Get Up It"s Presidents" Day - Parry Gripp
ASPEN, Colorado, February 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Aspen, the famous ski resort town in Colorado"s Rocky Mountains, is the United States" most expensive destination in which to spend this year"s Presidents" Day weekend.
This finding was uncovered by the latest survey conducted by CheapHotels.org. The survey specifically compared U.S. destinations according to their hotel rates for the period spanning February 12 to February 15 (Presidents" Day).
In Aspen, travelers will have to spend $533 per night for the most affordable double room (rated at least two stars). That figure represents the highest rate in the country. Barbara Adams from CheapHotels.org points out that the rates reflected by the survey were established in late January and that a late-hour booker would now probably have to spend even more since Aspen is virtually sold out.
In the survey"s runners-up spots are two Hawaiian destinations: Poipu, located on the southern side of the island of Kauai and Lahaina, situated in West Maui. Daily rates of $512 and $463, respectively, put these island locales in the second and third slots. With Vail ($419) and Breckenridge ($412) coming in fourth and fifth most expensive, two more ski resorts in Colorado landed in the Top 5.
