Luxury Hotel Deals Website
Perfect Escapes has Exclusive Travel Deals to Help Budget your Trip
Jan 12, 2007
Cheap travel may bring to mind motor inns near highways, but even fans of luxury travel appreciate a good deal. That's why I'm happy to share a new luxury hotel deals website with my fellow budget conscious travelers. Perfect Escapes - Great Deals on Luxury Travel is a site worth exploring.
Perfect Escapes focuses strictly on luxury hotels. No motor inns here! Randy Antin, the director of interactive media at Perfect Escapes, told me that this website works directly with hotels to arrange exclusive offers. Anyone reading the Perfect Escapes website, will see a code listed with money-saving deals at 4- and 5-star hotels. Simply input the code when booking hotel reservations, and the deal is yours. As I wrote in a blog, "Right now, The Westin St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco has a deal for Perfect Escape readers: Book 2 nights, and get the 3rd night free. San Francisco is not a cheap town to visit, and Westins are generally 4-star, luxury class hotels and resorts." (Click here to see the rest of the blog.) Another good deal for the budget minded luxury traveler is the Skier's Escape; book through Perfect Escapes, and The Lodge and Spa at Cordillera, in Vail, is under $325 a night. Vail is one of the best luxury ski towns in the US, and any ski fan would know that this is a great travel deal.
Why I like Perfect Escapes
- The website understands that budget tips to help make travel more affordable, apply to luxury vacations as well as they do to cheap trips. Getting the best deal for a luxury trip doesn't make us cheap, but smart. For example, one highlight of Perfect Escapes is the Perfect 10; a updated list of the website's top ten travel deals at top hotels and resorts across the US. Pretty smart, I'd say. Besides the Perfect 10, visitors to the website can choose to browse deals by destination, search out top luxury hotels by state, or simply find a hotel by selecting a city and the planned travel days. The Perfect 10 is also available for subscribers, as an emailed newsletter.
- The website itself is easily navigated and intuitive. I appreciate the customer support supplied by the Perfect Escapes folk - when I called the toll-free number with an innocuous question, the phone was answered immediately and I was treated with respect.
- Now, Perfect Escapes is a relatively new website, and currently offers great travel deals only in the US. As it grows, however, I expect that luxury hotels and resorts across the globe will start to appear in the Perfect 10 list. In fact, Randy Antin told me that the planned international list will include top resorts and hotels in Europe, Asia, Mexico, Canada, South America and many other popular vacation spots.
- The exclusive travel deals can be found only through the website, but there is no membership fee: It is free to find the best prices on luxury hotels here, and the great deals will continue to be free to users in the future.
The website itself sums it up best. On its home page, it says: If you insist on luxury accomodations when you travel - but you also want to know about special offers and get the best rates - Perfect Escapes is right for you. And I say, the next time you're planning a trip to a luxury destination, check out Perfect Escapes before you finalize your travel plans. Your travel budget (and your vacation) may thank you.
