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). For a high-value stay, a stablecoin like USDC keeps the amount steady while the payment confirms, and Bitcoin works well over the Lightning Network.
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. The Ritz-Carlton 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.
