Luxury Travel Diary is a UK-based company that offers luxury travel reviews and tips, and most importantly charity auctions on travel-related items. Most of them are for hotel stays, completed with travel bags, travel pillows, sunglasses and suitcases etc.
Maybe some of you are already smelling bargains when I mentioned auction. Even better, although the company is UK-based the participating hotels really spread across the world. Asia for example, has been dominating the auctions recently probably as a result of their sooner recovery from the pandemic.
Some of the current auction items, as well as the current highest bids are (view here):
- Park Hyatt Istanbul, 2 nights – £160
- InterContinental Davos, 2 nights – £46
- Sheraton Grand Doha, 3 nights – £44
- InterContinental Marseille, 1 night – £63
- InterContinental Bordeaux, 1 night – £101
- Movenpick Bangkok, 3 nights – £151
Most of such packages are for premium rooms or suites, and inclusive of daily breakfast if not more. If you are the lucky winner, remember that you can only pay via Paypal, not credit card or anything else.
I’ve been a keen bidder in the past and won a few lots, and the experience has been overwhelmingly awesome. I won two nights in a duplex at a luxury Riad in Fez, Morocco and paid only around £100; and for roughly the same price I stayed three nights at the brand new Al Najada hotel in Doha – they even upgraded me to a massive suite courtesy of my GHA Black status.
