Hotels are absolutely ludicrously priced at the moment. Speaking with several hotel managers it would seem that the combination of high demand coupled with poor earnings in the first 3 quarters of the financial year means that for the final quarter of the year, they aren’t holding back by massively inflating the prices.
This then is post 1 of a 6-part series of posts covering the cheapest luxury 5-star properties in Europe from hotel chains starting with Marriott. I haven’t stayed at any of these properties, but the chances are you’ll be in for a decent stay if you end up booking one. This is more of a highlight reel of stellar deals at a time when Premier Inn’s are charging close to £200 a night…
Marriott’s luxury brands are:
- The Ritz-Carlton
- JW Marriott
- St Regis
- Ritz-Carlton Reserve
- The Luxury Collection
- W Hotels
- Edition
