Best Western Celebrates 60th Anniversary

The Best Western hotel chain is turning back the clock on its room rates -- to 1946.

Hundreds of lucky travelers will get to pay the 1946 room rate of $5.40 at Best Westerns across the country on Wednesday.

The hotel chain is offering the rate to celebrate its 60th anniversary.

On Wednesday, March 29 only, hundreds of hotel guests in the U.S. and Canada will find a 60th Anniversary Commemorative Card under their pillows awarding them the special rate.

Those guests will pay $5.40 for their room, the approximate value of an overnight stay at the hotel when it first opened its doors in 1946.

Participating Best Western hotels in the U.S. and Canada will place one commemorative card in at least one guest room, the hotel said.

Best Western is the world's largest hotel chain with 4,200 hotels in 80 countries.
