DALLAS, April 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Back by popular demand, Hotels.com®, a leading provider of lodging worldwide, is bringing back for the third year in a row its Luxury for Less and Book Early for Summer Sale promotions. Travelers who like to stay in style at four and five star hotels can find deals starting at $96 a night with Hotels.com's Luxury for Less sale.

Luxury For Less

Plush accommodations and renowned concierge services are available as part of Hotels.com's Luxury for Less sale, for cities such as Chicago, Las Vegas, Boston, and even in an exotic locale like Buenos Aires.

As identified in the Hotels.com® 2009 Hotel Price Index™ (HPI®), the price gap between three, four, and five star hotels narrowed in 2009, giving business or leisure travellers the chance to book great deals at top properties. "Hoteliers are trying to fill rooms in four to five star hotels which allow customers to grab them at three to four star prices," says Taylor Cole, APR, director of public relations.

As part of the Luxury for Less promotion, the five-star Ritz-Carlton Chicago starts at $250 per night for a three night stay with the third night free, while The Royal Sonesta Hotel Boston, a four star hotel, starts at $135 a night. Luxury deals of 40% off can be found at Rooney's Boutique Hotel in Buenos Aires with rooms starting at $116 per night while the five star Venetian Resort Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas is offering $150 in resort extras.

Luxury for Less is available now through May 3rd for travel until May 17.

Early Summer Sale

Families looking to hit the road for Memorial Day and Fourth of July weekends can save more by booking now at almost 1000 hotels with Book Early for Summer Sale. Travelers will find great deals and low rates on hotels like New York's Empire Hotel starting at $259 per night, or at sun and sand destinations like Myrtle Beach at ResortQuest Rentals where rates start at $83 a night. Those staying four nights at the Regal Palms Resort and Spa in Davenport, right next to Orlando, will save almost 45% with rates starting at $139 per night for a four bedroom private home with pool.

"Travelers may procrastinate and quite frankly, rooms sell out. So for the third year in a row, Hotels.com is bringing back its Book Early for Summer Sale promotion to help consumers get great summer deals," says Taylor.
