Celebrate The Year Of The Snake With Chinese New Year Hotel Deals In New York, Los Angeles & Chicago

According to ancient Chinese legends, the beginning of the Chinese New Year starts by fending off a hungry, mythical beast by placing food outside your doorstep. As 2013 is the year of the Snake, ancient Chinese wisdom says that a snake in the house is a good omen because it means that your family will not go hungry and calls for a celebration of the finer things in life. Symbolizing intelligence, gracefulness and a passion for opulence, the snake prefers to surround itself with magnificent comforts, making this an ideal reason to plan a getaway.
