Over the last couple of years, my husband has pretty consistently been able to book the Waldorf-Astoria for something like $130 or $140 on Hotwire.  He's able now to pick out the description pretty reliably.  Not in the budget range, of course, but a very good price on a very nice hotel.

They've had the Waldorf Hilton in London for as low as $109/night as well in winter.  A complete steal.

I'll be going to Germany at the end of the month to see the Hamburg Ballet.  It was sort of a spur-of-the-moment thing--I was able to find cheap plane tickets and I know someone I can stay with, so everything just sort of worked out.  I'll be seeing three ballets (Nijinsky twice and Saint Matthew Passion).  I haven't done much overseas travel so I'm really excited
