Hotels.com is looking to the future and announced its goal to become the first online travel site to provide future hotel bookings in space. The brand launched a new landing page, with the witty name of 'One Small Step for Hotels' that images what these futuristic bookings might include. The new platform showcases a Space Suit Robe and Moon Boot Slipper set, a Supernova Wake Up Call, and a Meteor Minibar — all boasting a space-inspired aesthetic.
In addition to its futurist announcement, Hotels.com is also launching a new promotion, centered around its inter-galatic theme. If fans can prove they have one of the eight planets in their legal first, middle or last name, they could win a $250 Hotels.com gift card to be used now or in the future.
