DESTINATION -Luxury Hotel Deals: Are They Out There?

Finally, after a long hard year of work, the time to take a vacation with your family has come. However, you may find that your budget simply won't permit you to stay in a fancy hotel with all the bells whistles… if you don't know how to find bargains, that is. Those hotels with the 1000 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets, jam packed refrigerator bars, marble bathrooms, and massive flat screen TVs aren't as far out of reach as you may think. Thanks to the internet, it is now easier than ever to find fantastic luxury hotel deals.
The keys to finding a good bargain on a four to five-star hotel are timing and flexibility. If you know exactly where you want to go and aren't willing to budge on your travel dates, you should expect it to be a lot harder to find a good deal on a hotel. On the other hand, if there are multiple destinations you wouldn't mind visiting and you're willing and able to pack your bags and go on vacation at the last minute, you'll find many more luxury hotel deals.

Travel during the Off Season

Why travel during high season? There are too many crowds and the prices are higher. Everything from museum entrances to hotels to parking can cost more during the high season. If you want to find good bargains on luxury accommodations, traveling during the shoulder seasons or off season is your best bet. In some areas, traveling during the off season could mean that some attractions will be closed down or that the weather will be cold or rainy. In that case, the shoulder seasons are a better time to travel because you can enjoy the same attractions as high season without the crowds, exorbitant prices, and unpleasant weather.

Travel In-State

If you want to envelop yourself in luxury for the sake of experiencing luxury, why travel halfway across the world? You can most likely find a lovely luxury hotel in your own state, and you may even be able to get an attractive discount just for being an in-state resident! If you're content with staying close to your stomping grounds, check out the luxury hotels in the area and determine whether they offer discounts to state residents.

Check Online Deals Sites… And then Call the Hotels Directly

You can find rock-bottom prices on luxury hotels by scouring travel bargain websites. However, sometimes you can manage to negotiate an even lower price by contacting the hotel directly, particularly when occupancy is low for those particular travel dates.

Find Last Minute Deals

In order to find last minute deals on luxury hotels, contact travel agents and find out if they know of any deals for upcoming vacation packages or hotel stays. When travel agents have vacancies available for trips that are leaving within the next few days, they may be willing to cut you a good deal just to ensure that they are able to fill those vacancies. You can also stay on top of a lot of last minute deals by signing up for email alerts. If you don't mind the suspense of waiting until the last minute to pack your bags, you can often find excellent last minute bargains on luxury hotels. If you want to trade the shady motel room in for a luxury hotel room complete with sauna access, a Jacuzzi, and room service, keep these bargain hunting tips in mind. With a little effort, you can enjoy your much needed getaway in luxury and style rather than rough it on a budget!
