Editor’s note: This post has been updated with new deals.

Yes, travel demand is up, and rates have responded accordingly. However, hotel deals really do exist, and we’re here to help you find them.

For example, if you are paying cash, you can sometimes pay for just three nights and get the fourth night free at popular high-end hotels such as the Four Seasons in Mexico City or the Waldorf Astoria in Cancun. That is, if you know how to book.

There are also ways to get included daily breakfast, free upgrades, resort credits and access to special experiences without having to hold a pricey premium credit card or hotel elite status.

One way to get those discounts and perks on your hotel stays is via a luxury travel agency. One of the more innovative ones is Skylark — a travel booking company with access to deals from 1,800 of its partners. Unlike most traditional third-party booking services, it has travel advisors available 24/7 just in case anything goes awry.

So to help you stretch your dollars to get more from your high-end hotel stays without having to do all the deal digging yourself, TPG is partnering with Skylark to highlight some of the best luxury hotel deals of the week.
