Valentine’s Day: The Ultimate Procrastinator’s Holiday

Valentine’s Day: The Ultimate Procrastinator’s Holiday

Perhaps it’s Valentine’s Day’s close proximity to the holidays, but whatever the reason, le jour d’amour is also a procrastinator’s dream. Not only are a full 56 percent of accommodation bookings for V-Day made within two weeks (22 percent are made the day of Valentine’s Day), but median booking prices actually hold steady as the holiday approaches. 

Indeed, historical data shows that booking a hotel the day of Valentine’s Day increases the median price by only 4 percent compared to booking within two weeks of V-Day. 

If you are still trying to decide whether to book a hotel, perhaps we can give you a nudge: here are the most popular cities this year in which to celebrate love, along with its respective average Valentine’s Day booking prices:

Rank  City  Median Hotel Booking Price 
1 New York  $             165
2 Las Vegas  $             132
3 New Orleans  $             233
4 Colorado Springs  $             100
5 San Francisco  $             362
6 Waikiki  $             136
7 Orlando  $               86
8 Aspen  $          1,041
9 Honolulu  $             280
10 Miami  $             177
11 Los Angeles  $             191
12 Denver  $               94
