Hello, Cyber Monday...!

Although hard to believe, 2022 is already coming to an end. Holiday season is upon us, and while the festivities can be overwhelming — presents! parties! in-laws! — it doesn’t have to be. In fact, the festive season is the ideal time to plan a much-deserved end-of-year getaway. Whether you’re looking for an intimate solo trip or a multi-generational affair, now is a great time to reflect, reset and escape before heading into 2023.

I've rounded up this month's exclusive hotel deals (in both sunny and cooler destinations), that will make the month of December a breeze.
