How to book a Choice hotel with crypto
trip1 lists Choice Hotels properties across their full portfolio and accepts 120+ cryptocurrencies at checkout. CoinGate, a MiCA-licensed EU payment provider, processes the transaction and settles with the hotel in fiat currency. Your reservation works the same as one made through any other booking channel.
- Search for your Choice hotel on trip1 by typing the brand name, destination, or filtering by hotel chain
- Pick your dates and room
- Select cryptocurrency at checkout and choose your coin (BTC, ETH, USDC, LTC, DOGE, TRX, XRP, and more)
- Scan the QR code or copy the wallet address, then send payment from your wallet
You get a confirmation email once the blockchain transaction settles. Check in at the Choice Hotels property as normal.
How payment works behind the scenes
When you pay with crypto on trip1, CoinGate converts your cryptocurrency to fiat and settles with the hotel. The hotel never sees crypto - they receive a standard payment. This means your Choice Hotels reservation is identical to one booked with any other payment method. No special check-in process, no issues at the front desk.
