February 5, 2019 - The Preferred Lodging Guide (PDF) effective for the period from October 2018 through December 2019 has been updated. See the last page of the Guide for the most recent updates. Preferred hotels must be confirmed through ADTRAV if available and within a reasonable distance of your business trip destination. If a preferred hotel is not available within a reasonable distance of your destination, any hotel can be selected provided the rate is at or below the GSA maximum lodging rate.
