[Hotels.com](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-beach-motelier) is looking to the future and announced its goal to become the first [online travel site](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotelscom-introduced) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-tuesday-deals), 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.
