Hot Hotel Deals: Grand Openings

One of the best ways to get a low rate on a great hotel is to book at a brand-new resort. Just after they open, hotels often run grand opening specials or have introductory rates designed to draw their first crowds.

The down side? Brand-new hotels may not have worked out all the kinks in their service, and amenities like restaurants or swimming pools may not be completed and operating yet.
The up side? You may never see rates (and crowds) this low again.
