How to Get a Great Rate on a Hotel Room
Briefly

Even with rising hotel prices in 2024, travelers can secure outstanding deals in luxury hospitality. Discounts are often available at newly opened hotels or those partnering with booking platforms. Membership programs like Dis-loyalty offer substantial savings, such as 50% off new hotels within the first three months of opening. For instance, the Hoxton, Florence, provides rooms starting at $235 for members. Additionally, direct inquiries with hotels may yield even lower rates, demonstrating the importance of personal engagement when booking.
One current example: At the Hoxton, Florence, in Italy, which opened in March, members can book a late May stay for a starting nightly rate of $235, compared with the standard $470.
