Just thinking about all the sales you can get on Black Friday and Cyber Monday usually elicits two feelings – happiness about the deals you’ll get and a headache about the hassle it’ll take to get those deals. Most people know that shopping on the days after the Thanksgiving holiday brings some of the best deals of the year. From electronics to clothing to household furniture, store-front retailers and e-commerce stores love to go all out for the die-hard discount consumer.
Now, some luxury hotel chains are also recognizing this time honored tradition and its ability to reach more shoppers. Hotel chains are opening their doors to luxury consumers who want to stay at luxurious hideaways minus the steep price. Enter the ultra-posh Caribbean resort chain, Elegant Hotels. Their property, The House, is offering 75 percent off room rates starting at $219. The House is one of Travel + Leisure’s Top 25 Resort Hotels in the Caribbean and received a 2017 World’s Best Awards. It’s also an adults-only hotel with 24/7 service ambassadors pampering every guest on hand and foot the minute they arrive.
But The House isn’t the only hotel offering excellent cyber deals. We’ve gathered a Black Friday list of hotels across the U.S., Latin America, Europe and other Caribbean islands slashing room rates. Check out the deals below beginning Black Friday on November 23 through Cyber Monday on November 26. The prices are subject to blackout dates and based on availability.
