Secrets getting into booked hotels free#
As luck would have it I had a free night worth $120 to redeem, so I called their customer service line and booked a room at the gorgeous Pullman for Amoma’s price of $199. The benefit of that is that I’m a member of their Welcome Rewards program, which means that after every 10 rooms booked through them I get a free night. It means that if you find the same room on another site, they will match the price. I clicked on the site to verify that Amoma was in fact selling the double superior room for $199 (after tax), then went ahead and called which just so happens to have a best rate guarantee. It shows that has the room listed for $186!!!

Now you may be thinking, “OK, that looks gorgeous but the price is $379 plus taxes.” That’s correct, but check out the box below with the other compared prices.

So after typing in my dates, I started browsing hotels and one caught my eye.

I was not looking forward to the prospect of staying in a dorm with a twin bed and shared bathroom for $200 per night. I’m heading to Munich for Oktoberfest (yay!) but of course that means rooms are at a premium-we’re talking about four times more expensive than usual. In 2013, Trip Advisor released a fantastic feature that not only lets you compare hotels based on ratings, but also pulls up pricing for the room on a dozen different websites in one handy box.

So imagine how delighted I was to book a beautiful $400/night hotel room for $80. Once confirmed, you can live like a celebrity for a night or two.There’s nothing I like more than a sweet deal, especially when it gets me first class travel. Send an email through to the manager and ask for the property’s most private, most secluded room. Even though the rooms aren’t advertised on, you can still rent them if you receive the go-ahead from hotel management. Not a celebrity? If you have the cash to splash for a high-end hotel room like this, you might still be able to stay in one. The point is to be seen – at least, in the circles in which it is important to be seen – catering to the A-list’s desire for utmost discretion and confidentiality. Many hotels make a point to have their private, top-secret suites always available, on the off chance that a super VIP might turn up out of the blue. The purpose of these rooms isn’t necessarily to make truckloads and truckloads of money. Over in Las Vegas, at 21 Boulevard, the only people who can reserve the penthouses are those who drop more than one million on the tables in the high roller rooms. At the Hotel Bennett, the suite is booked by invitation from the owner only. The NoMad in Los Angeles and Hotel Bennett in Charleston also keep their most expensive, most extravagant room off the books. The Retreat isn’t the only hotel to offer a top-secret hotel room for very special clients. “It’s not visible to other guests, and there is nothing that indicates it is there.”

“No-one ever needs to know you’re there,” Mar Masson, director of marketing for The Retreat’s parent company told Australian Business Traveller. But considering the suite isn’t advertised on the resort’s website, and no-one knows about it except for ultra-VIPs – you can’t even see it from the other parts of the hotel – we’re guessing that it’s purely for celebrity guests wanting the one experience that money can buy: Total isolation. There’s a two-night minimum stay, and at more than $10,500 a night, that’s a pretty hefty price tag for a hotel room.

This extra suite is spread across a sprawling two floors and boasts kitchen and dining areas, a hidden deck, sauna, spa and – here’s the kicker – a completely secluded cordoned off area of the Blue Lagoon in which to swim.
