"This
interesting selection of luxury properties, many small, was put together by a
team that knows the properties so well they can tell you which are the best
rooms to reserve and why. BestHotelsResorts.com will also put together
other aspects of your trip, from a private jet to making dining reservations as
a service to their clients. When money isn't an issue, many travelers prefer to
turn to an expert for one-stop vacation planning, so they can just lay out
their desires and a travel pro will handle the details. They don't have a lot
of time and don't want to spend time at a resort that doesn't meet their
expectations, explains Ken Simms, president of BestHotelsResorts.com".

08 How To Save On Summer Travel To Europe by...Tiffany M.

The weak
dollar doesn't mean you have to substitute Roman Holiday for National Lampoon's
European Vacation. "Those set on a hotel stay may find working with an
experienced hotel booking company can help them navigate the exchange rate by
negotiating better nightly hotel rates." "We are making an extra effort to ask
our hotels and resorts to give our clients a break," says Ken Simms, president
of SybariticConcierge.com, a full-service Web-based travel agency that caters
to high-net-worth travelers. "Most of the hotels in Europe will work with us on
the more expensive suites," says Simms, "especially if their occupancy is down
." SybariticConcierge.com recently booked a deluxe suite in a five-star London
hotel for 2,000 pounds per night instead of the rack rate of 3,000 pounds per
night--a savings of $1,969 per night. |
