Best credit card to use at Sonesta.
Hotels
Sonesta has expanded rapidly into one of the larger US hotel groups, spanning brands from extended-stay to upscale resorts after several portfolio acquisitions. Room charges code as a hotel or travel purchase, fitting a card with a hotel or general travel bonus. Booking direct usually keeps Sonesta Travel Pass loyalty intact, while a card portal may trade those perks for extra points.
