Summer is winding down, but the deals aren't done yet. If anything, the beginning of September is when some of the best offers show up — call it a farewell-to-summer push before hotels shift into fall pricing. Forget standard percentage-off deals, too: this year, hotels are throwing in free nights, complimentary meals and even free theme park tickets.
Perhaps rising travel costs have something to do with it. Meanwhile, hotels are also getting more creative with perks to cater to travelers who crave experiences that are both memorable and Instagrammable. So whether you're squeezing in one more trip before the season ends or planning ahead for fall, here are the top hotel deals worth snagging right now.
Hotel deals from big brands

Other tricks for saving money on hotels in summer 2026
No matter where you’re headed, chances are there are some loyalty points promotions, hotel deals or special offers to help you save cash or enjoy more during your trip. And if not, don’t be afraid to call the hotel and politely ask if there are any deals.
Some loyalty programs through in an extra free night when redeeming points
Hilton offers the fifth night free on award reservations for Hilton Honors members with Silver status or higher. When you redeem Marriott Bonvoy points, you'll get the fifth night free, no matter what level of status you have.
IHG offers the fourth night free to all members who have one of the IHG's co-branded credit cards.
Book directly with the hotel
Many hotels offer better discounts when you book with them directly. For example, Ovolo Hotels is a Hong Kong-based chain (with no resort fees) operating boutique properties in Australia and Asia. Across all Ovolo properties, its perks include free breakfast, free self-service laundry, a gym, a complimentary in-room mini bar, candy in the lobby and a snack bag offered at check-in. The catch? You only get them when you book direct.
