What Gondola is
Gondola is an AI-powered travel concierge that searches rates, rewards, and trips, and monitors bookings for price drops. Its hotel searches cover Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, IHG, and Accor, with cash and points rates shown side by side. It scores rates using a traveler’s loyalty status, credit cards, and preferences. Bookings made through Gondola are processed directly with the hotel and can earn hotel points, status nights, card points, and 3–7% Gondola Cash based on status tier. AutoSave can rebook eligible refundable hotel stays at lower rates; Hilton and award stays are monitored but not automatically rebooked. Flight discovery is available through the MCP, where results are discovery-only; fare monitoring is available to Silver and Gold members for eligible airlines. A dashboard combines loyalty balances, status progress, and upcoming stays. With permission, Gondola uses Gmail travel-related emails to build a profile and says it does not store raw emails on its servers. Gondola and its MCP are free; MCP use requires signing in to Gondola.
