Hip Hotel: The Broome Opens in New York

Next time you need to book a hotel room in New York, check out the brand new boutique hotel The Broome. Tucked away in a Federal Revival Style building built in 1825 that was a former artists’ loft located on the corner of Broome Street and Crosby Street, The Broome is like an oasis in the middle of SoHo, which in case you didn’t know, is one of the city’s most stylish neighborhoods, and filled with luxury boutiques, see-and-be-seen restaurants, and lots of people watching.

Once inside, be prepared to get impressed by The Broome’s art collection, which is filled with works by Chaz Guest — a favorite of Barack Obama, Jean Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring. Then, head out of the lobby and into a nice courtyard that makes you feel like you’re in Europe. There are only 14 rooms inside The Broome, making it feel more like you’re a New Yorker living in an intimate apartment building and less like you’re staying a hotel in the middle of the Big Apple.

The rooms feature cool Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams furnishings, plush-top Queen and King Sealy mattresses and Bellimo sheets, which gives you the most amazing sleeping experience. If you’re in the mood for a little television, there’s a Samsung Smart TV, or if music is more your fancy, put some beats on the Tivoli sound system. The mini bar is filled with local goodies like Nunu’s Chocolates and Tate’s Bakeshop Cookies, and if you’re feeling a like being a little naughty, there’s a Henley e-cigarette and a kit full of condoms and sex toys.

Enjoy a cappuccino in the café in the morning and read your paper while feeling as if you’re in Italy, while enjoying a breakfast of Ronnybrook Farm dairy products and Cei Cela pastries, fruit, granola, yogurt, and juices. Then, play a game of Foosball, and look for goodies to bring back home in The Treehouse, which is filled with all sorts of interesting gifts. Now, you’re all ready to head out and enjoy a day or night out in the Big Apple.

A look inside a hotel room at The Phoenician.

I'm no stranger to snagging a last-minute hotel on a whim, whether it's for a quick road trip or an impromptu city getaway. But the tradeoff for spontaneous travel often means paying higher-than-average prices. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to find last-minute hotel deals that won't break the bank -- and travel and financial expert Clark Howard agrees. According to Howard, the average city has about 30% of its hotel rooms sitting empty each night, meaning hotels are eager to fill them and often offer steep discounts.

Whether you're eyeing the largest hotel in the world or a quaint boutique inn, there are destinations and platforms designed to make your last-minute travels more affordable. Here's where you can score great last-minute hotel deals and save big on your next spontaneous adventure.

From sun to snow: Alaska Airlines’ new flight makes San Diego to Vail a breeze
Here's what it's like flying this direct route to Vail from San Deigo
Vail on the Winter Solstice

I gazed at the surroundings as I rode toward San Diego International Airport. The morning sun lit up the cityscape, with ships along the waterfront and pedestrians walking through the Embarcadero. The skyscrapers resembled giant beach bungalows, and the silhouettes of palm trees cut across the Pacific Ocean. Over the prior 24 hours, I’d been enchanted by the town’s culture and spirit. I didn’t want to leave.

But Vail, Colorado awaited, and with the impending Winter Solstice, I couldn’t wait to snowboard on its wide-open terrain. How would I get there?
