Just in time for the summer holidays, HRS - Hotel Reservation Service has compiled a list of hotels situated around popular amusement parks across Europe, the perfect idea for families that prefer to go for short trips rather than travelling long distance during the holidays. In addition to destinations in Germany such as the Europa-Park in Rust, Phantasialand in Bruhl and the Heide-Park in Soltau, the list also features amusement parks at many other European locations, including Disneyland Paris in France and Legoland Windsor in England. These hotels are often right outside the relevant amusement park or only a few kilometres away and therefore ideal for stopping off for a few days or retreating to for a well-earned rest at the end of a fun-packed day.

Fans of classic sun, sea and sand holidays also have plenty to smile about. HRS has more than doubled the number of beach hotels on offer from 630 to over 1600. The sound of the surf, the smell of the sea, sand dunes directly below your window – at a maximum 100 metres from the beach, HRS beach hotels are guaranteed to be right on the seaside. "Sandpipers" can search the HRS hotel database in a targeted manner for the most attractive offers on hotels at popular holiday destinations. There are super-cheap offers for beach holidays around the globe. Aside from hotels along the North Sea, Baltic and Atlantic coast and popular beaches around the Mediterranean, there are also plenty of beach hotels at more exotic destinations in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.

HRS theme hotels are an ideal way to refine your search, though they are also an open invitation to explore the wide range of establishments on offer. The categories range from spa hotels, golf hotels and hot deals to design hotels, luxury hotels and – for those who want a truly regal atmosphere – chateau and castle hotels. Our Exclusive Price hotels are especially popular. After all, the hotels offered in this category are guaranteed to be at least ten percent cheaper on HRS than on any other Internet-based travel provider – with identical conditions!

Top10 is another hit with HRS customers. This "league table" is compiled every month based on the ratings supplied by HRS users themselves. Last, but by no means least, the Hall of Fame is a list of the hotels that have notched up the best ratings over the last two years, all sorted nicely by category.

HRS - Hotel Reservation Service operates a free global electronic hotel booking system based on a database of more than 230,000 hotels in all categories in 180 different countries. Thanks to an innovative and particularly powerful filter function, search results can be honed according to individual requirements. On the search results page, all the hits can be displayed visually on an interactive map, local sights can be shown or hidden as required, and you can even switch to satellite image mode.
