Dreaming of a long weekend between now and year end? American Express and the Leading Hotels of the World Group are pairing up to offer a 33% discount for three-night stays (1 night free). The offer is good at any Leading Hotels of the World property and is good for any American Express card holder until December 31, 2011. The group has properties spread across the world. I have stayed at a few in my lifetime and have yet to be disappointed. They tend to be smaller and very charming hotels.
