Hotelconnect.co.uk are doing special offers including “buy one get one free” at some hotels.  I had a look at some of the accommodation options.  The 3 star Best Western Hotel Krone in Lucerne, Switzerland, costs £40 per person for a two night stay, based on two sharing until 31 December 2007. The hotel is located in the historic Weinmarkt area of Lucerne.
