Editor's note: This post has been updated with new deals.
Travel demand is up, and rates have responded accordingly. However, hotel deals do exist, and we're here to help you find them.
If you're paying cash, you can sometimes get a third or a fourth night free at popular high-end hotels such as the Dominican Republic's Eden Roc Cap Cana and the Park Hyatt St. Kitts Christophe Harbour.
That is, if you know how to book.
There are also ways to score free daily breakfast, free upgrades, resort credits and access to special experiences without holding a pricey premium credit card or hotel elite status.
One way to get those discounts and perks on your hotel stays is via a luxury travel agency. One of the more innovative ones is Skylark — a travel booking company with access to deals from 1,800 partners.
Unlike most traditional third-party booking services, it has travel advisers available 24/7 in case anything goes awry.
So, to help you stretch your dollars and get more from your high-end hotel stays without having to do all the deal digging yourself, TPG is partnering with Skylark to highlight some of the best luxury hotel deals of the week.
