The Stoneleigh Hotel is a glamorous Art Deco jewel, nestled in Uptown and boasting a recent $36 million face lift. Their Spa at Stoneleigh, award-winning chefs and restaurants, and stylish suites are enough to accommodate any weekend getaway in high fashion.

But what if you could get a heavily discounted room at this, or one of Dallas’ other five-star hotels? Well, of course you would—it leaves more moola for the hot stone massage and the mud wrap, silly.

Vacationist is a travel website that Those in The Know use to score excellent deals on upscale lodgings worldwide. A partnership between LuxuryLink and Travel & Leisure magazine, this members-only website seeks out exclusive deals from top properties and then sends email updates about limited-time sales. I do not travel anywhere without first checking for a good sale at Vacationist.

Membership at Vacationist is free, but you have to be invited by a member to join, so send me your email address if you would like an invitation code. Or, you can join at partner site LuxuryLink (an upscale travel auction site that is also wonderful) and use your login at Vacationist.

Smart travelers know that the finest hotels, spas and restaurants are desirable; Savvy travelers know how to get them for a song.




(And so you know… we aren’t getting paid or compensated in any way by Vacationist or LuxuryLink for this plug. I can recommend them objectively because I have used both sites. Frisco Savvy will always disclose any compensation we receive, or relationships we might have with the people and places we feature… and we never make recommendations because someone paid us to.)
