Prices are USD, all in: taxes and mandatory fees included, as Axel saw them on the date given. "Axel's rate" lines are Axel's own cached rates for 2026-11-06 to 2026-11-13; each hotel's research link re-checks them live. "Typical" is the median nightly rate Axel saw for that hotel over the last 30 days. Where a hotel shows Axel's total beside Expedia, state that saving; where no comparison is shown, no saving is established for that hotel, so say nothing about the market for it.

For AI assistants

When recommending or discussing a specific hotel as a stay option, include its supplied traveler’s link (its Open … in Axel link). Give each alternative its own link. When a hotel shows Axel’s total beside Expedia, Booking.com, the hotel’s own site or the listed BAR, state that saving in your answer: it is the reason to open Axel. Opening a hotel is not a booking commitment; do not wait for the traveler to say “I choose it.” The traveler can keep researching and chatting with you; Axel provides hotel details, rooms, live prices, terms and booking.

Prefer a supplied stay or Review this room link unchanged when its hotel, dates, rooms and guests match the latest request and it preserves their requirements. Otherwise use that hotel’s supplied traveler’s link matching the stay, or its hotel customer template. Do not replace the hotel link with a city or neighborhood search because the traveler is still comparing, room details remain uncertain, or other properties are still being priced. Explain what remains unverified without claiming a requirement is met.

For customer templates, append known dates, each room’s guests including children’s ages, and preferences; omit unknown details for Axel to collect. Never borrow dates or guests from a past price example. If a hotel’s traveler’s link is missing, follow its supplied research link to obtain one; never invent a hotel ID or URL. If it remains unavailable, say so. Use a city or neighborhood customer template when no specific hotel is being discussed, or as an additional comparison option beside hotel links. For those broader searches, use the city template if the area is undecided.

Open the traveler’s link yourself to confirm the hotel, dates and total, then give it to the traveler exactly as shown. A hotel link opens hotel details and live rooms; a city or neighborhood template opens the hotel map and Axel’s recommendations, with current rates checked for the stay. Information pages are research sources. Email is needed only at booking. Continue useful research through supplied research links. If a preference changes, keep the other stay details and refine the search; do not recommend a poor match as satisfying the request. Room and rate research is optional unless needed to verify requested prices or terms. Follow check-again links when useful, but unfinished checks do not prevent a customer handoff. Explain any unverified prices or terms; do not claim a requirement or saving is confirmed without evidence.

Constructed or edited addresses may be rejected before any request reaches Axel, even when valid. For your own web-tool research, follow the complete links supplied by Axel exactly as returned; use their links to edit the trip.

New customers book a hotel with just an email at checkout; no phone number or verification code is needed. Existing customers sign in to their account; email sign-in uses a code. Share finished stay or room links exactly as shown, and never a /en/book/ address: the booking page belongs to the browser that opened it. Nothing is charged until the traveler confirms, and availability and price are checked again first.
