How to book a Novotel hotel with crypto
Novotel is part of Accor's portfolio, and trip1 lists these properties alongside every other hotel in its inventory. You choose crypto at checkout, and CoinGate - a MiCA-licensed payment provider supervised by the Bank of Lithuania - handles the transaction. You do not need a wallet account with trip1.
- Search for Novotel on trip1 by typing the brand name or your destination
- Pick your dates, then choose the room and rate that suit you
- Select crypto at checkout and pick your coin - Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDC, Litecoin, and more
- Scan the QR code or copy the wallet address, then send the exact amount from any wallet
- Wait for the transaction to confirm on-chain - your confirmation email arrives right after
Bring the confirmation to the front desk and check in as usual. Staff at the Novotel property see a standard prepaid reservation.
Which cryptocurrencies can I use?
trip1 accepts 120+ cryptocurrencies through CoinGate, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USDC, Litecoin (LTC), XRP, Solana (SOL), Dogecoin (DOGE), and TRON (TRX). Many coins support more than one network, so you can pick a cheaper or faster option - the Lightning Network for Bitcoin, or a Layer 2 like Arbitrum or Base for Ethereum.
Important: Check the blockchain network shown in the payment window before you send. Crypto sent on the wrong network cannot be reversed or recovered.
How payment works behind the scenes
CoinGate converts your crypto to fiat currency and settles with the hotel. Novotel never receives crypto, which means there is no exchange-rate risk on their side and no special process at check-in. The price you agree at checkout is the price you pay.
