Once in a while I come across a gem. I like to do my best to spread the word so these gems get a chance to really explode as a company and enjoy the great success they deserve. Not to mention I want them to stay in business so I can continue to using them.

A few years ago I was planning a trip to New York City for my wife and I. I was looking for a high end (4 or 5 star) hotel. I usually would book directly from the hotel website or use expedia. The prices I was getting quoted were insane. So I decided to head to google. The first paid sponsor link was http://www.newyorkcityluxuryhotels.com. I rarely click a paid sponsor link but for some reason this time I did. When I got to the site they had some great hotels but no prices. You had to call to get a quote. To this day I have no idea why I called but I’m extremely happy that I did. When I called I was given a quote that was almost 50% off the lowest price I had found online and that was for a 5 star hotel. I booked it hoping it was for real. I couldn’t believe my luck. Sure enough it was for real and I’ve been using that company “Magellan Vacations” ever since.

<strong>What is Magellan Vacations?</strong>
My understanding is they book hotel rooms in the best hotels in major cities and book in such bulk they are able to offer the rooms at INSANE prices. I’ve been using them for 2 years now and not once have I ever found a lower price than what they offer. It’s not always 50% lower but it is ALWAYS lower than the best price you’ll find online.

There is no membership. No bs. Use them as you need them. They offer hotel rooms in New York City, Miami, Los Angeles, Washington, San Francisco and Chicago. Usually they only have really high end hotels.

I can’t say enough about Magellan. I tell all my friends about them. You can call them anytime and they’ll hook you up. I missed  a connecting flight in NYC once and was stranded there for the evening. It was 11pm. I called Magellan and explained my situation to the agent. He asked me if I wanted the same hotel, same price as my last trip. I replied yes. Same credit card? Yes. DONE! The call was less than 90 seconds long and I was checked in and ready to go. Not only did they bail me out of a jam they saved me on cell phone roaming charges.

I have nothing to do with the company. They are just the best hotel service I’ve ever come across and I hope someone reading this can enjoy the same fantastic experience I’ve had with them as well.
