Quikbook Delivers the Deals with Its New Invite-Only Sale
We've long been fans of Quikbook's secret sales which are open to anyone and work very much like a Hotwire or Priceline in that you don't know what hotel you're booking until after you've made the reservation, typically at a steep discount. But now, Quikbook has introduced another secret element--Invitation Only Sales.
Invitees will receive dedicated emails that allow them access to unpublished Quikbook hotel deals and which can only be accessed through the email. The deals are limited, usually lasting for about 72 hours and are first come, first serve. So if you see a cheapie rate at a cool boutique hotel, you better jump on it.
In the inaugural email today, Quikbook has some great deals on NYC Hotels like the The Strand Hotel for $295 a night, the new Cassa Hotel for $296 a night, a studio king suite at 6 Columbus for $376 a night and the just-opened Gansevoort Park Avenue for $395 a night. The deals are valid for stays from October 5 through November 30 and you must book by 5pm EST this Friday, October 10.
But are these really deals that Quikbook is offering? Come along with us as we find out.

Will the Milford Plaza Once Again Be the 'Lullabuy of Broadway'?
Back in June, we were saddened to hear that the Milford Plaza, the "Lullabuy of Broadway", had closed up shop in December with no foreseeable reopening date in sight. But the hotel could reach a high note again soon.
The WSJ reports that the Milstein family, who owns the hotel, is close in talks with a private equity firm to sell off the property. Which means that if the deal goes through the new firm could do a big reno on the property and reopen next year with a brand-new Lullabuy of Broadway commercial!!
Ok, we got a little ahead of ourselves but that commercial is probably just as important to our childhood as Cabbage Patch Kids and Jams shorts. We also think the Milford Plaza could turn into one of those new hip stylish but affordable hotels catering to the Broadway/Theater crowds. We're thinking along the lines of Aloft Hotels or Tune Hotels, thus living up to the "buy" portion of "lullabuy." It could even be a great spot for a Virgin Hotel.
Ok now we're really getting ahead of ourselves here so if you have some more concrete info on the Milford Plaza, feel free to spill it.

Will The Viceroy Anguilla No Longer Be a Viceroy Hotel?
On the heels of celebrity newlywed guests, Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr, comes stunning news that The Viceroy Anguilla has been sold. Even worse, it may no longer be a Viceroy Hotel.
The Daily Herald, a small island publication, reports that the hotel, which only opened last December, has been sold to Starwood Capital, ole' Barry Sternlicht's company. (Remember, Starwood Capital is different from Starwood Hotels.)
As it turns out the previous owners of Viceroy Anguilla (that would be Viceroy and their partner, the Mubadala Development Company) had not completed its loan payments, forcing Citibank to come in and take over the property. It was Citibank who completed the sale of $500 million to Starwood Capital.

What Will Happen to The Buckingham Hotel in NYC?
Where we will never spend a night.
We've often dreamed about staying at the Buckingham Hotel's Martinelli penthouse suite, provided we had the funds, but it looks like our dream may never come true.
The Real Deal reports that this historic NYC hotel has been sold to a UBS investment group for a whopping $60 million. Details are not only scant on the sale but also the future of the hotel.
This place was once owned by Danny Errico, who also used to own the James Chicago and was a founder of the Equinox fitness chain (He sold those off too.) In 2008, he turned over the James Chicago to Denihan Hospitality Group who own a pocketful of hotels like our fave The Surrey and who also serve as the management company for The Buckingham.

The Sagamore Is On The Auction Block, But Are Playboy Bunnies Invited?
The last we had heard about the rumors that the Sagamore might become a Playboy Hotel was back in February, when the magazine threw its big Super Bowl party at the South Beach hotel. That bit of synergy fueled the fire that a branding deal could be in the works. But today, the Miami Herald reports that the lenders behind the hotel don't seem interested in the Playboy Bunnies at all. But they are trying to sell the property—and the Sagamore has asked a judge to halt the auction.
According to the Herald, the hotel's owners accused lender LNR Property of "duping it into halting loan payments in hopes of restructuring its debt." Now, the stage seems set for foreclosure, with bids for the hotel due today.

What's Inside Kayak's New Private Sale?
Yesterday, Kayak kicked off its promised flash sale format for hotel deals. Unlike the sample sales conducted at Jetsetter and the private sales over at Tablet Hotels, the Kayak sale is open to anyone who signs up for the Kayak newsletter (funny, we signed up but never got the notice yesterday.)
Nevertheless, the New York Times reports the sale included such properties like :
The Bryant Park Hotel in New York City ($325, down from $420), the Mondrian in Los Angeles ($240, down from $357) and the Riviera Resort in Palm Springs ($115, down from $309).
And unlike Tablet and Jetsetter, the sale will last for a week or until inventory runs out. The flash sales will happen every Thursday and you must sign up with Kayak to be able to access them.
So far, we're not that thrilled with these offerings but maybe it's because we're private-saled out. Also, we're still finding better deals on blind booking sites like Hotwire. But we're definitely happy to have these sales in the mix when booking our next hotel stay.

The sale has 500 rooms at £1 and another 500 rooms at £29, both of which must be booked between February 1 and April 30. (Darnit, we were hoping to secure a £1 room for September.

Booking that random day should surely secure you a £1 room with free WiFi which will greatly ease your budget in London. Yes, the WiFi is free!
