Nicola continues: With demand surging by nearly 2,000% in one day, early planning is key for both fans who want a great experience and for hotels looking to capitalise on one of the biggest music events of the year.

She finishes: Just like other major tours, Harry Styles’ tour will provide a much-needed boost for hotels, showing that live music isn't just entertainment, it’s a lifeline for hospitality ahead of a difficult year.

Hotel expert reveals 4 top tips for securing a hotel for Harry Styles’ tour

1. Consider staying outside of Wembley

While Wembley has some great hotels that are conveniently located, staying a few stops away could be a smarter choice. Areas along the metropolitan line, like Northwood and Harrow-on-the-Hill, have lower prices and fewer crowds, making the journey back home smoother.

2. Book directly through hotel websites

Most importantly, fans should book directly through hotel websites to ensure they get the best price. Booking through the hotel means you’ll have fewer fees to pay, making the cost of your stay cheaper.

3. Check for package deals and special offers

Always check for offers and package deals on hotel websites. Some hotels offer discounts for booking multiple nights or packages for late checkout and breakfast included.

4. Be flexible with dates

If possible, consider staying one night before or after the concert. Not only does this increase your chances of getting an available room, but it can also help reduce costs. It also allows you to explore what London has to offer and turns your trip into a getaway rather than just a one-night visit.
