More about Shopping Stays

We created Souvenir Finder to bring you the best souvenirs, gifts and local shops when you travel. 

But all that shopping can get exhausting! Readers have been asking for it, so it’s time for a Shopping Break.  This section will focus on the best accomodations and hotels to drop off your shopping bags and rest for the night.

Shopping Break:  Stays

Occasionally I stay at a hotel, B&B or apartment that is so convenient, comfy and fairly priced that it will earn a place on this list.  I am not reviewing every hotel out there, just the gems that I love that are worthy of attention, so you won’t find hotels for every city.  If my stay was meh, it won’t be included here.

My picks tend to hit the sweet spot of travel– the most bang for your buck, which can sometimes mean a bare bones place in the heart of the city, or a luxury spot that’s too good of a value to pass up.  I don’t mind chains if they’re a good deal and I love collecting and using hotel points, too.
