Everything about hotel pricing before you commit: when rates move, why they move, and how to tell a real deal from a rounded number.
There is no magic weekday. Hotel rates move because the property is repricing against its own remaining inventory, and that happens on its own schedule, not on a calendar you can memorise. What is reliably true: the rate you see today is one point on a line that keeps moving after you book.
So the practical answer is not „book on a Tuesday“. It is: book the flexible rate as soon as the price is acceptable to you, then keep watching it. That way you are never gambling on the price falling, and you are never locked out if it rises.
The articles below take that apart question by question — where the numbers come from, how often they change, and what a fair price for your dates actually looks like.
