4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in New York

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit New York is from January to March, when hotel prices are typically lower. For those looking to experience the city’s rich history and vibrant culture, a stay of at least 3 to 4 days is recommended. This duration allows visitors to explore iconic landmarks, the architectural marvels of its skyscrapers, and renowned museums, all while enjoying the city's lively theatre scene and stunning urban scenery. With careful planning, you can truly make the most of your time in the city without breaking the bank, as prices may drop during these months, offering great value for money.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to New York, begin by exploring the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. Enable email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and special promotions, ensuring you won't miss potential savings. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities effortlessly. If prices drop or rooms become available, you'll be among the first to know, making it easier to secure a fantastic last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on various factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a New York hotel.
