Unsure where to begin? As seasoned travel experts, we've handpicked exclusive hotel deals and packages for standout spots to help you plan your next adventure with confidence.
Malta
One of Europe's most affordable Mediterranean gems, Malta boasts year-round sunshine, English as an official language, and three idyllic islands—one reminiscent of the French Riviera.
The Solana Hotel starts at just $36 per night in a prime spot in historic Mellieħa village, home to Malta's finest beach. Prefer a pool? Relax on the rooftop sundeck with sweeping coastal views.
For upscale luxury, Corinthia Hotel St. George's Bay offers rates from $97 per night, resort-style amenities, and a free shuttle to Valletta and Sliema.
Toronto
Canada is a steal for U.S. travelers in 2016, with the CAD at 30% off peak rates. While Montreal and Vancouver draw crowds, Toronto is emerging as the country's hottest hub, thanks to revitalized waterfronts and trendy neighborhoods.
Maximize savings with our hotel offers, like the Radisson Admiral Harbourfront's Top 20 deal—up to 45% off. Nautically themed with Lake Ontario views, it's steps from the iconic CN Tower.
Park City
The merger of two resorts created North America's largest ski area at 7,300 acres, putting Park City, Utah, firmly on the map.
Visit during ski season for peak appeal, but save in March with The Park City Marriott from $259 per night, including complimentary shuttles to slopes and downtown.
San Sebastián
As Lonely Planet notes, it's impossible not to fall for San Sebastián. A Michelin-star haven and 2016 European Capital of Culture, its beaches and tapas scene are legendary. Summer rates soar above $300, but alternatives abound.
Barceló Costa Vasca in the old quarter starts at $247 peak; beachfront Hotel de Londres y de Inglaterra on Playa de la Concha dips to $98 off-season—more budget for pintxos!
Dublin
Europe's second-cheapest flight from the U.S., Dublin buzzes in 2016 with Easter Rising centennial events, restored historic sites, and the National Gallery's major refurbishment.
For $999 per person (airfare included), enjoy six nights at luxurious Adare Manor with a rental car—or stay central at The Gresham Hotel on O'Connell Street, near the Gallery.

Base your stay at downtown Omni Providence Hotel with a 30% Travelzoo-exclusive discount, perfect for food tours.
Sydney
Sydney's 2016 revamps include a $250 million foreshore park and The Goods Line elevated walkway, linking to Darling Harbour attractions—like NYC's High Line.
