Hotwire.com today announced the results of its
February 2012 Hotwire® Canadian Hotel Rate Report, which features the
top five cities in Canada where hotel rates have dropped the most.
After a three month absence, Kingston takes first place this month with a 14 percent price drop. The city was a strong value destination in fall 2011, but dropped off the list as prices began recovering. Nestled in the bed of Lake Ontario, Kingston is known for its heritage, winter activities and yearlong sightseeing tours by foot, cruise or trolley. It's a great destination for families and offers a host of winter outdoor activities including skiing, snowboarding and ice-skating. Kingston is also known for its annual "FebFest," a community celebration around its love of winter sports.
For the third consecutive month, Montreal appears on the list in second place with a seven percent price drop. The big city of the east is currently experiencing colder than normal temperatures, resulting in demand tailing off to this beautiful city and prompting hotels to drop prices. So, if you're willing to put an extra layer on, now is a great opportunity to experience all Montrealhas to offer, including its various multi-cultural festivals, art museums, zip-lining tours, shopping and foodie tours at a fantastic price.
Victoria, Banff and Calgary round out the top five this month. The cold is also affecting demand in both Banff and Calgary. Banff, which is a popular ski destination for neighboring cities, is lowering prices to try and get skiers on their slopes. Victoria on the other hand is having a normal winter, but is experiencing their slowest season in years, prompting hotels to have to offer killer deals to peak traveller's interest.
