Have a Side of Palm Beach with Your Thanksgiving Turkey

Go To The Hotel's Web 
  Site Where: 2800 S Ocean Boulevard [map], Palm Beach, FL, United States, 33480

You know what goes even better with a heaping plate of Thanksgiving turkey than a side of mashed potatoes? Palm Beach. OK, so maybe you won’t feel like jumping straight into that bikini or Speedo after gorging on your holiday dinner, but we’re still going to say beach-combing in Palm Beach trumps cramming into your sister-in-law’s house in suburbia.

But here’s what would make us extra thankful: staying at the Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach, with the third night free. And for those of you purists who think the only way a beach should be part of Thanksgiving is lounging around like a beached whale after chowing down on seconds and thirds, fret not, for the Four Seasons has arranged for some traditional Thanksgiving activities.

Palos Verdes' Terranea Resort is Offering Rooms for Half-Off

  Site Where: 6610 Palos Verdes Drive South [map], Rancho Palos Verdes, CA, United States, 90275

More hotel deals! The Terranea Resort, a luxury oceanfront property in Palos Verdes, just south of Los Angeles, is offering guests 50 percent off its room rates but only for 12 more days. From now through October 27, you can get rooms at the brand new hotel for $210 a night. The special rates are good for stays through December 17. It's even available for reservations over Thanksgiving.

The only caveat is that it does require advance purchase. And while we found opening rates at the hotel over the summer for less (about $145 a night), room rates have since jumped up to about $500 a night. We were able to find a room over Thanksgiving for $261 a night for a resort view king. Ocean views cost $316 a night.

The Terranea is a sprawling resort with tons of activities available during your stay such as hiking the resort's two mile trail, playing golf on a "challenging" 9-hole course, relaxing at the spa and just taking in the awesome Pacific ocean and Catalina Island views. There's even a children's center so you can drop the kids off and actually enjoy your vacation.

The Sanctuary Hotel Wants You to Peek In On Their Dress Rehearsal (at $159 a night)

Go To The Hotel's Web 
  Site Where: 132 west 47th [map], New York, NY, United States, 10036

Manhattan is a hotbed of hotel openings right now so if a trip to New York is on your agenda this fall, there are plenty of new hotels to try out. But some of them might be a little out of your budget like The Crosby Street Hotel at $459 a night and Ink48 at $269 a night. So to get a deal, you might need to try a hotel that's not quite all the way open yet, like The Sanctuary Hotel.

This is a hotel that we've been waiting a long time to see (like since 2006). Located in Times Square, the hotel is still known as The Portland Square Hotel but the Impulsive Group is in the process of giving it a multi-million dollar facelift to transform it into The Sanctuary. As of now, only nine of the hotel's 122 rooms have been completed renovated and updated. But they look pretty cute, even if the rest of the hotel still needs some work.

Guestrooms feature plush beds with European linens as well as 32- to 42-inch plasma televisions and iPod docking stations. The bathrooms boast a unique open design featuring quarried marble as well as a glass enclosure with a rain showerhead surrounded by adjustable drapery to create an intimate bath experience. Several of the guestrooms also showcase the original structure of the hotel with exposed brick or metal beams adorning the ceiling.

Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu Turns 110, Offers Rooms for $110 a Night

Go To The Hotel's Web 
  Site Where: 181 Rue Richelieu, La Malbaie, QC, Canada, G5A1X7
October 12, 2009 at 3:18 PM | by juliana | 0 Comments

Another gimmicky hotel rate! Although, this takes place in Quebec and it's a Fairmont Hotel so it's a little pricier (and Frencher) than other room rate gimmicks we've seen as of late.

The stunning, cliffside Fairmont Le Manoir Richelieu is turning 110 years old and to celebrate, the hotel is offering rates for--you guessed it--$110 a night. While the stays are good through December 22, you must book between October 12 to 31. The rate is also open based on availability. The hotel suggests you call in person at 1-888-403-9199 to book. Normally, rooms are about $170CAD a night.

So what do you get for $110 a night? Well, nothing really besides a room which is non-refundable and full pre-payment is required.

20 Things Under $20 Every Day At The Ritz-Carlton New Orleans

Go To The Hotel's Web 
  Site Where: 921 Canal Street [map], New Orleans, LA, United States, 70112
October 6, 2009 at 9:32 AM | by juliab | 0 Comments

Normally we have Ritz Carltons down as splurgy kinds of places rather than savers, so it’s nice to know that the New Orleans branch is reaching out to our budget hearts with its new 20 Under $20 list – 20 things you can get under their roof every day for under $20, plus a free bonus thrown in for good measure.

You won’t be finding any rooms on the list, unfortunately, but as well as the obvious stuff like a postcard (a slightly overpriced $1) or a cup of coffee (a much more reasonable $2) you will see things from sushi ($3), Jazzed Up Grits ($6), a Bloody Mary ($8), Bananas Foster ($10) and kobe beef sliders ($16).

The “free” part is Jeremy Davenport’s live jazz, which you can either catch on weekend nights or Thursday evenings from 5.30pm till 9pm. If you make this one, you’ll get a free Davenportini cocktail to boot (as you might have guessed, Mr Davenport is something of a Nola celebrity and beloved of the local ladies). Although you might have trouble getting served – the place is rammed when he plays.

  Site Where: 55 East Ontario Chicago [map], Chicago, IL, United States, 60611

Mmmm, private sale. The two words alone are enough to conjure up visions of red-soled shoes, couture and fancy digs — but, luckily for us, we see those two beautiful words together plenty because we keep up with our fave brands and hotel properties on Twitter. We're hearing that Oprah's even in on this Twitter thing.

And here's one more reason why you should be: via an in-the-know Twitterer, we learned of the just-announced Private Sale at The James Chicago — which scores us 25% off the Best Available Rate Offer.

The sale is valid for rezzies April 16 through September 15 of this year, though you have to book your stay by April 25th (that's soon!) Oh, and there's no minimum stay or anything. Just a good ol' private sale.

Rooms here start at $203 and go up from there — score the 25% off deal by booking through the offer page.

Get Your Breakfast On In Beverly Hills

March 27, 2009 at 9:11 AM | by Jenna | 0 Comments

Listen. We know you're a breakfast person. You feel strongly about the breakfasts offered at budget hotel chains — and we know you get cranky when you start off your days paying out the nose for a decent meal to keep you going through the morning.

And when you're in Beverly Hills at a hotel that is, say, one like The Beverly Hilton or the Crescent, we're pretty sure you're not expecting a Hampton Inn-esque free first meal o' the day — but thanks to the BH Conference & Visitors Bureau, even the most luxe hotels in Beverly Hills will be offering free breakfasts this spring. Oh — and free nights too.

Hilton Papagayo, Costa Rica

We're diggin' this whole numbers-based sale thing — 89 rooms a day at 89 dollars a night, 96 hours to score 96-dollar rooms, etc. We don't care that the schemes are rather uncreative 'cause, um, the rates are pretty low and the booking windows aren't insanely small or overcrowded like the Sale of Which We No Longer Speak.

Tonight, BookIt.com is closing down for one very exciting (not) hour at 7 pm — and then re-opening at 8:00 pm for one very exciting (really!) upscale sale. The promo will run for 99 hours, and you can score rooms at fairly upscale resorts for $99 until 11:59 PM EDT on Friday, March 27.

A few of the resorts included in the sale:

· Majestic Colonial, Punta Cana
· Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas
· Royal Plaza at Walt Disney World
· Hilton Papagayo, Costa Rica

Remember, all the action happens tonight at 8:00 Eastern time. Get your clicking fingers ready and head over here when the clock strikes 8.

RockResorts' 96-Hour 96-Dollar Sale Ends Sunday

March 19, 2009 at 8:56 AM | by Jenna | 0 Comments


The pool at the newly-reopened Osprey at Beaver Creek.

It may be starting to feel a bit like Spring where you are, but the official end to the 08-09 ski season doesn't officially happen until mid-April at most resorts (the skiing keeps going until April 19th in Vail, for example). And right now ain't a bad time to kick it slopeside since your fave winter resort is probably getting sunnier, warmer — and much, much cheaper.

Yesterday, RockResorts launched a 96-hour sale — which goes until Sunday, March 22 — offering up rates from $96 at ten RockResort properties worldwide. Notable 96-ers: Hotel Jerome in Aspen, The Osprey at Beaver Creek, The Lodge at Vail and Snake River Lodge in Jackson, WY. Also, The Arrabelle at Vail Square is on sale starting at $136 per night and, if beachy warmth is more your scene right now, The Landings St. Lucia is going from $166 per night.

89 Rooms a Day at 89 Dollars a Night at Hilton Anaheim

Go To The Hotel's Web 
  Site Where: 777 Convention Way [map], Anaheim, CA, United States, 92802
March 18, 2009 at 9:26 AM | by Jenna | 2 Comments

In the mood for a lil' bit of Disneyland magic? Maybe some Angels baseball? Or do you, perhaps, have a crisp Benjamin lying around and you want to spend those dollas on a hotel room and an $11 bottle of wine for you and your honey?

The newly-renovated Hilton Anaheim's gotchya: throughout the rest of 2009, the hotel is offering 89 of its rooms every day for the semi-ridiculous price of $89 per night.

The massive 1,572-room hotel — located just next door to the Anaheim Convention Center and about a block from Disneyland — was given a complete overhaul that wrapped up in January. And to fill up those crisp, clean new rooms, the hotel is running an 89@89 Promo (looks like someone went a little cray-cray with the numbers line on the keyboard) via their Advance Purchase Rate — i.e., you have to book your room at least 21 days in advance to snag one of the cheapie rooms.

To get on it, go here and cite promo code QO. And before you go, check out the hotel's blog for weekly happenings, drink specials and whatnot.
