This is usually the most convenient option as well, because if the event is being held at this hotel, you don’t have to travel very far from your room to attend it! Even if you are not going to a conference held at a hotel, there are often hotels running promotions connected to other events in the city. In many cases, you don’t even have to have any interest in the event to take advantage of the offer. To find these deals, do an online search for hotels during the time you want to travel. Or, you can always ask a travel agent about these hotel specials.
