Seats are one of our favorite tools to search for reward flights, and its sister website Rooms.Aero is convenient to find hotel rewards.
If you use multiple hotel loyalty programs and collect transferable currencies like me, Rooms.aero is an easy way to aggregate all hotels in your destination. I found the site particularly useful for planning to travel to remote destinations such as national and state parks and for mapping road trips.
Here is everything you need for all the rooms you need to know.

How to use the room.
Rooms.Aero searches in five major hotel programs – Select Privileges, Hilton Honors, World of Hyatt, IHG Rewards and Marriott Bonvoy – showcase all your choices in one place.
For example, I have been on a road trip to various national parks in Utah. I can search the entire status and adjust the map to the area I am interested in.
The result is color-coded based on the values you get per point: green means huge value, blue is good, yellow is average, red is different.
For example, Hyatt Place Page / Lake Powell is considered a great value, with my dates at $342 per night or 18,000 a night. That’s 1.9 cents per point, higher than TPG’s June 2025 valuation at 1.7 cents.
You can filter by point program and maximum points per night using the drop-down word in the upper left corner. Unlike seats, you don’t need a professional account to search for more than 60 days.

If you click on the Hotel, you will see a calendar page with more information on monthly attributes and points and cash rates. You can then filter by nighttime quantity, point price, and value for each point.
You can explore options rather than looking for specific accommodation. Click Explore on the home page and select your program in the drop-down list. You can then filter by night, hotel brand and category, country, price and value.
Here I explored the Hyatt Regency for four nights in several Caribbean countries.
I usually find the search function more useful than exploring, but it can be a fun way to do a last-minute vacation on the key points.

How to set up alerts and find free nighttime certificate availability
As I mentioned, Rooms.Aero shines for travelers who do not comply with any hotel plans and have transferable. However, the hotel alert feature of this website may be useful even for the most loyal hotel guests.
You can set alerts to notify you when a specific hotel is available (or any hotel in the city of your choice). This is especially useful if you are watching a limited supply rate, or have a free night certificate with the maximum point value.
Here is a sample alert for Waldorf Astoria Ithaafushi, a high-end Hilton hotel with infamous limited rewards. If you can find the opening for the standard room reward, this is a great place to use the Hilton free night certificate.
Because I have a professional account, it can unlock other features indoors. With a basic account, your alerts are limited to a single date only.
Other professional features include the Marriott Certificate Finder, which allows you to choose which free night certificate you have and whether you want to top it for up to 15,000 points. I have a certificate of 50,000 points that will expire soon, so I searched our hotel in the hotel I can use.
It’s a neat feature, but a little clumsy, as you can’t search by date, you can only search for one country at a time. Hopefully this tool will improve and add certificate finders for programs like Hilton Honors and World of Hyatt.

Bottom line
The main disadvantages of the room. Aero is it covers only five of the most popular hotel plans (for now). For example, if you collect points for ACCOR Unlimited, Best Western Rewards, or Wyndham Rewards, this tool will not help.
Still, I’ve got a lot of uses on the website. I can quickly see which point properties (if any) are in my desired destination, saving me time in searching otherwise. Between the Pro features I mentioned above and other flight search features, I think a Pro account is worth it ($9.99 per month or $99.99 per year).
