Hotel booking for a US visa application
A US B1/B2 application and interview cover where you plan to stay. CloseHotel turns those plans into an organised accommodation itinerary you can print and bring with you.
What your accommodation details should show
- Property name, address and contact details for the stay
- Dates that line up with your DS-160 travel plans
- Traveler names matching the passport exactly
- A clean A4 layout that is easy to hand over at an interview
The consular officer is assessing your overall travel plan. Accommodation details support that plan; they are not a substitute for it, and no document guarantees a visa outcome.
Create your itinerary in three steps
- Search your destination city and enter your travel dates.
- Pick a property and room style from real listings.
- Add traveler names and download a print-ready A4 PDF.

Questions travelers ask
Do I need a hotel booking before a US visa interview?+
A confirmed paid booking is not mandatory, but being able to explain where you will stay helps you answer the interview questions clearly.
Should the itinerary match my DS-160?+
Yes. Keep dates, cities and traveler names consistent with what you entered on the DS-160.
Is this a real reservation?+
No. It is a provisional planning document. It does not reserve a room and must not be presented as a hotel-issued booking.
