16. Stay at an apart-hotel
Apart-hotels are serviced apartments, routinely found in Europe, that come with a small kitchen, which can save you money on eating out. These might cost a little more upfront, but the amenities can help you save in the long run, said Pavini. Plus, they are listed on many travel sites that offer coupon codes.
“For example, three nights in a highly rated apart-hotel in Kensington, London, cost $896 — including taxes, for a family of four," she said. "We had a coupon code for 15 percent off on Orbitz, bringing the cost down to $784. Plus, you earn $23.53 in Orbucks rewards dollars, which you can immediately use to book the hotel on the next leg of your trip." That’s a lot of savings.
