Pavilions premium hotel chain adds cryptocurrency payment option

The Pavilions Hotels & Resorts chain of boutique hotels of the highest category has added the ability to pay for room reservations with Bitcoin, Ethereum and 40 other cryptocurrencies.

The initiative was implemented in partnership with the Coindirect payment service.

It is assumed that in the future, the option will be integrated into booking aggregators. At the moment, payment is possible on the sites of the network.

“Expanding payment options, coupled with security and peace of mind for our guests, will enhance the personalization of our services” - explained Pavilions founder and owner Gordon Oldham.

The company's network consists of 14 locations in Europe and Asia, including Rome, Amsterdam, Madrid, Lisbon and Bali.

Recall that in July 2020, the tour operator Expedia and the blockchain booking service Travala introduced the ability to pay for rooms in 700,000 hotels in bitcoins.

In March 2021, Latvian airline airBaltic added the option to buy tickets for Ethereum, Dogecoin, Bitcoin Cash, USD Coin, Binance Dollar, Gemini Dollar and Paxos.
