Compare hotel prices booked 15 days vs 60 days in advance for each city. See whether booking early actually saves money and identify the optimal booking window.
Comparing Chicago at 3-star hotels. Pick another city or change the rating to see if early booking pays off.
Two lines show the average daily hotel price for the selected city — one for rooms booked 15 days ahead, one for rooms booked 60 days ahead. Hover any point on the chart to see the exact date and both prices.
The gap between the lines is the early-booking savings (or premium). The hero strip above shows that gap averaged across the whole visible date range.
Each line is an average across ~60 hotels of the selected rating, for 2 adults, 1 night, with breakfast included and a minimum review score of 7. Prices are in USD. Extreme-priced outliers are excluded before averaging, so a single unusual listing can’t distort a line.
On near-sold-out dates (e.g. a festival or conference), only a handful of expensive rooms remain, so that day’s figure is an unrepresentative surge price. These low-availability points are still plotted, but excluded from the average stats above — hover one to see why.
Pick a different City in the filter to switch the view. Change the Rating to compare 3-star vs 4-star behavior. Continent narrows the city list.
A point only appears on this chart when the same check-in date has both a 15-day and a 60-day booking in the database. If seeding started recently, it takes ~60 days of continuous seeding before the first overlapping date exists — the 15-day and 60-day windows have to meet in the middle.
