  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Dhaka on Hotels.com, begin by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections, where you may discover discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. Additionally, activating email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com could keep you informed about flash sales and special promotions, helping you save on your stay. The Smart Shopping tool available in the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're aware of any price drops or room availability, so you can seize a last-minute getaway opportunity.
