As a travel writer, I’ve been fortunate enough to see many destinations across the globe, visit all types of hotels, try out different airlines, and set sail on various cruise lines. This culmination of experience means I know a thing or two when it comes to good value in the travel industry — and, like anyone else, I love a good deal.
With the advent of Travel Tuesday (basically the Black Friday and Cyber Monday of travel deals) happening November 28 this year, plenty of these travel deals I love are already happening or on the horizon. In fact, the Travel Tuesday and Cyber Week deals are some of the best savings I see all year, and this year they include steep discounts, free nights, perks, and more — and that includes big brands like Delta, Hyatt, and Marriott.
As you get your Travel Tuesday strategy in place, remember to check the fine print, as many deals start or end on different dates, and some sales have booking windows, caps, blackout dates, or other restrictions. I did some of the hard work for you by finding some of the best Travel Tuesday deals out there so you can score savings, upgrades, extra nights, and more.
Best Travel Tuesday Hotel Deals
IHG Hotels & Resorts: The folks behind hotel brands like Intercontinental, Six Senses, Kimpton, Holiday Inn and more have all types of savings. At participating Iberostar Beachfront Resorts, you can take advantage of IHG’s maximum 40 percent discount for stays booked by November 28 until October 31, 2024, or December 20, 2024, depending on the exact location. The easiest way to save a cool 20 percent on other hotels is by booking through the IHG One Rewards app, but you can also take advantage of credit card incentives, bookings made with cash and points, and more.
World of Hyatt: World of Hyatt acquired the luxury hotel booking platform Mr & Mrs Smith earlier this year, and to celebrate, through March 31, 2024, WoH members get exclusive access to purchase Mr & Mrs Smith gift cards that earn them an impressive five base points for every $1 spent at MrMrsSmith.Redeam.com.
Marriott Bonvoy: Marriott Bonvoy is toting its biggest Cyber Week Sale to date, and members receive 20 percent off bookings made by November 28 for stays occurring November 26, 2023, through January 15, 2024. To sweeten the deal, non-members will also receive 15 percent off bookings across popular hotel brands including Marriott, Sheraton, Westin, W, Luxury Collection, and more. You can use your Marriott Bonvoy app to score the savings, or visit marriottbonvoy.com/escapes.
Hilton: Select Hilton properties are offering discounts of up to 50 percent off on stays booked during the holiday season. Pro tip: The best Travel Tuesday deals are in Mexico (Hilton Cancun Mar Caribe All-Inclusive Resort), Florida (Hilton Orlando), Vegas (Virgin Hotels Las Vegas) and South America (Hilton Cartagena, Hilton Barra Rio de Janeiro, Hilton Bogota), so make sure to check the fine print.
Rosewood Hotels: Treat yourself (or others) to a plush stay at some of Rosewood’s most sought-after properties like Rosewood Little Dix Bay and Rosewood Phuket. On trips taking place through June 30, 2024, simply use the code CYBER23 when you book on rosewoodhotels.com for discounts (based on your length of stay). For example, you can get 35 percent off the best available rates when you book a Rosewood accommodation between November 24 and 28, 2023, but booking over five nights will earn a 50 percent discount on your stay.
The Standard Hotels: It’s a short window, but between Black Friday and Travel Tuesday, The Standard Hotels have rooms across all hotel properties at 35 percent off the best available rate for stays between November 14 and August 31, 2024. That includes top international cities like Bangkok, Melbourne, and London; there are select blackout dates during that time, but that shouldn’t dissuade you from booking the boutique hotel brand known for its playful nature.
Topnotch Resort: if you’re in need of some top-notch pampering, this is the place for you. The cute Vermont resort with a serious spa and great tennis center is offering a special deal that starts on November 27 even prior to Travel Tuesday. Dubbed One Night, One Room, One Hundred Dollars, travelers can secure one room priced at just $100 (excluding taxes and resort fees). There’s just one available per night between the period of November 2, 2023, to August 31, 2024, with the sale ending when 100 nights of reservations have been booked. Our advice: read the fine print and be stealthy, because nights will go fast!
