Take a Break From Hostels, Top 5 Tips to Find Yourself a Luxury Hotel Deal

Now I don’t mind roughing it at all but there are certain occasions when your travelling or on a holiday that a luxury or boutique hotel stay really is needed to make the experience work. It might be that your going somewhere for a long weekend away, the short time period means your able to increase the budget for each night. It might be that your going for a romantic weekend away or looking for some real relaxation and privacy that a hostel bunk could never offer.

Here’s some top tips for find yourself great luxury hotel deals:

  1. Make big savings through sites that offer time specific deals such as Travel Zoo
  2. If you don’t often spend your holidays in a luxury hotel, save time in your quest for a perfect hotel by using sites that hand pick its hotels such as www.travelintelligence.com and www.slh.com
  3. Take a gamble with Priceline and get a guaranteed 5 star stay at a significant saving, there’s no guarantee however on where your staying and whether the hotel is going to be as charming as the hand selected ones above.
  4. If you can get the holiday off work or have flexible working days why not go in the week? There will nearly always be big savings  to be had over weekend deals.
  5. There’s no guarantee you’ll get a cheap deal on these hotels built a good place for starting your search is a top hotels list from boutique and luxury travel magazines such as The Conde Nast Gold List

    Thanks for the awesome tips and websites you provided at this post. Even though I am online a fair amount of time per day I had never heard about these websites.

    I recently booked a hotel room in Rome, where the service was awful compared to its cost. I wish you had written this blog post earlier :)

    • About Ben’s Backpacking Travel Blog

      The main aim of this travel blog is to share travel experiences and hopefully inspire others to travel. When researching my own travels I always focus on the photos and with that in mind I've tried to place an emphasis on travel photos of my favourite destinations. I've also tried to focus on those places to visit and things to do that are slightly off the beaten track of the normal backpacking trip.

      My blog covers past experiences backpacking around the world and my current travels where so far I've been lucky enough to travel in the South Pacific, Australasia, South East Asia, Europe, North America and South America.

      Don’t forget to pick up holiday insurance before you go! InsureandGo provide a wide range of policies including backpacker travel insurance, available at competitive prices.
