Available Packages
Double Occupancy --2 x Twin Beds
Available until December 1, 2026
- available
$6,335.00
Deposit: $2,800.00 per person
Clients selecting a double occupancy room must register with a travel companion. Suitcase Gals does not assign roommates for shared accommodations.
Please note that hotel rooms in Europe are often smaller than those found in North America. Room layouts vary by property and destination and may feature one double/queen bed or two twin beds. In many European hotels, twin beds are simply placed side-by-side to create a larger sleeping arrangement, while in others they may remain separate.
While we will request two twin bedding configurations, bed type and room layout are ultimately assigned by the hotel and cannot be guaranteed. We appreciate your flexibility and understanding as European hotels maximize space differently than many travelers may be accustomed to.
Single Occupancy --1-bed
Available until December 1, 2026
- available
$7,135.00
Deposit: $2,800.00 per person
Guests selecting single occupancy will enjoy the privacy and comfort of having their own room throughout the trip.
Please note that hotel rooms in Europe are often smaller than those found in North America, particularly single rooms. These rooms are designed efficiently and may feature a smaller bed, limited storage space, and a more compact layout than you may be accustomed to at home.
Our hotels are chosen for their excellent locations, comfort, and overall guest experience rather than room size. We encourage guests to view their accommodations as a comfortable place to relax and recharge after a day of exploring some of Europe's most exciting cities.
Room layouts and bedding configurations vary by hotel and are assigned upon arrival.
