City Hotels that are Great and Affordable


Chic boutique lodgings—for under $250 a night on the planet's most rich cities.


What might you hope to pay for housing in a palatial, exquisitely adorned suite in one of London's most broadly elegant neighborhoods?One that possesses a whole floor of a great Victorian building, only a cobblestone's toss from luxurious boîtes, restrictive eateries, and one of the world's most heavenly obsolescents markets?And one that permits you to enthrall your own particular visitors humming them inside for mixed drinks with a private doorbell, as you would at your own particular apartment?Perhaps $300 a night?$400?

How does $160 a night sound?

It's actual: staying at Main House, a personal boutique property in Notting Hill—one of the more extravagant neighborhoods in Europe, if not the world—is practically less expensive than staying home. Furthermore, its by all account not the only lodging of its kind. For the individuals who know where to look, there are really bunches of petite, unprecedented, wallet-accommodating lodgings (where low costs mirror the property's humble size, not an insufficiency in style or a low-economy exceptional)—even on the planet's priciest urban communities.


There are traps to discovering genuinely extraordinary little inns and the vast majority of them include looking past the standard booking-motor quests. Writer Tim Leffel, who has practical experience in searching out and expounding on awesome travel values (his most recent book is titled Make Your Travel Dollars Worth a Fortune: The Contrarian Traveler's Guide to Getting More for Less), says that huge numbers of the most genuine, upscale urban lodging aren't even recorded on Web locales like expedia.com or orbitz.com.

"Little lodgings that have genuine character, a genuine feeling of spot, can be elusive," Leffel says. "Some are family-possessed, and others simply don't have the promoting assets to get recorded on the huge American booking destinations. That is the reason when you're looking [on those sites], particularly for spots to stay in huge urban areas, you generally discover yourself looking through page after page of chain lodgings."

A superior thought, Leffel says, is to chase down littler Web destinations that cater particularly to specific destinations (venere.com, an entryway for go in Italy, and travelfish.org, which concentrates on Southeast Asia, are two illustrations he gives). Such locales are typically keep running by individuals who live in the nations they cover; numerous are even facilitated by expats who've gone gaga for their embraced homes (and who wouldn't fret offering their insight to different explorers).

Another hotspot for situating under-the-radar inn jewels, says Leffel, is the great antiquated manual. Since manual scholars for the most part need to cover a considerable measure of domain on a tight spending plan, its in their own best enthusiasm to discover financially savvy lodgings that hold heaps of nearby flavor. Furthermore, discovering the best manuals for your favored destination won't even cost you anything; you can correlation shop at your neighborhood library or book shop.

Doing such research can be certainly justified regardless of the exertion. You may uncover uncommon fortunes like Novecento Boutique Hotel, a noteworthy nine-room locanda (guesthouse) in Venice only a couple of minutes' stroll from St. Mark's Cathedral. Then again like the Hotel Côté Cour, in Beijing, a lavish changed over house in the "Old City," where the rooms encompass a yard of sprouting cherry and magnolia trees. Both these lodgings, and bounty more, can be had for not exactly $250 a night.

So regardless of the possibility that the economy's got you down, says Leffel, there's no reason you can't even now stay—and stay in style—in a portion of the world's awesome urban areas.

"You can even now travel," Leffel says. "You simply need to travel smarter."
