New York, London and Los Angeles are all top tourist destinations, which means the number of hotel rooms available can be overwhelming. By using a website such as EliteRooms.com, travelers to these cities find the best deals on the luxury hotels New York and Los Angeles have to offer, plus bargains on the 5 star hotels London has. We used EliteRooms.com to find a luxury budget hotel in each of these cities:
Los Angeles – Elan Hotel, 8435 Beverly Blvd. We started with the city that offers the most luxury for your money, in comparison to the others. The discounts are always deeper at Los Angeles luxury hotels, especially if you book through EliteRooms.com. We found this 4 star hotel for a mere $160 (USD) a night in June. Sitting just half a mile from Beverly Hills and on the edge of West Hollywood, its modern guestrooms feature complimentary wireless internet access, clock radios with iPod docking stations, flat-panel TVs, 400-thread count linens and an honor fridge. Complimentary breakfast is served in the hotel’s Cyber Lounge, from 6:30 to 10:30 a.m., and the hotel also holds social hours. Los Angeles luxury hotels don’t get any hipper than this one.
London – Threadneedles, 5 Threadneedles St. Tourists with St. Paul’s Cathedral at the top of their must-see list can’t go wrong with Threadneedles, one of the more unusual 5 star hotels London has to offer. This luxury boutique hotel was originally built in 1965 as a banking hall, and remnants of those days can still be seen throughout the hotel, in the form of solid oak doors and marble columns. The on-site restaurant also follows the banking theme, with the name of Bond, and serves modern French cuisine. Guestrooms fall into the “comfortable modern” category, each with Egyptian cotton and down bedding, plus a limestone bathtub. Complimentary wireless internet access runs through the hotel. Through EliteRooms.com, we found a nightly rate of $268 (USD) in June, which puts Threadneedles on par with the other 5 star hotels London has to offer.
New York – The Library, 299 Madison Ave. The theme of this luxury hotel is books, obviously, with each of the rooms including shelves filled with 25 to 100 books on a particular subject. In addition, the rooms are arranged in the hotel according to the Dewey Decimal System, with floors dedicated to categories such as language, the arts and philosophy. This boutique hotel feels more like a private club than a hotel, and it shows in the regular rack rate. By going through EliteRooms.com, though, we found a rate of $369 (USD) a night in June. One of the quirkier luxury hotels New York has to offer, the Library is worth its nightly rate.
In addition to the great deals EliteRooms.com has on the luxury hotels New York and London have to offer, and Los Angeles luxury hotels, the website features rooms from hotel providers – more than 80,000, all 3 star and higher – worldwide. The simple-to-use search incorporates Google maps, making it easy to see proximity to attractions. There are no booking fees, and the website accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
