Saving money on travel doesn't need to stop there. You can save money on travel in just about every aspect by planning and research. Take time to compare different companies, then choose best option for you. Also, take a box of cereal and pick up a gallon of milk instead of spending a ton on breakfast. Grab a local newspaper to see if there are deals in there for area restaurants. The local family diner may have some great food at reasonable prices but is overlooked because of all those glaring signs in tourist's face.

Being able to find a deal on travel is a great advantage. Saving some extra cash can truly make your vacation more worthwhile. Since so many people just don't get enough vacation time, getting most out of what they do get is key. So, take some time and find best travel deals out there for yourself!

Hempel has individually designed 41 guestrooms and suites to combine modern architectural elements in Zen harmony. Rich fabrics and color themes reflect touches of Orient. As we enter our room, we are greeted by faint smell of an exotic spice and classical Vivaldi music. Two fresh apples perch on a crisply folded linen napkin; hidden inside napkin are a Sheffield knife and fork. Cupboards, TV, and closets are concealed behind bamboo wall panels. There seem to be pillows everywhere. Oriental-shuttered windows overlook a pretty courtyard below. The room has a cozy quietness about it that makes you instantly forget bustling, narrow streets of city.

The bathroom reflects a delightfully modern Asian influence. When you turn on water, it pours out of a long horizontal slit in square black marble sink, creating illusion of a mini zen waterfall. Towels are large and fluffy, in colors of pomegranate and charcoal, and there are two bathrobes. Taking pride on exceptional personal service, staff at Blakes Amsterdam includes bottled water at bedside as part of its evening turn-down service.
