Spend a long weekend at a 4-star boutique hotel in the Emerald City this autumn for less. Vintage Park — a Kimpton Hotel is offering three-night stays for $525, which saves you $130 (or 20 percent) on current rates.

Travel on select dates through March 31, 2013, including weekends.

This rate provides Queen Room accommodation that includes a queen bed, a flat-screen TV, a mini-bar, a work desk, and sweeping views of the Seattle skyline. The hotel honors Washington State’s Wine Country by dedicating each room to a local winery and vineyard. This warm decor creates a sense of country charm, a calming contrast from the busy city outside.

Vintage Park was recently included in Travel + Leisure’s “Best 500 Hotels in the World” list. Located in the heart of downtown Seattle, the hotel is within walking distance of the 5th Avenue Theater, the Washington State Trade and Convention Center, and many other popular attractions. When you’re not busy exploring the city take some time to enjoy the hotel’s amenities, including an onsite Italian restaurant, a fitness center, laundry and dry-cleaning services, complimentary nightly wine reception, and in-room WiFi.

For a memorable summer getaway with your entire clan, consider the resort’s Family Adventure package.
