Fall Travel Deals
Each week, we bring you information on great hotel deals in premier destinations including Los Angeles, New Orleans, Las Vegas and Boston, as well as great rates you can find in our recently launched European cities: Barcelona, Paris, Rome, London and Amsterdam.
But who better to explain how you can lock in such great rates than our own President, Bob Diener? This week he spoke with Arthur Frommer, a distinguished travel writer, publisher and founder of the Frommer’s series of travel guides and Arthur Frommer’s Budget Travel magazine, about how travelers can save by booking on our site. Bob also sat down with Natasha Barrett of Let’s Talk Live and emphasized how booking early will allow you to secure great rates for hotel stays through the coming months in destinations including Miami, Washington DC, Las Vegas and New York.
Whether you’re planning to hit up popular shops and theaters on Union Square in San Francisco, attend a business meeting along Magnificent Mile in Chicago, or escape to a Midtown Manhattan getaway, you can now choose from properties in 19 cities worldwide. As Bob noted, by calling our toll-free number, you’ll be able to snag special unpublished rates that can be up to 50% lower than published rates on getaroom and other travel websites.
Just because summer is coming to a close doesn’t mean you have to kiss sun-drenched beaches goodbye as well. Lucky for you, we have a wide range of properties located directly on or near the beach in Miami, including the oceanfront Trump International Beach Resort and the Palms Hotel & Spa. Those looking to squeeze in a fall vacation in Central Florida and bask in the excitement of Walt Disney World’s theme parks can find low rates in properties found at or near Downtown Disney, such as Hotel Royal Plaza and BW Lake Buena Vista in Orlando.
Maybe you’d just like to get out of the house for a few days and take in the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas nightlife without breaking your pocketbook. Sahara Hotel and Casino, whose NASCAR Cafe is highlighted by a state-of-the-art roller coaster, is located on the northern end of the Las Vegas Strip. And in the very heart of the Strip is The Palazzo Resort Hotel Casino; with over 60 international boutiques, the place is surely a shopper’s paradise! If you’re heading to the nation’s capitol instead, you can select from downtown properties ranging from Capitol Skyline to The River Inn.
Bob mentioned that you can also find 24-48 hour deals on the website that allow you to travel through the fall. By booking in advance, you end up saving more, and who doesn’t want more money in their pockets during these tough economic times?
Also, you can follow us via Facebook and Twitter, where each we post select deals available at properties in New York and other hot destinations; you can also get access to our latest promotions and giveaways! Right now we’re giving away a two-night stay at the Regal Sun Resort in Orlando for our Twitter followers. Visit our Contest Page for more details. In addition, subscribe to our getaroom YouTube channel, where you’ll have access to videos highlighting great travel tips and deals as explained by our travel maven, Kate Hall.
