What are the best last-minute hotel deals.

If you're looking for last-minute hotel deals, Expedia has got you covered. You'll find excellent prices thanks to the thousands of trusted hotel partners we work with throughout the United States. Typically, booking in advance is the best way to get deals, but life doesn't always offer that luxury. When you're stuck trying to find a hotel during an unexpected event or you just want to travel on a whim, Expedia offers extensive choices and  deals  that allow you to plan your ideal trip without having to book months ahead.

How can I find last-minute hotel deals?

When you're looking for that perfect last-minute getaway, all you have to do is check out the available deals at Expedia. These deals will show up in green above the final price per night for hotel offerings, highlighting how much you'll save when you book for any time in the next two weeks. This works for  vacation rentals  as well.

How can I get a cheap last-minute hotel room?

For travelers who want to get the most affordable last-minute hotel room possible, flexibility matters most. If you can be more flexible regarding the exact dates you want to travel, as well as the destination itself, you'll have a better time finding the best deals. That's true even when you opt for places like  hotels in Las Vegas  or  vacation rentals in Myrtle Beach .

Can I cancel my last-minute hotel reservations?

Cancellation, like booking, traditionally has to be done well in advance, but Expedia understands that unforeseen circumstances can call for more last-minute decisions. That's why we strive to offer flexibility in all our bookings, because where you book matters, even if it's for rentals that are in high demand like  Panama City Beach hotels . Many available hotel deals come with free cancellation even with last-minute booking.

Terms and Conditions

Offers are valid for stay dates within the next 14 days.

Discounts will be applied to the standard rate of selected hotels.

Hotel prices displayed are per room per stay based on the cheapest double room available, inclusive of all taxes and service fees but exclude any fees payable at or to the hotel.

Flight prices quoted are per person based on the cheapest return flights, inclusive of all taxes.

Package prices quoted are per person per stay based on the cheapest return flights and two people sharing the cheapest double room, inclusive of all taxes.

Prices are updated regularly and are accurate when published.

Prices displayed are for stays or flights on the specific dates shown.

Additional baggage charges may apply to flights and to packages, including flights provided by low cost airlines.

Blackout periods may apply. Please check individual hotel or airline for details.

Offers are subject to limited availability and may be discontinued without notice.

Please click through to individual deals to confirm prices, availability and applicable terms and conditions for those deals.

Best Travel Deals of December 2023 – Save Big on Expedia, Priceline, & More

Looking to lock down late travel details for your winter or spring getaway? Check out these December travel deals to save on your next trip.

Best Travel Deals

U.S. News takes an unbiased approach to our recommendations. When you use our links to buy products, we may earn a commission but that in no way affects our editorial independence.

If you're trying to find deals on a last-minute holiday trip or book a winter or early spring getaway, we've rounded up some December deals to help steer you in the right direction and save money on travel expenses to get you where you're going for less.

Planning ahead is a surefire way to save. Booking domestic flights about three weeks to three months in advance can yield the best savings. With that time frame, reserving one-way or round-trip air travel in December can save you money on late winter getaways, Spring Break travel, or even just a weekend getaway. For international trips, you'll want to book about three to six months in advance – or up to 10 months in advance during a destination's peak season – to get the lowest airfare.

Winter is a big time for travel to warmer climates, so it might be harder to find the best deals this month but be sure to check travel sites for last-minute discounts.

Sites like Priceline , Expedia , Booking.com , and Orbitz are offering discounts on flights, hotels, and travel bundles this month. Hotel and rental car companies are also giving exclusive discounts when you book through them.

Today’s Best Travel Sales

Current deals can be found on some of the most popular travel booking websites and brands. December deals include:

• Booking.com : up to 15% off Getaway Deals for stays through Jan. 3, 2024

20% or more off hotel stays

Priceline 's new service, Pricebreakers , reduces the price of stays at top-rated hotels by up to 50%.

The company says it's only able to offer these marked-down prices from certain hotels discreetly, so the exact accommodation isn't transparent until you've booked it.

Travel Deals – Tips To Save

Having a coupon isn’t the only way to save money on travel plans. Finding the best price on top of a discount can mean significantly more savings. Here are tips to save:

Track prices

Monitoring the price of flights, hotels, cars, cruises, and other accommodations will help you find the best price. Many travel sites have a tracking feature or allow you to save trip searches so you can monitor prices of one-way and round-trip flights, rentals, or other accommodations you’re interested in and be notified when prices drop.

Use a travel app to find the lowest price

A number of apps can also track prices and give you options, letting you know which are the cheapest. Some examples are Scott's Cheap Flights, Skyscanner, Hopper, and Kiwi.

In addition, some booking sites offer discounts if you download and use their app for the reservation process. The website should note if this is an option, so be sure to look for it if you're interested.

Shop during sales

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are popular sale days for big discounts across the board, and that includes travel deals. And don't forget about Travel Tuesday, which follows Cyber Monday and features a variety of deals – from extra points on flight bookings to a free night stay and other discounts on accommodations as well as vacation packages.

For other times of the year, signing up for email newsletters from your favorite travel websites will keep you in the know of upcoming sales. Some have weekly or even daily sales.

Browse different sites 

Some sites may offer lower prices than others. By shopping around, you’ll see the different options and prices available for your trip. Don’t dismiss booking directly from an airline, hotel, or cruise company, as they may have offers not available through third-party sites.

Time your trip

Certain months yield lower prices. In general, January and August are known for cheaper airfare, so researching off-season months for your trip destination can keep more money in your pocket and help you avoid tourist-heavy periods.

Be flexible with your trip details if you can

This won't always be possible, but if you can keep your options open, you might find a great deal on a flight to a specific destination or a hotel in an area you might not have originally considered. Timing, too, can impact price, so if you can alter your travel dates, you may be able to take advantage of vacation deals.

Join membership programs

If you’re loyal to certain companies or websites, consider joining their membership programs to earn member-only discounts. Some may even give you a coupon or other reward, such as bonus points, for signing up. Plus, you'll be notified about sales, including hotel deals, cruise deals, and other promotions.

Consider using a travel rewards credit card

Some membership programs offer travel credit cards that you can use for everyday purchases like groceries and gas to earn points for future travel discounts. If you want more flexibility, choose a rewards card not affiliated with one travel company. If you travel frequently and generally use credit cards for purchases, this could be a good way to save on trip expenses.

One thing to check before signing up for a card is its annual fee. Some have no fee, while others may charge several hundreds of dollars per year.

Use your points

Similarly, if you collect points or miles, check to see if you've accumulated enough to save on your travel costs. Some programs also allow you to purchase points, which could be a cost-effective method to pay for your trip, depending on the point conversion rate.

The Cheapest U.S. Beach Destinations

As the cold winter months fade, many of us find our daydreams drifting to warm sandy beaches and the prospect of a relaxing summer getaway. However, popular coastal destinations can come with a premium price tag, quickly putting those visions of an affordable beach vacation out of reach. 

Fortunately, a recent study by the travel experts at Divein aims to uncover the most affordable beach spots across the country. To determine the cheapest beach vacation destinations, the Divein team analyzed the median cost for popular American beach destinations for a six-night hotel stay for two adults, along with typical meal and beer prices.

The findings highlight the nation’s most inexpensive beach destinations, which deliver big value for a small cost. For those looking to indulge their summer wanderlust without breaking the bank, these enticing locales deserve a spot at the top of your list.  

These are the cheapest U.S. beach destinations where you’ll get the most bang for your buck. 

Twelvemile Beach, Michigan

Topping the list as the most budget-friendly beach destination is Twelvemile Beach in Michigan. As you may have guessed, this area is home to a 12-mile-long stretch of gorgeous sand beach along the shores of Lake Superior.

For those looking to keep costs as low as possible, Twelvemile Beach has a very affordable and popular campground where you can sleep right on the beach. Still, if you’re looking for a few more amenities, nearby hotel stays average just $464 for six nights. Visitors can enjoy affordable meals for around $20 and beers for $7.50 while enjoying the untouched natural beauty.

Mustang Island State Park, Texas  

Mustang Island State Park in Texas is not far behind Twelvemile Beach in affordability. This state park gem delivers the classic Texas beach experience without the inflated prices found at many popular tourist areas. 

For travelers really looking to maximize their savings, Mustang Island has budget-friendly overnight options right within the park’s boundaries. There are 48 campsites with water and electricity, as well as 50 primitive sites for a more rustic experience. If you’d rather stay in a hotel, there are numerous ones available nearby for less than $100 per night.

The Essential Beach Packing List

Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina

Known for its great waves and beautiful sand, Wrightsville Beach is America’s third most affordable beach destination. Voted as one of the top surfing towns in the world by National Geographic and one of the best SUP hubs in the U.S. by Outside Magazine, Wrightsville Beach is a paradise for watersports lovers. This walkable island offers plenty to do on land as well, including The Loop fitness trail, beachside yoga, or shopping in the open-air villages. 

Located a short drive from Wilmington, Wrightsville Beach offers an affordable oceanfront escape, with meals costing around $15 and beer at just $4. A six-night hotel stay costs an average of just $636 for the entire week.

Coast Guard Beach, Cape Cod, Massachusetts

The area around Coast Guard Beach in Eastham, Massachusetts, is a surprisingly affordable beach destination. This classic Cape Cod beach is the start of what Henry David Thoreau named the “Great Beach,” a beautiful, long stretch of sandy coastline that stretches for over 20 miles. With sandy shores and relatively calm waves, this beach is popular for swimming during the summer. 

Coast Guard Beach is part of the National Seashore in Massachusetts, so you won’t find a mega beachfront resort here. Instead, venture to the surrounding towns, where you can find small bed and breakfasts and boutique hotels that will only cost an average of $651 for a six-night stay. 

Sand Beach, Acadia National Park, Maine

For a less traditional but still affordable beach vacation, head to Sand Beach, located within Acadia National Park in Maine. Although it’s not your typical hot-weather beach destination (brace yourself for chilly water even in August), this unique setting offers a distinctly New England coastal experience that’s popular with national park visitors.  

As the name implies, Sand Beach stands out with its rare swath of soft sand—it’s the largest beach along Acadia’s iconic rocky shoreline. Stay past sunset to enjoy the best of Sand Beach—this remote destination is an incredible spot for stargazing.

Since there are no lodges or hotels within Acadia’s borders, beach-goers must stay outside the park in one of the many charming towns nearby. Opt for a hotel on the outskirts of Bar Harbor (where most people stay to visit Acadia) to find the best deals.

Affordable summer vacations 2024: how and where to travel for less.

• Share to Facebook

• Share to Linkedin

Monte Argentario in Tuscany, Italy—one of the cheapest destinations to head this summer?

As Google reveals that one of its most popular travel search trends is currently 'cheap summer vacations', there are lots of ways that travelers can find ideas to travel for less.

This is particularly important as Bloomberg reports that the post-pandemic travel boom, merged with curbs on hotel construction, overtourism and restrictions on Airbnb in many cities, is sending hotel rates sky high, especially in Europe.

It's also clear that travelers might be feeling the pinch. Vacasa, the home rental platform found that while 4th July and Memorial Day will be the big summer travel weekends, its poll suggests that some people have shifted their travel plans or planning behavior to be more budget conscious (81% of respondents), driven significantly by higher cost of living and inflation (74%).

Ways To Find Cheap Summer Vacations

Bloomberg recommends ignoring Instagram feeds for overhyped, over-expensive destinations and instead hitting places under the social radar for cheap summer vacations —in Italy, this might be the picturesque Costiera Cilentana, an hour from the Amalfi coast or the stylish but under-developed peninsula of Monte Argentario, just 90 minutes from Rome's Fiumicino airport.

If Italy still seems like too much on the beaten European track, Romania's travel star has been rising for a while, hot on the heels of the much-beloved (and still relatively cheap) Albania .

The Best Self Cleaning Litter Boxes Tested For Months

Aurora alert: why you now need to pack a bag for sudden solar storms, leak reveals an etf perfect storm could be heading toward bitcoin after 6 trillion fed inflation flip unleashed a crypto price boom.

There are also alternatives to the hotel for cheap summer vacations. Bloomberg reports that European hotel rates have increased 50% since 2019, according to market researcher CoStar Group, so maybe a boat would be better value.

Alternatively, HomeExchange, the home swap website, allows members unlimited exchanges for only $220 per year, meaning you can travel relatively cheaply but also visit places that might not be quite so crowded this summer.

The U.K's Telegraph also advocates finding some of the nicest youth hostels or staying in a mountain bothy in Britain —these are remote shelters in some of the most breathtaking hills and woods across the U.K. that are free to use for just an annual subscription of $32 from The Mountain Bothies Association. There are similar refuge schemes across Europe in the most spectacular places—many also run a basic menu for breakfast and dinner.

Change your mode of travel for cheap summer vacations. Though there are cheaper ways to fly (the London to New York route remains one of the most competitive, if you are available to fly at any time) but one of the most inexpensive ways to travel on holiday this summer might be by train.

The Telegraph lists several examples, notably Eurostar tickets if you book a long time in advance (around $50 one-way)—it's sometimes easier to find deals if you book to Brussels and not London to Paris. The 51-hour rail journey from Chicago, Illinois to Emeryville, California can be had for just under $100 if booked in advance.

Inter-railing across Europe can be cost-effective or you can take the train on a 28-hour, 1,300-mile journey from New Delhi to Goa for just $13 (first class is only $67)—and it can cost less than a dollar to travel across parts of the Himalayas.

Change your mode of finance for cheap summer vacations. One final way of limiting the damage is to use multi-trip travel insurance (if you travel often) and definitely go for a bank card that doesn't add on charges for overseas use and find one that charges lower fees when transfering between different exchange rates.

Amazon Just Released a Slew of Genius New Travel Finds — All Under $50

Think Apple AirTags, Bagsmart belt bags, and Glow Recipe tinted serums, starting at $7.

Travel + Leisure / Daisy Rodriguez

Weekend getaways, tropical excursions, and outdoor staycations are all on the horizon this summer. So if you’re on the hunt for new travel finds that’ll come in handy during your trip, check out this must-see Amazon list. 

Amazon has tons of clever travel essentials, including several new items that just dropped for May. While the Hot New Releases hub doesn’t have a designated travel section, you don’t have to worry because we did the digging for you. That said, you’ll discover breezy dresses, nifty bags, versatile plug converters, and even Apple AirTags — all under $50. 

Amazon New Releases Under $50

• Apple AirTag , $25 (originally $29) 
• Larmliss Crewneck Short-Sleeve Tunic Beach Dress with Pockets , $23 
• Project Cloud Flat Sandals , $29 (originally $40)
• Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Hue Drops , $35
• Bagsmart Belt Bag , $11 with coupon (originally $20)
• Simple Modern Mesa Water Bottle with Straw Lid , $23 (originally $30)
• “Funny Story” by Emily Henry , $19 (originally $29)
• Mapambo Travel Power Converter , $43
• Monday Haircare Original Dry Shampoo , $7 (originally $8)
• Taygeer Carry-on Backpack , $34 (originally $51)

Apple AirTag

Apple AirTags can locate your wallet, keys, or earbuds, but travelers particularly like to stick them in their luggage. Why? This way, you can keep tabs on your suitcase at any given moment, which will be especially helpful during connecting flights. This single AirTag, which was recently launched at Amazon, is durable, water- and dust-resistant, and is compatible with Apple phones ranging from the iPhone 11 to iPhone 12 Pro Max. 

Larmliss Crewneck Short-Sleeve Tunic Beach Dress with Pockets

An easy, breezy dress, like this cute crewneck option , is just the thing to throw on as you head to the beach, walk around the resort, or sightsee with a group. Made with cotton and polyester, you’ll notice the dress is both breathable and lightweight, which is ideal for days spent in the sun. Plus, it’s designed with hidden side pockets to stash your phone, room key, or lip balm. It’s available in midi and maxi lengths, as well as 38 colors and prints. 

Project Cloud Flat Sandals

With all that walking you’ll be doing this summer, it’s wise to invest in a good pair of sandals. These discounted Project Cloud sandals are a nice option; they have a memory foam insole, adjustable straps, and a non-slip outsole that’s great for stability. The sandals also have a wide toe box and a suede sole that’ll deliver comfort while walking and standing for hours. Shop them in five colors, including tan, black, and beige.

Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Hue Drops

If you tend to wear less makeup while on vacation, you’ll want to add this Glow Recipe serum to your toiletry bag. The formula delivers all the hydration you love from the brand’s classic best-seller with an added bonus that leaves skin looking sun-kissed. The hue drops have a slightly warm tint that goes on nicely, giving the appearance that you’re wearing, well, nothing. And even though this pick recently launched at Amazon, the tinted serum was already bought more than 2,000 times this past April. 

Bagsmart Belt Bag

Anyone who hates lugging around a big bag will appreciate this Bagsmart belt bag that has pockets galore. Seriously, the bag has a big zippered compartment at the top, complete with several internal pockets to store lip balms, chargers, and micro wallets. It has a second zippered area for small items like keys and IDs, too. And because pickpocketing is no joke, you’ll love that it has an unsuspecting anti-theft zipper lock that’ll prevent sticky fingers from swiping. 

Simple Modern Mesa Water Bottle with Straw Lid

Staying hydrated is a travel must, and if you don’t like drinking lukewarm water, this insulated Simple Modern water bottle will do you a solid. The number-one new release has a double-walled design to keep liquids chilled for hours, even if it’s out in the sun. It has a large mouth and a straw lid that flips downward to prevent leakage. It’s available in 24 and 34 ounces and comes in a multitude of colors, including bright hues like lime green and lavender, as well as classic options like beige, white, and black.   

“Funny Story” by Emily Henry

Emily Henry’s “ People We Meet on Vacation ” was pretty much the summer beach read. Yes, this editor even bonded with a vacationer who was also reading the book at a resort in Mexico. So if you’re a Henry fan, check out her latest romance novel that just dropped at Amazon: “ Funny Story .” The book delivers a mix of humor, new beginnings, and a slow burn romance that’ll keep you on that lounge chair far longer than you anticipated.  

Mapambo Travel Power Converter

There’s nothing worse than realizing your travel converter doesn’t work with the outlet in your hotel room. Instead of stocking up on multiple adapters, why not opt for this Mapambo converter that’ll work in about 150 countries, including Italy, Singapore, Japan, and Fiji. It has two U.S. three-pronged outlets, one USB port, and three USB-C ports, which can juice up multiple devices at one time. 

Monday Haircare Original Dry Shampoo

You might miss a wash day or two while out and about, but that doesn’t mean your hair needs to look greasy. That’s where this recently-dropped Monday Haircare dry shampoo comes in. The dry shampoo absorbs the oils on your scalp with just a few sprays, so you can save the slickback for tomorrow. It’s formulated with strand-protecting keratin and has a floral gardenia scent that could totally pass as perfume.  

Taygeer Carry-on Backpack

A stylish backpack that can hold all your weekend essentials? Yep, that’s exactly what this is. The Carry-on Backpack is large enough to hold several outfit changes, your intimates, mini toiletries, hair care essentials, and even an extra pair of shoes due to its 11-by-17-inch build. But that’s just in the main compartment. It also has a double zipper outside with a cushioned pad for a laptop and tablet. The bag even has a luggage strap that can go right over your carry-on handle when you want a break from wearing it on your back.

Article’s Memorial Day Sale Has Begun

In this article

For the living room, for the dining room, for the bedroom.

• For the patio

If you’re looking for extra-early Memorial Day sales — and you’re not in the market for a mattress — your best bet is to look for discounts at DTC home-furniture brands like Article , as they’re usually earliest to the game. One of our favorites, Article launched its sale today — and the discounts are actually pretty good at up to 30 percent off. It makes our best-in-class  sofa ,  bed frame , and  dining chair , and I found all those items (or very similar versions) discounted as part of Article’s Memorial Day sale, along with a huge selection of furniture and décor for your living room, dining room, bedroom, and patio. Some of the discounts aren’t really discounts at all — I saw some items for 5 percent off, which is not my gig — but I found plenty of actually good steals, which I’ve listed below. So scroll on, or do some sifting of your own on Articles’s Memorial Day sale page .

It’s not the biggest discount, but our favorite Sven sofa is $120 off.

As is the sectional version if you’d like some extra wiggle room.

A plush bouclé armchair for morning reading or end-of-day lounging.

Here’s a nice-looking fringed rug that won’t pill.

A round, smoked-glass side table with a place to stow your magazines down below.

Herman Miller who ?

A slim, powder-coated steel console to stash knickknacks.

Article makes handsome (and affordable) dining chairs such as this simple mid-century-modern-esque option.

The stackable version of our best-in-class dining chair is 25 percent off in this dusty pink color. Not as good of a deal, but it’s discounted $10 in blue , teal , and white , too.

This Cesca-esque bench would look equally nice in the bedroom, too.

Our best overall bed frame is 25 percent off in white. Strategist writer Emma Wartzman, who owns this bed in walnut, says it “feels incredibly sturdy, the wood looks high quality (something I was definitely nervous about with other models), and the sides are low enough to make bed-making easy.”

I’m intrigued by this beach cane-and-oak bed frame, which is neutral without being boring. (I think it would nicely match the Vianen bench above, too.)

If you have minimal floor space — or an aversion to headboards — this now-under-$300 bed frame is nice looking (and Strategist editor approved ).

The matching nightstand is $100 off, too!

For the patio and outdoors

These steel, powder-coated outdoor chairs look delightfully lightweight. (Note that they are only sold in pairs.)

A glass-and-metal candle lantern for vibe-y nights outside.

The Strategist is designed to surface the most useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape. Some of our latest conquests include the best acne treatments , rolling luggage , pillows for side sleepers , natural anxiety remedies , and bath towels . We update links when possible, but note that deals can expire and all prices are subject to change.

How we tested the best mattresses

The GH Institute Textiles Lab has been extensively testing mattresses for years to provide science-backed recommendations for every type of sleeper. In addition to thoroughly researching the top mattress brands, materials and features, our in-Lab product experts and a diverse panel of consumer testers try out mattresses at home to evaluate how they perform and to inform in-depth reviews.

In recent years, we've surveyed more than 10,000 mattress owners and reviewed answers to more than 170,000 questions to help us pick the best mattresses you can buy. The responses from our panel include both quantitative scores and qualitative feedback, looking at all aspects from the ease of ordering and setup, to comfort and support, to how well the mattresses have held up over time.
