What moving is worth

September against January, seven nights
September, 7 nights$2,952
January, 7 nights$1,624
You keep$1,328

The same hotels, the same room type, two adults — seven times the nightly median, not a measured seven-night rate. The only thing that changed is the month.

The rest of the market moves together — about 49% between the cheapest month and the most expensive. 5-star hotels discount less, about 38%, so waiting for the low season buys you less at the top of the market.

We email you when a month here gets materially cheaper. Nothing else — no digest, no weekly send.

How we work this out

Every hotel here is priced once a week for the same stay — one refundable night, two adults — on dates spread across the next twelve months. Holding the room and the party the same is what makes a change in the answer mean something; how far ahead each date sits is the one thing we vary on purpose, because that is the question this page answers — which month to go, not how early to book. Every figure is a one-night stay as quoted, never a longer total divided down. The longer version.
