I’ve always loved the idea of luxury travel, but I’ve never had the budget for it. With this special offer from the “Leading Hotels of the World” (who knew that was a thing?), I think everyone has a budget for luxury travel – at least for a little while.

LHW turns 80 years old this year, and to celebrate they’re letting rooms in participating hotels go for $19.28. See, it’s cute – they started in the year 1928, so the price is $19.28. Get it? Good. Now check out some of the properties where you can pay this less-than-twenty-bucks rate and you’ll be even more giddy.

There are LHW hotels all over the world, including South Africa, Austria, France, Hong Kong, Thailand, Ireland, Italy (it’s a huge list in Italy), Germany, Brazil, Argentina, the US, Netherlands, Spain, Mexico, the UK, Switzerland… The list goes on and on.

In order to take advantage of this deal, you’ve got to get online and book starting at 12 noon GMT (8:00am on the US East Coast, 5:00am on the US West Coast) on Wednesday, October 1, 2008 (that’s tomorrow!) and book your room within 80 minutes. But in order to do even that, you’ll need to be a registered user already – so be sure to register in advance so that you can jump on these deals immediately tomorrow. It’s a limited number of rooms that are available on this deal, so read all the details now and get ready to pounce on Wednesday.

Thanks to Miss Expatria for the pointer to this deal.
