If You Can't Take the Heat, Forget the Set Exchange Rate
Where: Spain
Because the dollar sucks, Rafael Hoteles is running a "New Currency" program with a set exchange rate of 1.3 at its eight properties across Madrid, Barcelona and the Spanish Pyrenees, meaning some room rates in Barcelona and Madrid start at $98. Sounds great, doesn't it?
Rafael Hoteles sure thinks so, further promising no surprises at checkout (though the rate does not include taxes and service charges.)
But suspiciously, the offer is only valid from July 1 through September 15--perhaps because the heat in Madrid and Barcelona gets unbearable in July and August, likely warding off tourists in need of hotel rooms? Just wondering.
