With the Global Economy still recovering, the US isn't the only place you can find some great hotel deals.  I've been reading that this is the perfect time to plan that trip to London.  If you've never been over to the UK, you might feel like you don't know where to start searching for your London Hotels. It can be quite intimidating if you are not familiar with London's hotel options. While they are similar to our US offerings...there are some differences.

Hotel Direct makes the planning simple and also gives you the best prices around. The way the site is set up...it's like one stop shopping. They have it all...from your 5-star hotel...to a more economical option for those budget travelers. There are tools that let you search for a hotel by attraction or by the Underground stations. The Underground is London's subway system that helps you zip around the city.

London's theater district rivals that of New York City and many productions start their run over in London. The website has some of the best hotel and theater packages I've seen around. They even have some previews online for some of the hottest shows to help you make your final decision. If you are a theater buff...this is the way to go. They help find the perfect hotel near the venue to round out the trip.

If you have a flexible schedule, look for 'Last Minute Deals' on http://www.hoteldirect.co.uk Not everyone can just plan a trip to London in a week or less...but for those of you that can, you can save even more.

I know I've said this a few times in previous postings...but the US Dollar is stronger than it has been in years, so you actually are saving even more money by booking now. If you make it over to London this Summer, leave a comment and let everyone know how your trip went.
