Why It's a Deal: Booking this package will save from $180 to $270 per person, depending on when you go. Rooms at the Millennium Hilton start at $356 per night (hilton.com) and can reach over $449 per night on high-demand days. And the lowest fare we've found on a search on kayak.com for round-trip travel between Boston and New York in early August is $179 per person (JetBlue).

Trip Details: This package includes round-trip airfare on JetBlue and a two-night stay at the Hilton Millennium, which is near Wall Street and has 471 rooms, each with 42-inch plasma screen TVs and king-size beds. It's also available on some dates at the Grand Hyatt, a 1,300-room hotel next to Grand Central Station with flat-screen TVs and king- or queen-size beds.
