How to book a Best Western hotel with crypto

trip1 lists Best Western Hotels & Resorts properties across all their brands and accepts 50+ cryptocurrencies at checkout.

  1. Search for your Best Western hotel on trip1 by typing the brand name, destination, or filtering by hotel chain

  3. Select cryptocurrency at checkout and choose your coin (BTC, ETH, USDC, LTC, DOGE, TRX, XRP, and more)
