Have a Luxe Valentine's Day For Less, With This Leading Hotels Deal

November 18, 2009 at 3:44 PM | by MsRebecca | 1 Comment

Who says you can’t spend Valentine’s Day in a luxury hotel on a Venetian island? Not us! We know it’s not even Thanksgiving yet, but our minds are already in February, thanks to a new promotion from Leading Hotels of the World.

Their Save the Date deal is designed to encourage early-bird reservations (LHW are so not fans of this pesky last-minute booking trend), and if you can commit to early 2010 dates now, there are deals to be had at more than 70 Leading Hotels around the world.

Romance, too, if you go with the San Clemente Palace Hotel & Resort in Venice. Once a monastery, the hotel takes up an entire private island (you arrive via motorboat from Piazza San Marco).

Last year, the property won the LHW “Guest Recognition Award of Excellence” and was named the best European hotel in the LHW stable. Those are solid credentials but if it’s not enough to make you swoon, perhaps the price will: with the Save the Date promo you can secure a room here for just 230 euros a night (around $343 USD). And, yes, that includes Valentine’s Day, which is still available.

Hyatt Hotels' 24-Hour Sale Begins Tomorrow

November 17, 2009 at 4:00 PM | by juliana | 1 Comment

Hyatt Regency Scottsdale

You know the old saying: When one hotel chain sale ends, another one has just begun!

Starwood's 50 percent off sale ends today but starting tomorrow Hyatt Hotels will have a 24-hour sale that will give you savings of 40 percent off several Hyatt Resorts in the U.S. and the Caribbean.

The Catch: This deal only lasts for 24 hours (duh) so you need to book by tomorrow at 11:59pm.

How to Book: The website listed for the sale is www.HyattResorts24HourSale.com. It wasn't working when we were writing this but it will open up at 12:01am Central Time. There is no special code needed and you can book stays from November 18 to April 30, 2010. We've got the full list after the jump.

Here's Your Chance to Tell Us What You Think of The Surrey Hotel

Go To The Hotel's Web 
  Site Where: 20 East 76th Street [map], New York, NY, United States, 10021
November 17, 2009 at 1:43 PM | by juliana | 1 Comment

When we got our sneak peek of The Surrey Hotel on New York's Upper East Side, we were thrilled by the luxe elegance we found in the room, not to mention the swank neighborhood outside. But then we read a review from Globalista that wasn't quite what we hoped for. Even though the TripAdvisor reviews were generally positive, the seeds of doubt were planted.

Coupled with our disappointment about the hotel's introductory offer, chances were looking slim on taking a chance on The Surrey. Until now.

The Surrey has just sweetened the deal for HotelChatter Readers by offering a complimentary night when you reserve a minimum two-night stay.

Mondrian WeHo Encourages Retail Therapy This Holiday

Sky Bar, where post-shopping cocktails can be had, even in the dead of winter

That familiar seasonal tune may claim "it's the most wonderful time of the year," but when you're making lists, checking them twice, and trying to decide what's re-giftable, the holidays can seem less than cheery. Gift shopping can seem like an endless chore, and a very pricey one at that.

The Mondrian Los Angeles has put together a special holiday deal that gives gift givers an ever-so-slight discount on some of the city's chicest stores. Truthfully though, the package's appeal is more self-serving, targeting female travelers with a love of labels and luxury treatments. Through January 10th, ask for their Ultimate Shopping Package when you make a reservation by phone, and you'll get a deal including $100 of hotel credit, valet parking, and a card featuring special discounts at various L.A. boutiques. Some of the price cuts include 20% off of Barney's New York in Beverly Hills, 20% off of Madison and Diavolina on West Third Street, and a complimentary manicure, makeup application or signature treatment with any hair service at Frederic Fekkai.

Best Western's European Deal is Good But Not Great

November 16, 2009 at 10:25 AM | by juliab | 0 Comments

Winter citybreaks in Europe are our absolute favourite type of shopping-and-culture trips. 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 Best Western’s 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). To secure the rates, you need to book on 20 or 21 November on this link.

But then we checked out just how good a deal it was by scoping out the cost of a few days in Rome this December. And we were sorely disappointed.

Renaissance Curacao's Infinity Beach is Now 40 Percent Off

Go To The Hotel's Web 
  Site Where: Baden Powellweg 1, Willemstad, Curacao, Netherlands Antilles, 97223
November 16, 2009 at 9:16 AM | by amandak | 0 Comments

The Renaissance Curacao impressed us just by telling us about their 32,000 square foot infinity beach, which beats an infinity pool any day (and a local even assured us that in real life it is truly as cool as it sounds). Now they're trying to impress us with a 40 percent off sale. And they get it half right.

The good part of this sale is that if you book by the end of November, for travel any time between January and April 2010, then you will get 40 percent off room rates – that's a pretty hefty discount. The Renaissance Curacao has had some good reports, and with the world heritage Rif Fort literally on the doorstep, we like it for being a bit different.

The bad part about this deal is they're advertising it as the "Life Begins At 40%" sale. And while we, well, get it, we can't help but feel like they're aiming for an over-40s market and that ain't quite our thing. But then we remember the infinity beach and we forgive them all over again.

Galleria Park Hotel Helps Visitors Experience a Faux Snow Day in SF

San Francisco natives know that the closest thing the city gets to snow, sleet, or anything of the sort during the holidays is Union Square's perilously crowded ice rink. You can either hightail it out of town—to Lake Tahoe or Big Bear, for instance—for a taste of the real thing, or you can fake it with the "Snow Day" package being offered by the Galleria Park Hotel. Its perks are a far cry from being caught in a bonafide flurry, but when you're a coastal Californian or holiday visitor, faux is the best you can hope for.

The Galleria Park is located in Union Square, whose holiday decorations are really impressive, despite their kitsch: a fully tinsel and wreath-beckdecked MACY*S, a gigantic Christmas tree in the main plaza, and even more lights than usual. What the package offers in addition to being squarely in the middle of these surroundings are complimentary valet parking, which usually runs for $35 per night, two tickets and skate rental to said ice rink, and two cups of Valrhona (a.k.a. the way high-end version of Swiss Miss) hot chocolate upon returning to the hotel at midi.

The Signature at MGM Grand Keeps Both Naughty and Nice Lists

We regularly cover Sin City happenings on our sister site VegasChatter, where the X-to-G-rated ratio often tips in favor of lascivious activities. This isn't to say that there aren't perfectly innocent things to do in Las Vegas—we reported on gelato last Friday, for Chrissakes—but finding them may take more work than wandering into any one of the Strip's neon-lighted strip joints.

Just in time for proverbial "list checking" season, The Signature at MGM Grand is offering a "Nice" alternative for those of a prim persuasion. Deviant travelers will have their requisite "Naughty" option, so fear not.

Starwood Offers Up to 50% Off Regular Rates—But You Have to Book Soon

November 6, 2009 at 4:49 PM | by MsRebecca | 0 Comments

Put this on your weekend “to do” list: think about where you might like to spend the holidays or a winter getaway. If your answer is a Starwood property, and you’re ready to charge what will be a non-refundable rate now, you could save yourself some serious holiday cocktail cash. Until November 10—next Tuesday—you can score up to 50% off the regular rates at a slew of Starwood properties. And while there are blackout dates, there are still some hotels with availability for the holidays. Even better, when you use one of the Starwood property’s online booking pages for this promotion, it will tell you which holidays are still available under the deal at most hotels, as well as which dates are already sold out.

At the new W Boston, for example, the sale rate of $189 a night is still available for Thanksgiving (Nov 22-29), and between December 18–30. (New Year’s Eve is sold out). At Aloft Lexington, the rate is as cheap as $79 a night, and again, there’s availability for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

Go East! in Europe For Good Deals And Great Culture

November 5, 2009 at 9:25 AM | by amandak | 0 Comments

It's hard to believe that one of our favorite parts of the world, Eastern Europe, has only been easy to travel to for the last twenty years – that's how long it is since the Berlin Wall fell, and that's also the reason why Marriott is celebrating with the Marriott's Go East! Package, with specials in five major eastern European cities. We like these deals because they're not just a bed and some food – they also feature some little touches to help you get to know the Cold War historical sides of the cities.

In the city where it all happened, you can stay at the Berlin Marriott Hotel with a Go East! package for €199 ($290) including a double room, breakfast, the Berlin Welcome Card and tickets to the very cool Berlin Wall Museum at Checkpoint Charlie. At the JW Marriott Bucharest Grand Hotel in Romania (pictured), the deal starts at 660 Lei ($226) and gets you a double room, breakfast, 20% off any other food and drinks during your stay, and two tickets to visit the city's Parliament Palace.

If you’ve dreamed of living in a New York penthouse but only ever get as far as flipping through the ads in the Times real estate section, you might now be closer to living your dream thanks to the Buckingham Hotel. Sitting atop the small boutique hotel near Carnegie Hall is The Martinelli Penthouse, which was once home to opera singer Giovanni Martinelli when he was performing at the Met, and also used by musical star Bobby Van as a dance studio.

Now, the two-bedroom duplex with a totally awesome terrace is available for meetings, private parties, and of course as hotel accommodations for cashed-up guests. We know, we know, you’re thinking: why are you telling me this? I could never afford something so luxurious. That’s what we thought—but then we learned that the Buckingham has slashed the regular rate for the penthouse by 50%.

Here's Your Chance to Stay at the Ritz Paris For Slightly Less Than Normal

It used to be something of a tradition for Londoners to hop on the Eurostar for a quicky weekend in Paris – especially when it came to winter romance. But it obviously isn’t going so well at the moment, thanks to the insanely strong euro: Eurostar is currently bombarding London with ads, and Parisian hotels seeing to be flinging out special offers by the day.

Anyway, if you can bear the dreadful exchange rate, there are deals to be had. This week the Leading Hotels of the World group have jumped on the bandwagon, offering up to 30% off – which, when you’re talking hotels like the Ritz or the Crillon, is a pretty big deal.

With the Leading in Paris offer, starting rates are down to €590 at the Hotel Le Bristol, €550 at the Ritz, €530 at the Hotel de Crillon and €589 at the Hotel Fouquet’s Barrière. Slightly cheaper are the Hotel Lancaster from €370, or the Hotel Raphael from €365 (the Raphael will also chuck in breakfast and a special “welcome gift).
