As Harold MacMillan once said “events, dear boy, events”
Are one of the biggest drivers of hotel prices especially in the likes of DC and NYC.
Every year there are posts all over the internet wondering why hotels in New York are so expensive in September when there are 3 major events in the same month – us tennis open, NY fashion week and the UN General Assembly.
Same in DC where the events are more governmental but even so there can still be outsized demand especially if it’s a major event like the G7 or NATO or equivalent.
But yes too tip is to book somewhere refundable and regularly search for process drops.
