New Lodging Tool for State-Funded Travel


The Statewide Procurement Division has awarded a contract that changes how UTA employees book lodging. Travelers at UTA using state funds are now required to use Hotel Engine to book lodging. Hotel Engine is optional when traveling using local funds.


Hotel Engine is a private hotel booking platform that connects State of Texas travelers to rates unavailable to the public and streamlines business travel management. It also offers 24/7 customer support services, a simple search and book process, and customized account management tools.


Hotel Engine has provided the link below for quick access to UTA’s Business Account:

*Previous instructions regarding requesting an account should be disregarded.

Hotel Engine is only to be used for making business-related travel reservations. Usage requires a personal credit card or a University Travel Card. Any personal or leisure travel is strictly prohibited. Fund codes beginning with a two indicate state funds, for example: 2XXX. Any other fund code indicates local funds.
