Scroll down to read about each one and the remote job offered.
1 – Best Western
Best Western sometimes has a remote customer service representative position listed on their website. While the position is entry-level, you do have to be based in the state of Arizona (where their headquarters is located) to qualify. But the position is work at home.
Pay and benefits information is not always listed, so check the careers page directly for current details.

2 – Hilton Worldwide
Hilton hires remote reservation and customer care agents to make and change hotel reservations for guests worldwide. This is one of the more accessible remote hotel jobs out there!
Hilton has expanded its remote hiring significantly and is currently hiring from 26 states, including AL, AR, DE, FL, GA, ID, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, MI, MS, MO, NE, NH, NC, OH, OK, SC, TN, TX, UT, VA, WI, and WY.
Pay starts at around $12-$13 per hour, and Hilton provides a computer (you supply your own monitor). Paid virtual training is included, and benefits are available for full-time positions.
There are also freelance travel writing and food writing jobs (restaurant critiques) for Hilton Worldwide on sites like Indeed, ProBlogger, and FlexJobs from time to time. These jobs will vary in pay rates.
Check Hilton's careers page regularly, as openings come and go.
3 – HotelPlanner
This company doesn't offer jobs through a specific hotel chain. Instead, they pay you to set up reservations for large groups at all kinds of hotel chains.
If a call you accept results in a hotel booking, you earn a commission that is based on the booking profit after the guest checks out.
The job is commission-only, but the company states up to $30 hourly is possible. Most people apparently do average at least $15.

4 – Hyatt
Hyatt hires remote Guest Service Associates to handle inbound reservation calls from guests looking to book stays at Hyatt properties. This is a fully remote position with training also done from home. There is no need to go into an office at any point.
The role is customer service and sales focused. You'll help guests book rooms, answer questions about properties, upsell amenities, and enroll guests in Hyatt's loyalty program. Hyatt sets specific performance metrics, so it does require some comfort with a sales-oriented environment.
Requirements include strong verbal communication skills, the ability to multitask across multiple screens, and a reliable broadband internet connection (DSL, cable, or fiber — satellite is not allowed).
Check Hyatt's careers page for current openings, as hiring happens in waves with specific training start dates.
5 – Engine (formerly HotelEngine)
Engine (previously known as HotelEngine) is a travel tech company that helps businesses manage hotel bookings. They describe themselves as a remote-first company, and they do hire for customer-facing and support roles that can be done from home.
Because their openings and specific pay rates change frequently, we recommend heading directly to their careers page to see what's currently available rather than relying on details that may be outdated.

Looking For Even More Legit Remote Jobs?
FlexJobs is one of my favorite sites to use for finding remote jobs and learning about new companies that hire remotely.
Most of what I see there when I check the listings pays well above minimum wage and are known companies.
The great thing about FlexJobs is that they guarantee ALL listings are scam-free. They list hundreds of jobs — all of which are either remote or flexible in nature — five days per week.
There are also no ads on the site!
Because there are no ads, they do charge a membership fee since that is the only way they can see a return on their job-searching efforts.
But it's cheap — you can get access for a few weeks for just $2.95 for 14 full days!
If you sign up and don't like it, it's very easy to cancel right away so you are not billed again. You can do it any point during your 14 days of checking things out.
Go here to check out FlexJobs.
