If you’re not too holiday-partied-out between Jan. 6 and Jan. 15, 2012, we have a shot during engagement a hotel in New York City – even in Times Square – for as small as $100.
The $100-a-night deals can be found for hotels such as a new boutique hotel in Long Island City or a simple hotel in Times Square that includes a continental breakfast. For $200 or $250, we can book a some-more upscale hotel.
So what’s a deal? Eight hotels are fasten what will hopefully be New York’s first-ever, annual “Hotel Week,” that is modeled after a ever-popular Restaurant Week concept.

Hotel broadside organisation Nancy J. Friedman Public Relations came adult with a “Hotel Week” thought and is kicking it off with 6 customer hotels and dual non-clients properties: a mint Hyatt 48 Lex as as good as Hyatt’s stylish Andaz Wall Street.
Noting a success of Restaurant Week, publicist Nancy Friedman’s aim is to make this an annual event.
I cruise it’s a good idea, and one that other cities should consider.

Even yet a timing follows a chaotic holiday period, there are still copiousness of people who could be lured by discount rates. And a pre-holiday timing also creates it probable to buy a night or dual for people on your present list who live in a Tri-State area and find excuses to expostulate into a city (hmmm…sounds a lot like my relatives on Long Island!).
The hotels participating in Friedman’s Hotel Week will retard out bedrooms for $100, $200 or $250, depending on a property, so as we competence expect, these rates are theme to availability.
Fine print
Are there catches? Sure.
You contingency discuss “Hotel Week” when we book. Some hotels, such as a smart Gansevoort Park Avenue, also lists bedrooms for some-more than $250 so only be wakeful that we might see higher-priced – yet still ignored – options. Finally, design a simple room for a promo price, solely in a box of a Pod Hotel, where a rate includes an upgrade.
The 10-day Hotel Week duration – that includes dual full weekends – falls in what’s typically one of a slowest durations for New York City tourism.
