Gondola
Dover, Delaware, United States
What it is
Gondola is an AI-powered travel concierge for searching hotel rates and rewards, tracking bookings for price drops, and gathering loyalty details. It searches Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, IHG, and Accor, showing cash and points rates together. Its scoring takes a traveler’s loyalty status, credit cards, and preferences into account. Hotel bookings made through Gondola go directly to the hotel and may earn hotel points, status nights, credit card points, and 3–7% Gondola Cash based on status tier. AutoSave can rebook eligible refundable hotel stays when rates fall, but only monitors Hilton and award stays. A dashboard brings loyalty balances, status progress, and upcoming stays together. With permission, Gondola uses Gmail travel emails to build a travel profile and says raw emails are not stored on its servers. It is free for travelers, with no subscription, extra booking, or hidden fees; some non-commissionable rates do not earn Gondola Cash. Its free MCP server works with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code, but requires a Gondola sign-in. Gondola says its data is encrypted and users can delete their account and data.
