Jeff here again with great news! If you’re in Europe or plan to visit anytime soon, you’ll want to take advantage of great hotel deals in our two newest destinations – Paris and Barcelona. Our properties in Paris, including Hotel Le Patio Saint Antoine and Hotel Les Jardins Du Marais, put you minutes away from the Picasso Museum, Opera Bastille and other prized landmarks. I am really looking forward to visiting Barcelona one of these days. It, to
o, is steeped in history, featuring scores of museums, theaters and, for lovers of sand and surf, seven beaches! More great deals await you at Grand Hotel Central and Hotel Diagonal Zero, among other can’t-miss Barcelona properties.
Scorching End-of-Summer Hotel Deals
We’ve also got some great ideas on how to make the most of your remaining summer days. With August winding down, it’s that time of year again when we put away the swimsuits and send the kids off to school. There’s nothing I’ll miss more about summer than having a cold drink at poolside while soaking up some rays. Lucky for us, there’s still enough time to grab a great deal for a last-minute vacation. Whether you’re looking to sunbathe the afternoon away on a pristine beach in Miami, take the kids to Disney World for a fun-filled weekend in Orlando, or spend a few days exploring the sights and sounds of Midtown Manhattan, getaroom.com has hotel deals you’ll want to take advantage of before welcoming in the fall season.
Sizzling Deals in Sin City
I visited Las Vegas for the first time last summer, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The Las Vegas Strip features a bevy of restaurants and casinos, not to mention a pulsing nightlife scene. Of course, what better way to experience the beating pulse of Las Vegas than staying at its famed hotels? The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino has more than 4,000 all-suite accommodations and features 19 restaurants. If you’re thinking of visiting the downtown area, you’ll find 32,000 square feet of casino space and three cocktail lounges at the Four Queens Ho
tel and Casino. Squeeze in some time to shop at The Fremont Street Experience, which is only one block away from the California Hotel and Casino.
Great Hotel Rates in The Big Apple
It has been unusually cool this summer in New York City, making it a great destination for travelers seeking relief from the summer heat. Great rates are available at the Buckingham Hotel, a stylish boutique property set in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. After a busy day at Fifth Avenue, the Paramount Theatre, and other landmark New York attractions, Hotel Metro offers a calm respite with its library and newly redesigned rooftop terrace, from which I was able to take in great views of the Empire State Building. The renovated Belvedere Hotel, another great option in Manhattan, is conveniently within walking distance of Times Square. 
Vacationing in Sunny Florida
One of the best things about living in Florida is being close its beautiful beaches and world-renowned theme parks. South Beach, with its Art Deco buildings, restaurants and nightclubs, stands out as one of my favorite hot spots. And I can’t forget the bevy of great hotels the area has to offer. The Clevelander offers 60 revamped rooms, a rooftop terrace, an Art Deco pool and even an indoor music and dance venue – the 1020 Music Boxx – for those looking to have an end-of-summer party. If you plan on vacationing in Central Florida, the Best Western Orlando Gateway and Radisson Orlando Celebration Resort
are great properties in which to relax while being in close proximity to Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando and other main attractions. Orlando is a must visit for theme park enthusiasts. My kids and I just can’t get enough of these theme parks!
End-of-Summer Savings in Washington D.C.
With a new president in the oval office, there is no better time to tour this historic city. After checking out the Lincoln Memorial and Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History, choose from a number of great properties including the Capitol Hill Suites.

It’s hard to believe that we’re already in August! That means the summer is winding down and Labor Day, which lands on Monday, September 7 this year, is right around the corner. Over the past few weeks, we’ve highlighted properties in four stunning destinations – 
Make sure to plan ahead and book your travel plans as far in advance as possible. Print out several copies of maps, driving directions and hotel reservations should something get misplaced. If driving, it’s best to set out for your destination early in the morning so as to avoid heavy traffic. While it’s good to pack days ahead, a last minute check of all essentials (airline tickets, money, kids’ supplies, etc.) before heading off never hurts. You’ll also want to pack smart and check the latest baggage fees for your airline, as well as ensure that your bags are under the weight limit.
It’s always a good idea to bring chips, sandwiches and other snacks with you for the road. Not only will it keep the kids happy, but your pocketbook will thank you for it later! If you’d rather eat out, be sure to research which dining options each area has to offer. And if you’re planning to stay at a relative’s house, why not consider a family barbecue? Just make sure to wash your hands with soap and water before and after handling raw foods; once the food is set on the table and ready to eat, have all bowls and dishes covered to keep the pesky bugs away.
n this Labor Day. Washington DC plays host to a number of festivals and concerts – including Kids Day at Nationals Park and a Labor Day Concert at the U.S. Capitol – to entertain all age groups alike. If you’re traveling to New York, you can catch the Brooklyn Carnival, which has over 3 million participants on hand each year. And if you plan on visiting the Los Angeles area, check out the Orange International Street Fair.
Jeff here with yet another can’t-miss holiday destination. Our Labor Day series concludes in one of my all-time favorite hot spots – The Windy City. I travel here time and time again to catch Cubs games at Wrigley Field and Bulls games at the United Center, take relaxing walk
s at Lincoln Park, watch cool shows at the Adler Planetarium, and even gaze out at the Willis Tower which, to my surprise, is the tallest building in the United States. I’m also quite fond of animals, which is why I always frequent both the Lincoln Park and Brookfield zoos when I get the chance. No matter what, I always feel right at home in this city.
verdant parks, sizzling nightlife, and historic monuments will all compete for your attention. There is so much to see and do here, it’s no wonder this is the most populous city in the United States!
n East neighborhood, this property’s stylish accommodations make it perfect for those craving all things hip. Amenities here include a world-class restaurant and rooftop garden bar.
How about a cruise to melt your worries away?
