My Favorite Travel Sites

Westminster

Although there are plenty of big name travel websites out there, I find it’s the no-namer’s I like best when booking any trip. These websites are often specialized to a certain niche making it easier to seek research your specific needs.

When traveling to England, I often find myself using TubeHotels.com. What I really like is that the site sticks to their point – finding hotels near the London locations you desire — without wavering or getting confusing. For example, if you have a particular site you are interested in visiting, like Westminster, all you to do is check out the tube line near the site, like Westminster station. Plug that into TubeHotel’s simple search feature and voila! Countless hotels within walking distance to Westminster. The only downfall is that it is for England only. And a feature that helps people find which station is near their landmark would also be helpful although Google is just as easy.

Another one I like is Sletoh.com. The features are similar to that of TubeHotels.com but it branches out into many European countries, unlike TubeHotels which sticks solely with England. Plus, you can search Sletoh by landmark, key for those of us who don’t know our way around a city per say but know exactly where it is that we want to go.

So next time your head to Europe to check out the Louvre for inspiration or to sit front row at fashion week, check out these sites.
