Ever envied celebrities lounging in 5-star hotels during their getaways? Good news—luxury stays are more attainable than you think. Skyscanner's flight search experts analyzed data to reveal destinations where 5-star room rates dropped significantly in 2018 versus 2017. Highlights include Amsterdam at €301 per night (down from €519), Havana at €279 (from €361), Venice at €382 (from €488), and Palma de Mallorca at €248 (from €309).
Skyscanner's travel pros share battle-tested advice to cut costs on luxury accommodations (and it applies to 4- or even 2-star options too): Travel off-season for fewer crowds, cheaper hotels, and discounted local activities. Opt for less-visited spots—capitals often carry the highest prices. Ditch all-inclusive packages unless you're staying poolside all day; nearby restaurants deliver exceptional meals for far less. For savvy savers, scout introductory rates at brand-new hotel openings.
Secure your flight and step into 5-star bliss!
