What to expect for FedRooms as we turn to 2024
The end of the calendar year is a busy time for our team. As you start to make your plans for travel in 2024 here’s what you can expect.
New Hotels and New Cities
New properties and rates will be available for our 2024 hotel program starting on January 1, 2024. We are expecting to have about 11,000 participating hotels in the FedRooms program in 2024, an increase from about 10,000 in 2023.
Expect More Electric Vehicles Chargers at Hotels
Hotel companies are adapting and embracing electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at their locations.
Hilton has been leading the charge in electric vehicle advancements recently announcing that they will roll out 20,000 electric vehicle chargers across 2,000 hotels in the U.S and Canada and Mexico as part of an expanded partnership with Tesla. The chargers will be compatible not just with Tesla vehicles but with any North American EV model. Marriott has also gotten into the electric vehicle game with over 5,500 EV chargers now installed at Marriott properties worldwide, including 1,700 level-three fast chargers. Marriott has accelerated their charger plans by partnering with EV Connect to help streamline their installation process at Marriott properties around the world.
Multipurpose Hotel Spaces
Many hotels are adding more communal spaces for socializing during happy hours or breakfast and dedicated remote working spaces to provide guests options outside of their rooms. Expect to see more of these multipurpose spaces as new hotels get built and renovated in the coming year.
