October 2, 2023: See Fall Foliage in Yosemite And Chicago
It’s the leaf peeping season again. Some would argue that fall is the best time to travel across the U.S. Tourists disappear (mostly), prices often get slashed, and most importantly, red and orange leaves turn the scenes dramatic. So, if you’ve been thinking of a fall driving trip, we found two hotels at popular destinations that will make this journey much cheaper.
Yosemite
Leaf-peepers will love the quietness of the Yosemite National Park after a full summer season. Drive around the Yosemite Creek picnic area and visit the Yosemite Valley to see the colors of fall on maple and oak trees.
The Pines Resort Chalet on Bass Lake is a gorgeous location amidst the High Sierras. The hotel offers 84 cabins with mountains all around, so you’ll wake up to the brilliance of nature each morning. Stay for two nights in the two-story chalet with a kitchen, living room, and a private patio for $279 upwards from November to March. Or, you can get the Lakeside Suite for $379 for two nights.

You’ll also get a $50 dining credit. Dates in October are also available, though at higher prices. Vouchers are refundable for 14 days in case your plans change.

Chicago
Chicago is known for its beautiful parks, so it’s another good choice for a fall trip. Lincoln Park, Chicago Botanic Garden, Galena, Millennium Park, and Morton Arboretum offer the perfect setup for those autumnal Instagram photos. If you’re willing to drive a bit more, the Starved Rock State Park is a fall wonderland with exciting hiking opportunities.
While you’re finding colors, you can stay at Swissotel Chicago, which has great views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago River if you want to also watch the leaves from this glass building. The 662-guestroom hotel also features a newly-designed fitness center on the 43rd floor, so you can work out watching the Windy City.
You can book a Classic City View King or Doubles Room from November 19-December 29 for $99 and upgrade to get river or lake view for $25-35 per night. This is a 50% discount on regular prices. You can get this deal now and cancel for free 72 hours prior to check-in if you change your mind.

Remember to check the weather before you select cruise dates. May to November is the dry season and also the most popular and crowded. The wet season from November to April has risk of cyclones, which probably won’t be a pleasant experience on a cruise.
September 18, 2023: End the Year With a Luxury Trip to the Maldives or Mexico
Want to have one last big travel bash this year? There’s a giant deal on a Maldives hotel. And a luxury Riviera Maya pool villa will save you as much as 50%. Both hotel stays have travel dates through December, so you’ll have to act fast.
The Maldives
There is no introduction required for the Maldives. So we won’t go into destination details. But here’s one reminder: It’s typically a very expensive holiday spot. But one hotel stay is currently 75% cheaper than its normal rates.
Fushifaru Maldives, a five-star boutique resort on a private island, is inviting guests to make their dream vacation a reality. At $2,999, you can stay at Fushifaru Maldives for five nights in a Beach Villa with a private outdoor garden and direct access to the beach or in a Jacuzzi Water Villa with a hot tub and a private sundeck.

The resort is all-inclusive and offers complimentary access to Wi-Fi, kids’ club, and use of snorkeling gear and non-motorized sports. A 9-night stay starts at $5,399 and you can also extend your stay for $599 per night.
It’s a small property with only 63 rooms, so it affords you a ton of privacy. It’s a great place for snorkeling—people dive to see manta rays around the island. Go on a dhoni cruise; turn up for yoga in the morning; walk on the sandbanks; and visit a local island—the Maldives is a beautiful country.
