![]() The hotel booking industry is changing with these mystery rooms offering a way of getting luxury hotels for a VERY reduced price. Add a little thrill to your life and book a secret hotel.Plus, in my opinion, it has hands down the best website and mobile app in terms of usability. I reckon it often offers the best deals available online in 60-70% of the times (maybe not in Asia. There’s already a ton of places where you can book your bed, my favorite being. In this digital era, you have two options to book accommodation: Now I’m obsessed with it! Here’s a simple guide on how to unveil these hotel rooms online! Keep in mind it can take a while to process the claim, so it’s not a good idea to try on a non-refundable room.Never heard of secret hotel deals before? Neither did I until some weeks ago. The only caveat is that you have to be extremely careful that you are making a claim for the exact same room, and in the same currency. My favourite is the InterContinental Hotels Group promotion, which will not only match a lower price-they’ll also give you the first night FREE!.Marriott will match the lower rate, plus give a 25% discount.Starwood Hotels will match the rate and give a 10% discount or 2,000 Starpoints.The Hilton chain promises to match any lower advertised rate, plus take $50 off the bill or give a $50 American Express Gift Cheque.My favourite travel hack is to make use of the best rate guarantees that all major hotel chains offer, and have used this method successfully to stay at the stunning Westin Market Square in San Franciscofor about $80 per night less than the advertised price. Whether it’s calling the hotel directly to see if they can give you a deal (or throw in a perk like free breakfast or an upgraded room) or taking advantage of a promotion like ‘stay three nights get the fourth free,’ there are almost always discounts to be had. To take advantage of this during your next holiday, be sure to do your homework about available promotions before you book a hotel room. ![]() I was also able to redeem my credit, meaning the whole thing cost me about $80! Not too shabby for a beautiful room in a great location-and I won’t have to share a bathroom!Įven if I didn’t have the $120 credit I still would have saved $200- which would be a 50% savings! As luck would have it I had a free night worth $120 to redeem, so I called their customer service line and booked a room at the gorgeous Pullman for Amoma’s price of $199. The benefit of that is that I’m a member of their Welcome Rewards program, which means that after every 10 rooms booked through them I get a free night. It means that if you find the same room on another site, they will match the price. I clicked on the site to verify that Amoma was in fact selling the double superior room for $199 (after tax), then went ahead and called which just so happens to have a best rate guarantee. It shows that has the room listed for $186!!! Now you may be thinking, “OK, that looks gorgeous but the price is $379 plus taxes.” That’s correct, but check out the box below with the other compared prices. ![]() This post may contain affiliate links, which Globe Guide receives compensation for with each click or purchase at no additional cost to you. ![]() So after typing in my dates, I started browsing hotels and one caught my eye. ![]() I was not looking forward to the prospect of staying in a dorm with a twin bed and shared bathroom for $200 per night. I’m heading to Munich for Oktoberfest (yay!) but of course that means rooms are at a premium-we’re talking about four times more expensive than usual. In 2013, Trip Advisor released a fantastic feature that not only lets you compare hotels based on ratings, but also pulls up pricing for the room on a dozen different websites in one handy box. So imagine how delighted I was to book a beautiful $400/night hotel room for $80. There’s nothing I like more than a sweet deal, especially when it gets me first class travel. ![]()
