Want to live large for less on your travels? Be on the lookout for introductory rates at posh, recently-opened resorts, such as Kimpton's brand new Vero Beach Resort & Spa, an elegant 113-room oceanfront resort in the heart of a tidy seaside village on Central Florida's Treasure Coast. The place is decked out in West Indies-style chic, boasts the top-notch service for which Kimpton is known, and has a drop-dead gorgeous beach and pool. Visit before February 12, 2009, and you can nab a 575-square-foot Studio Suite (complete with balcony, microwave, mini fridge, and wet bar) at an introductory rate of $149 on Sundays through Thursdays and $169 on Fridays and Saturdays. The deal also includes a daily $20 food and beverage credit, a hosted evening wine reception, and complimentary morning coffee and tea in the lobby.

There's nothing not to like about saving more than $100 a night. After the intro rate expires in late February, the price of a Studio Suite soars to $249 on Sundays through Thursdays and $299 on weekends. To take advantage of this offer, book online or call 1-800/KIMPTON (1-800/546-7866) and ask for rate code GOP.
