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 travelers maximize 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 its Summer Getaway Sale. Through May 26, members save 25% or more on hundreds of thousands of hotels.  

Having grown up assisting travelers at hotel desks around the world, Bellboy has seen and heard it all, and he’s using his extensive hotel expertise to help travelers 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 travelers 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 travelers become more hotel-savvy. Bellboy ensures that every stay is hassle-free and packed with value by informing travelers 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?” 

 In the coming weeks, Bellboy will start appearing in Hotels.com’s marketing globally and on the site and app, helping travelers save with the Summer Getaway Sale.
