4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Adelaide

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Adelaide is between June and August, when hotel prices tend to be lower.

This budget-friendly duration allows visitors to explore not only the rich history and heritage of the area but also its vibrant shopping districts and cultural festivals, all while enjoying great value for money. By planning your trip during this period, you may find that prices could drop further, making it an ideal time for a cost-effective getaway.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Adelaide, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals section on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates on hotels as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and special promotions, so you’re more likely to seize opportunities to save. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you’re informed about any changes in availability or pricing, making it easier to secure a last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates might help you save on your stay in an Adelaide hotel. For those seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised touch and occasionally better value.
