
Marriott
Marriott’s Black Friday sale is was a good one. It gave you 20% off stays booked for Jan. 1, 2023, through June 30, 2023, when you used promo code LPR at checkout. The sale only lasted for a few days.
Radisson
Radisson offered up to 30% off all bookings placed through Nov. 29, for stays between Dec. 19, 2022, and April 30, 2023.
The base deal was 20% off. Everyone got 20% off.
But if you were a Radisson Rewards Americas member, you’d get another 10% off at checkout, adding up to a grand total of 30%. For any future sales, you might as well sign up for the program. It’s free to join.
IHG
IHG’s Black Friday sale was just okay. They didn’t give you as much of a discount as some of their competitors — it was only 10% off. BUT, it could be combined with the Advance Saver Discount and the Book Early and Save Discount, which means it stacked up to be competitive.
You’d get 10% off for the Advance Saver Discount and 10% off for the Black Friday sale — for a cumulative savings of 20% off — when you booked an IHG property in one of these regions:
- U.S.
- Canada
- Japan
- Asia-Pacific
- HK Special Administrative Region of PRC
- Macau Special Administrative Region of PRC
- TW Province of PRC
In the following regions, the Book Early and Save Discount and the Black Friday sale also added up to a grand total of 20%
- Mexico
- The Caribbean
- Latin America
- Southeast Asia
- Korea
- India
- The Middle East
- Africa
- (Some) U.S. hotels
If you were booking a hotel in Europe, the Book Early and Save Discount was 15% off. Which means when you stacked it on top of the Black Friday sale, you’d get a total of 25% off.
The travel time frame on this offer was rather short — you had to book your stay between Nov. 2022 and Feb. 28, 2023. You had until Dec. 2, 2022, to take advantage of this offer.
If you’re thinking about looking for a good deal on a stay at an IHG property, you may have to be an IHG One Rewards member. But don’t worry — becoming a member is free.
TIP: Specific IHG properties may have even further Black Friday sales during Cyber Week. Be sure to stack those sales, too!

Is Black Friday a good time to book travel?
Generally speaking, yes. Black Friday is a good time to book travel. It’s usually the best for flexible travelers who don’t have their hearts set on a specific hotel or set-in-stone travel dates. That’s because not every hotel, cruise line, or all-inclusive resort participates in Black Friday. Plus, most Black Friday travel deals have date restrictions.
For example, let’s say you wanted to go to Miami Beach. The specific hotel you’re looking at doesn’t have any Black Friday deals, but the one three doors down does. You’d wanted to go during Spring Break, but you’re flexible, so you head down to the sunny shores in February to score the Black Friday pricing.
Will there be travel deals on Cyber Monday?
Of course! You can find plenty of travel deals on Cyber Monday. A lot of the hotel and cruise packages listed above are available not only on Black Friday but also all the way through Cyber Monday and beyond.
