Fancy Upgrading?  Try a luxury hotel deal!

Fancy hotels, like frequent air travel, were once beyond the bank balance of travellers or backpackers.
Now, that's all changed - and just like the Ryanair revolution, it seems you can't move for [ luxury hotel deals ] at places

get a night at a luxury hotel: a great treat after roughing it on the road for awhile.  So, get inspired by our list of glitzy hotels
with great rates, for those times you want to treat yourself to a night without hearing strangers snoring in the next bunk...
