Hotel Week Is Hitting NYC In January, So You Can Take The Dream Vacation You've Been Waiting For

I don't know about you, but I always have a major case of the travel bug. Between booking flights, taking tours, and figuring out where to stay, though, planning a trip can get extremely pricey. So it should come as no surprise that I always try to seek out a discount whenever possible. From Groupons to points, there are so many ways to save cash, but one of the best discounts all year long is during Hotel Week. And in case you're interested in when Hotel Week 2019 is, it's coming up super soon in The Big Apple.

Aside from New Year's Day, something to look forward to this January is Hotel Week in New York City, according toTravel + Leisure. Between Jan. 4 and Jan. 14, 2019, a wide variety of hotels throughout the City That Never Sleeps will be offering discounted stays at some of the most luxurious hotels imaginable. You'll be able to stay at The Refinery Hotel in Midtown, Manhattan for only $200 per night using the code HOTELWEEK, at the William Vale in Williamsburg, Brooklyn for $200 using the code WVHOTEL, and at the Wolcott Hotel in NoMad, Manhattan for only $100, using the code NJW2019. Make sure to check their website to see more participating locations, though — you definitely won't want to miss out on living that suite life (LOL).

It turns out Hotel Week NYC has quite an extensive history. According to program's website, Nancy Friedman, who was formerly in the hospitality industry, came up with the concept of Hotel Week NYC all by herself. This actually happens to be its seventh year running (yes, you heard that correctly) and not only does it allow for travelers to travel on the cheap during the beginning of the year, but it also gives hotels throughout the Metropolitan area the chance to increase sales during their "quiet season" after everyone has already traveled to their heart's content for the holiday season. In its seventh year, it sounds like it's been pretty successful to me.

If you think you might be interested in participating in this glorious week of travel next year, make sure to subscribe to Hotel Week NYC through the "About" page on their website.
