Indeed. I'm planning a 2024 trip and I messaged a few hotels for which I have USD-denominated rates to understand how the devaluation will affect those reservations. What I'm hearing across the board is that they are sticking with the prior rates, which would result in an out-of-pocket of roughly double what I had expected. As a result, I'm canceling just about everything I've got and re-booking, generally either at other hotels with ARS-denominated rates or at Airbnbs, which are now price-competitive in a way that they were not before.
