There’s one good thing about the current heat wave: it’s translating into some hot travel deals. From Arizona to San Diego to the Caribbean you can find a score of luxury hotel rooms all available for under $200 a night! Plus, the deals are coming with perks like $100 food & beverage credits,  national park tours, yoga classes, and bike rentals. And the best part, with most of these offers you only have to book in the heat and you can travel throughout the fall and well into December.

Stay at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon by taking advantage of the “End of Summer” package that costs less than the rate for a typical room.

San Diego: The Longer You Stay, the More You Save

Right now, Hotel Solamar in San Diego is running its Endless Summer Promotion, which gives you more savings the longer you stay.
