4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Orlando

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Orlando is during August, September, and November, when hotel prices are typically lower. For those looking to explore the city's key landmarks and cultural attractions, a stay of at least 3 to 4 days is recommended. This duration offers a great value for money, allowing visitors to enjoy a variety of attractions related to history and culture, including theme parks, theatres, live music venues, golf courses, shopping districts, scenic lakes, family-friendly entertainment options, dining experiences, and dancing spots. With careful planning, visitors may find that prices could drop during these months, making it an ideal time for a budget-friendly getaway.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Orlando, begin by exploring the Dealsopens in new window or Last-Minute Deals section on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com to stay informed about flash sales and exclusive last-minute offers, ensuring you don't miss potential savings. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, helping you make informed decisions. You'll be promptly notified if rooms become available or if prices drop, making it easier to secure your spontaneous getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so having some flexibility with your travel dates may help you find a better deal on your stay in an Orlando hotel. For those seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and can sometimes offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher side, we’ll suggest alternative dates that could be more affordable, helping you to potentially discover a better option.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels located near the city centre usually tend to be pricier; however, with Orlando's superb public transport connections, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that remains well linked. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
