Introducing Paris and Barcelona Plus Hot End-of-Summer Deals!

Jeff here again with great news! If you’re in Europe or plan to visit anytime soon, you’ll want to take advantage of great hotel deals in our two newest destinations - Paris and Barcelona. Our properties in Paris, including Hotel Le Patio Saint Antoine and Hotel Les Jardins Du Marais, put you minutes away from the Picasso Museum, Opera Bastille and other prized landmarks. I am really looking forward to visiting Barcelona one of these days. It, too, is steeped in history, featuring scores of museums, theaters and, for lovers of sand and surf, seven beaches! More great deals await you at Grand Hotel Central and Hotel Diagonal Zero, among other can’t-miss Barcelona properties.

Scorching End-of-Summer Hotel Deals

We’ve also got some great ideas on how to make the most of your remaining summer days. With August winding down, it’s that time of year again when we put away the swimsuits and send the kids off to school. There’s nothing I’ll miss more about summer than having a cold drink at poolside while soaking up some rays. Lucky for us, there’s still enough time to grab a great deal for a last-minute vacation. Whether you’re looking to sunbathe the afternoon away on a pristine beach in Miami, take the kids to Disney World for a fun-filled weekend in Orlando, or spend a few days exploring the sights and sounds of Midtown Manhattan, getaroom.com has hotel deals you’ll want to take advantage of before welcoming in the fall season.

Sizzling Deals in Sin City

I visited Las Vegas for the first time last summer, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The Las Vegas Strip features a bevy of restaurants and casinos, not to mention a pulsing nightlife scene. Of course, what better way to experience the beating pulse of Las Vegas than staying at its famed hotels? The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino has more than 4,000 all-suite accommodations and features 19 restaurants. If you’re thinking of visiting the downtown area, you’ll find 32,000 square feet of casino space and three cocktail lounges at the Four Queens Hotel and Casino. Squeeze in some time to shop at The Fremont Street Experience, which is only one block away from the California Hotel and Casino.

Great Hotel Rates in The Big Apple

It has been unusually cool this summer in New York City, making it a great destination for travelers seeking relief from the summer heat. Great rates are available at the Buckingham Hotel, a stylish boutique property set in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. After a busy day at Fifth Avenue, the Paramount Theatre, and other landmark New York attractions, Hotel Metro offers a calm respite with its library and newly redesigned rooftop terrace, from which I was able to take in great views of the Empire State Building. The renovated Belvedere Hotel, another great option in Manhattan, is conveniently within walking distance of Times Square.

Vacationing in Sunny Florida

One of the best things about living in Florida is being close its beautiful beaches and world-renowned theme parks. South Beach, with its Art Deco buildings, restaurants and nightclubs, stands out as one of my favorite hot spots. And I can’t forget the bevy of great hotels the area has to offer. The Clevelander offers 60 revamped rooms, a rooftop terrace, an Art Deco pool and even an indoor music and dance venue - the 1020 Music Boxx - for those looking to have an end-of-summer party. If you plan on vacationing in Central Florida, the Best Western Orlando Gateway and Radisson Orlando Celebration Resort are great properties in which to relax while being in close proximity to Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando and other main attractions. Orlando is a must visit for theme park enthusiasts. My kids and I just can’t get enough of these theme parks!

End-of-Summer Savings in Washington D.C.

With a new president in the oval office, there is no better time to tour this historic city. After checking out the Lincoln Memorial and Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History, choose from a number of great properties including the Capitol Hill Suites.

are there any specific places in chicago that look similar to locations in paris?

i'm trying to shoot a student film that's based in paris. most of it will be indoors but some scenes will need to be out in the streets, are there any places in particular in chicago that look like someplace in paris, france, or just anywhere in europe?

Try the French Market at 131 Clinton in the Oglivie Transportion center - has a Europeon fruit and meat stands. Also Alta Vista Street - West of Sheffield - North of Grace St. has neat houses kind of like London.

Also, try some of the outdoor cafes (unfortunely currently closed because of snow) that are along Rush street or River Walk (O'Brien's Restaurant) looks like the river cafes in Berlin.

Good Luck.
