Hotels are cheap, flights are half empty, the monuments are queue-free and the shops are full of Christmas cheer. Plus, eating loads is obligatory to stave off the demon cold. So <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Best%20Western%20Hotels">Best Westerns</a> Two Day Promotion really tickled our fancy. The deal is this: 400 BW hotels in Europe and Egypt are offering rates starting at a peasly (for Europe) 49 (£43/$72) up to 79 (£70/$118) over December, January and February (most have backout days around Christmas and New Year, but other than that you have pretty much a free run at it check the website for individual hotel details).

And Berlin. And Prague. And even Marbella. Christmas shopping on the Continent is looking pretty promising this year. The latest lot to offer special winter deals are the folk at <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Concorde%20Hotels">Concorde Hotels</a>. But is it worth it? The Winter Offer which starts 1 November and ends March 31 promises bed, breakfast and a surprise gift if you stay two nights or more. And the rates sound pretty good Prague from 80 ($118/£72), Berlin from 136 and Paris from 148. Except we just looked up rezzie rates for a couple of properties, and looks like you can do better by simply paying up front, if all you want is a room with no added juliab 2009-10-30T09:29:19-05:00 Berlin: Three For Two With The Rocco Forte Collection http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/6/22/12247/0004 <![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/21888/hotelderome.jpg" class="top"> Not going to Europe this summer? This might tempt you. Stay two nights at a Rocco Forte Collection hotel (with 12 to choose from in places youd like to be anyway, like Rome, Prague, Berlin and St Petersburg), and theyll throw in a third for free. The only caveat the offer is only valid for stays during high summer, between July 27 and September 4. Unfortunately, thats also when most of the locals will have deserted places like Rome for the seaside but hey, at least the buses will be a little less crowded. With this offer, the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hotel+De+Rome+Berlin/local/266">Hotel de Rome</a> in Berlin costs $861 per room for the three nights not so juliab 2009-06-22T15:54:32-05:00 Parma: More Italian Bang For Your Buck in Parma http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/5/12/24648/7254 <![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/marialuigiaparma.jpg" class="top"> The dismal state of the dollar required drastic budget cuts on a recent trip to Italy, so despite the adage All roads lead to Rome (been there, done it, love it), we took a detour, and instead, headed to <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/city/parma">Parma</a>. Parma may lack the glitz (and crowds) of the Italian capital, but it still oozes with all the charm that makes Italy one of the worlds most romantic destinations cathedrals, art galleries, castles, culture, shopping, and killer wine and cuisine.Since Parma is a fairly affordable destination, it opens up more opportunities for accommodations, than lets say Rome, Florence or Venice. Big decision: stay at a swanky five star for five nights or stretch the not-so-almighty globetrotting gourmet 2009-05-12T16:17:04-05:00 Top Ten Hotels in Britain List Gives Us New Ideas http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/10/6/55733/9587 <![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/3873/Star_Castle_St_Marys_Scilly.jpg" class="imgborder"> So we got a bit freaked out when we read the headline at the UK Times about the top ten British hotels <a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/travel/where_to_stay/article4874203.ece">for 2009</a> -- we kinda thought 2008 only just started -- but now that we've calmed down, the list of ten independent hotels worth staying at, as picked by the Good Hotel Guide, is an interesting one.Out of the ten hotels on the list, there are a few that sound especially interesting. The Star Castle Hotel on the Isles of Scilly (off the south-west corner of Britain) got us interested from the location alone--if you're lucky with the weather, this place sounds like the closest you can get to a tropical beach resort in amandak 2008-10-06T11:09:24-05:00 Search HotelChatter Search HotelChatter string http://www.hotelchatter.com/search/
