I do whatever I can to support small businesses whenever I can, and I love seeing the travel industry join in on the fun. So when I saw a recent announcement from Arlo Hotels about its new Arlo Means Business program, I knew I needed to share more with you, our readers, as so many of you are entrepreneurs and small business owners.

Arlo Hotels, with locations in Miami and New York, now offers small businesses preferred access to Arlo’s best corporate rates, as well as bonus perks for selecting Arlo. The Arlo Means Business program aims to flip the script by supporting the revitalization of small businesses and building the community in the wake of the pandemic.

The Arlo Means Business platform is now accepting applications. All small businesses, including mom-and-pop shops, independent artists, freelancers and budding start-ups, are welcome. Members receive up to 40 percent off the brand’s best available rates across its portfolio. Arlo also waives its Urban Fee, provides vouchers to its signature Bodega grab-and-go outlets and offers late check-out (subject to availability).

If you’re a small business owner and this program sounds perfect for you, apply today!
