Maximizing cash back/ incentive for a sizable hotel booking?

Hi all,

I have a trip coming up in early next year where I will be traveling with two other people.

For three of us, we are looking at a hotel bill of $7500 for a week ($6121 pre-tax)

Unfortunately, we are staying at a local boutique hotel - so no chance for SPG/Hyatt/Hilton points

With that in mind, what would be the best way to book this? I can see the hotel in all of the major booking sites, and my plan is as follows:

Hotel.com - which should give 12 nights at an average price of $520 (so one free night at $520 value plus two nights)

Access hotels.com through top cash back - which should get us 7% on the pretax amount ($428.47).

Thoughts? Any better ways to do this?
