This timeframe offers great value for money while allowing you to immerse yourself in the rich culture of Lexington.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Lexington, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay updated on flash sales and special promotions, helping you to seize opportunities for savings. Additionally, Smart Shopping is a handy comparison tool available through the app, allowing you to compare hotel prices and amenities. This way, if rooms become available or prices drop, you're more likely to see these updates first and book your last-minute escape.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates may help you save on your stay in a Lexington hotel. For those seeking something a bit different, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and occasionally better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price tends to be on the higher side, we’ll suggest alternative dates that could potentially offer a more affordable option, helping you to secure a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Staying nearer to key attractions or city centres may offer convenience, but it often comes with higher costs. For more affordable rates, you might consider hotels in less central areas or neighbourhoods, striking a balance between price and accessibility to the sites you wish to visit. You could also look into independent hotels located further out, which are usually more likely to be affordable and can provide a more authentic experience.
