30+ Hotels That Offer Senior Discounts

One great way to reduce travel expenses is by taking advantage of available discounts. For senior citizens, that means you can typically find a great deal during any time of the year. 
In this article, we’ll look at some popular hotels and chains that offer senior citizen discounts. I’ve followed up with each of these chains to verify the details of their senior discount, but be sure to call before booking to check for any exclusions.

Hotels That Offer Senior Discounts

Each of the hotels and hotel chains listed below offer a senior citizen discount that can help you get a better price than advertised. If you haven’t yet met the required age but you are an AARP member, be sure to mention that when booking. You may still be able to get the discount.

More Ways to Save

For the best prices on hotels, Clark recommends booking online through a discount travel site.

“I have obsessive-compulsive disorder when it comes to saving on hotels,” says Clark. “When I travel for work, I book 95% of my hotels through Priceline.com or Hotwire.com.”

Once you know when and where you’ll be traveling, take advantage of your senior discount on a refundable room. Then, check Priceline and Hotwire closer to when you’ll be traveling. If you find a better deal, cancel your original reservation.

Again, no matter where you decide to book, always call in advance to ask about prices for senior citizen discounts, AARP discounts or any other discounts you may be eligible for.
