A community TLD with a signed contract, still waiting for delegation. .hotel has an ICANN community registry agreement dated 6 June 2025 but is not yet present in the IANA root database. There is no launch calendar or verified retail preorder to publish.
.hotel is a restricted community TLD. Specification 12 limits registration to hotel-industry community members, including individual hotels, hotel chains and organizations representing them. Eligibility must be verified before the domain can be used for a website or email. A launch schedule and retail ordering terms are not yet announced.
ICANN contract in force; .hotel is classified as a community TLD.
The string must enter the IANA root before a launch schedule can operate.
No official startup dates filed.
No verified public booking route.
No registrar has published verifiable ordering terms for this launch. Generic waitlists without a named phase or clear conditions are excluded.
Budget for TMCH validation and registrar setup. A similar-looking generic term is not automatically an eligible exact match.
The access fee is one-time, but it buys only an earlier attempt. Premium registry pricing and standard registration can still sit underneath it.
Preorder terms, refund rules and submission timing differ. A free preregistration is often a notification, not a reservation.
If the registry has not set a date, neither do we. This helps you avoid premature orders based on unconfirmed estimates.
