Win a trip to Paris!

Yes it's true. What with Valentine's day coming up and talk of flowers, romantic dinners and slushy declarations of love, we thought that maybe giving away not one but two hotel stays in Paris would be appropriate.
What's more with the January blues kind of hitting HC headquarters a little, we thought we could do with a bit of a giggle. So...in order to enter our competition, you need to come up with a funny caption for our romantic Paris image. Remember - keep it clean and make us laugh! You could win two nights in the exclusive 5 star Murano hotel including Eurostar or as runner up you'd win a two night stay at the 4 star K&K Cayre. To enter click here.
If you're looking for a romantic hotel to whisk someone away to - or perhaps you just want to escape the gooey eyed couples - then why not take off for a city break?
We've chosen a brilliant selection of really cosy, warm, hand-holding hotels which won't break the bank. Check them all out here.

2010 holidays!

Are you still thinking about where to go on holiday this year? Beach vs city break or shopping vs spa.... We understand your dilemma. We have it regularly and we find it too hard to decide so usually end up booking all of our annual leave for the whole year all up at once on about 4 different breaks. We like to be organised!

With our January Sale in full swing, we're finding it very hard to decide where to go. There are free upgrades on offer up until end April on so many hotels we just can't decide where to venture to.

We love the WestCord Art hotel in Amsterdam which is currently offering free upgrades to superior rooms. An artistic theme runs throughout the hotel - the lobby acts as a gallery and each room has a different famous painting in it (copies not real ones!).
Another one we're really tempted by is the Murano in Paris which has free upgrades to the next room type on offer. This is a really special hotel - you don't have a key for a room - you use your fingerprint! We feel all MI5 going to stay there. You can also choose what colour you would like the ambiance in the room to be! Plus, you're likely to rub shoulders with the rich and famous in the bar that transforms into a nightclub late at night. It's a very unique and must-see hotel so we're thinking this might be one of our favourites!



We're also very tempted by the K&K Opera in Budapest. There's an upgrade on offer from executive room to classic and a 4 nights for the price of 3 also to benefit from - so you can grab a real deal! With prices from £155pp for 4 nights - this is one we think we might have to go to too.



Can you see our dilemma? We're not very good at making decisions with all these great deals!
