The Park Suite at the Gansevoort Park Avenue; New York City
First there was New York City’s Restaurant Week, where hundreds of hotspots and local dives alike offer seriously discounted prices on (what are usually) three-course meals. Enter NYC ‘Hotel Week.’ From January 6 to January 15, several properties around the city are offering hotel rates starting for as little as $100 a night — with both budget and luxury options. For $100 you can snag a night at the Pod Hotel; If you’ve got a few extra bucks to spend, check out Andaz Wall Street or Gansevoort Park Avenue (where a certain Kardashian resided during the failure of her 72-day marriage) for up to $250 a night. Wanna know more? After the jump, check out the hotels involved this year and how to score the deals.

But good things can come in small packages. If the price is right, some of these exceptionally teensy spaces can actually be good values (although we’d steer clear of the Jane Hotel until it sorts out its little bedbug problem). Be sure to peruse the hotels on our best values list as well, to make sure you get the most bang for your buck.
