Hotel Tonight

Hotel Tonight is a mobile-first travel agency that specializes in last-minute hotel bookings. It is a subsidiary of Airbnb and, therefore, a target for boycott.

Isreal and Apartheid

Hotel Tonight is owned by Airbnb, which is listed in the UN Database of businesses profiting from illegal Israeli settlements. This database, published in February 2020, resulted from an independent investigation into how these settlements violate Palestinian rights in occupied territories, including East Jerusalem, and their effects on the civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights of the Palestinian people.

By continuing to operate in occupied Palestinian territories, Hotel Tonight and its parent company, Airbnb, are legitimizing illegal occupation, profiting from human rights violations, including the displacement and exploitation of Palestinian resources. They have undermined peace efforts, ignoring the UN report for years, choosing profits over principles, Contributing to discrimination, supporting a system of inequality, and eroding Palestinian rights. Their operations contribute to the systematic denial of Palestinian civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights.
