Ok, ok - I'll reveal one little travel secret. I promised awhile back (to the person who told me about it) that I'd keep this a secret, but the church-girl guilt is overwhelming! If you're a five star kid on a three star budget, listen up! luxurylink.com
There it is. I don't know of a list that is more well-edited or more thorough in travel luxury. I've used this resource for my travel for the past 4 years. Every time, it's been easy and has turned out great boutique hotels with perfect service - something I'm a bit of a stickler for.
A tip: call the property BEFORE you buy the package to be sure the dates you are looking for are available with your room package specifics. Then–go for it. I've paid less than 50% for every package I've purchased. Some places I've hit through luxurylink.com greatness: Rimini, Milan, Florence, Rome, Venice, Paris, San Francisco, New York, Sonoma...to name a few.
