Spring Travel Ideas

Now that the weather is finally starting to warm up in the Northern Hemisphere, does anyone have any travel ideas for the coming months?  This week, I'd like to reach out to my fellow hotelbookers for inspiration.  Feel free to post up below...

Book a Rental Car through Hotelbook

After you've chosen an independent hotel through hotelbook, don't forget that you can also book your rental car here as well. Choose from a wide variety of locations across the world and decide on the type of car you're looking for.  From that point on, it's up to you.  Will it be a convertible or a minivan?  Perhaps it depends on your vacation plans, but at least you can make all your plans without ever leaving hotelbook.com.  I'm hoping for the convertible for my trip to the Bahamas!

GREATRATES© Extended Throughout February

This February, take advantage of great hotel discounts through hotelbook.  The GREATRATES of 2008 are being extended throughout the month of February, giving you the opportunity to save up to 15% off normal rack rates on over 5,000 boutique & independent hotels across the globe.  If you're staying for two nights or more, enjoy these special rates and complementary breakfast in hotels that range from economy all the way up to first-class.  Among many other destinations, enjoy these unique discounts in a wide variety of hotels in Paris, Rome, & Miami.

Valentine's Day with Hotelbook

As February 14th approaches, do something different this year and visit a destination where love is truly in the air.  On hotelbook, you can find a wide variety of boutique hotels that provide an intimate atmosphere where you can enjoy time together without the huss and fuss of a tourist trap hotel. 

For example, at the Royal Hotel in Paris, enjoy a romantic hotel with marble bathrooms, fine linens, and a convenient location next to the famous Champs-Elysees.  Another city perfect for Valentine's Day is Venice, and at the Concordia Hotel you'll find a historic building dating back to 1680 with first-class amenities and views overlooking San Marco Square.  Last but not least, try the Egerton House Hotel in London, a relaxing Victorian-style boutique property that features Ipod docking stations, flat screen televisions, and cozy, spacious beds.
