Can I use Avios to pay for hotels?

Hotel stays Spend your Avios on great deals at thousands of hotels around the world.



Yes, you can use Avios to pay for hotel stays through the British Airways, Qatar Airways, and Iberia portals. When booking through the "Executive Club" or "Avios Hotels" websites, you have the option to pay for your room entirely with Avios or use a "Part Payment" method, combining Avios with cash to reduce the total price. This can be a great way to use "orphan" points that aren't enough for a full flight reward. However, travel experts often note that using Avios for hotels generally provides a lower value per point (often around 0.5 to 0.6 cents) compared to redeeming them for high-value Business Class flight upgrades or "Reward Flight Saver" tickets. If you have a surplus of points and want to save on out-of-pocket costs, it is a convenient option, but for maximum value, flights remain the superior choice.
