Salzburg, Austria
My family will be staying in Salzburg for 3 nights, later this month. I understand that the Startwood hotel in and near the city are quite good.
What is the best way of booking, either through a travel agent, or through Starwood directly (I am a little shy about booking through a discount hotel search engine/web site)- either on the phone, or on its web site - to get the best value?
Right now, as a tier member of Air Canada's Aeroplan FF plan - I am able to enjoy a special promo whereby the code gives customers 50% off the "full retail rate".
What are the thoughts of the FT community in terms of these hotels - I think we prefer staying outside of downtown, perhaps a lake, base of mountain etc - assuming that it is easy enough to get to downtown, without using a car rental (ie complimentary hotel shuttle?).
