4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Washington

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Washington is during January, February, and December, when hotel prices are generally lower. For a fulfilling experience, plan to stay for at least 2 to 3 days to fully appreciate the city’s key landmarks, cultural attractions, and natural sites. This budget-friendly trip can include visits to museums, monuments, historical sites, as well as opportunities for walking in beautiful parks, enjoying the theatre, and indulging in dining experiences. Travelling during this period not only offers great value for money but also allows you to explore the rich history and culture of the area without breaking the bank.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals in Washington, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates on accommodations close to your travel date. By enabling email alerts or push notifications, you could stay updated on flash sales and special promotions, maximising your chances of great savings. Additionally, the Smart Shopping feature in the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you find the best hotel deal. With updates on price drops or room availability, you'll be well-equipped to secure a fantastic last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on various factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Being flexible with your travel dates may help you save on your stay in a Washington hotel. If you're after something a bit different, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and occasionally better value.

For those looking for more affordable options, consider hotels in less central areas or neighbourhoods, striking a balance between cost and ease of access to the sights you plan to visit. You might also look into independent hotels located a bit further out, as they usually tend to be more affordable and can offer a more authentic experience.
