Price Insights for The William Hotel Midtown, New York
- Lowest Price Period: Early January through February 2027 (especially 2027-01-03 to 2027-01-15 and many dates in Feb). Lowest observed nightly price: $275.40 on 2027-01-04; several nights in the $275–$330 range throughout Jan–Feb.
- Potential Savings: Biggest single-night saving observed: ~$869.81 (1145.21 peak on 2026-09-16 minus $275.40 low on 2027-01-04) — ~76% cheaper. Typical shift-to-low-season savings vs the dataset average are roughly $200–$250 per night (~40–50%). Avoiding peak event/holiday windows (mid-September, early–mid December, New Year’s Eve, and many June–July weekend dates in 2027) delivers the largest savings.
- Average Rate: Average nightly rate over the full date range ≈ $495 per night (approx). This is above typical off-season Manhattan midtown averages (~$250–$400) because of multiple high-demand/holiday spikes in Sept, Dec and summer 2027.
- Booking Tip: If you can travel in winter, book midweek nights in Jan–early Feb for the best prices. For peak periods (Sept mid-month events, early–mid Dec, and many summer dates in 2027), book early and consider refundable rates or flexible cancellation. Use flexible-date search and price alerts; compare direct hotel offers vs OTAs and check for non-refundable lower fares only if your plans are firm. For stays that include both cheap and pricey nights, try splitting reservations (separate bookings) to lock the low-rate nights.
