Discount travel site Hotwire.com has unveiled deeply discounted hotel rooms in some of Europe’s most popular destinations, including Amsterdam, Barcelona, London, Paris and Rome.Whether touring Vatican City or wandering the banks of the Thames or
Seine, budget travelers can rest in a comfortable bed, assured that
they’re getting a great value on their hotel room. Hotwire’s discount
hotels offer travelers savings of up to 60 percent off hotel rooms
(including rates on other leading travel Web sites and hotels’ own Web
sites). This is good news for Americans looking for new and creative ways
to stretch their dollar while still experiencing the best that Europe has
to offer.

“Americans shouldn’t shy away from European travel just because of
currency exchanges. There are many great values in Europe during the
off-peak season from now through mid-March,” said Amy Bohutinsky,
Hotwire’s consumer travel expert. “In fact, we’re seeing hotel rates in
many European markets for less than $100 on 2, 3 and even 4-star
properties.”

When booking their trip, travelers can search many different neighborhoods
and star ratings at once on Hotwire, allowing vacationers to choose and
compare among Hotwire’s deeply discounted rates. Hotwire plans to expand
its discount hotel offering to include additional European markets later
in 2005.

Hotwire’s hotel rates are backed by the industry’s most
aggressive guarantee. Find a lower rate within 48 hours of booking, and
Hotwire will refund double the difference. For more information, visit
