No, but check the brochure further for smallprint.
Clealry if there is a price in there it doesnt stay that price for ever, but if it's described as spring - summer 2006 brochure, then you have every right to expect the stated price would be honoured in that period. If it says winter 2003, then why are you even asking.

Depends how you received the brochure. If you asked for a brochure and it was supplied by the hotel, and the booking was accepted on those terms then I would say yes. If you attempted to make a booking but was told before the booking was confirmed that the prices did not apply, then no. After all, anyone can get hold of an old brochure and try to use it. Most brochures state the timescale during which the offers apply eg Summer 2006.

That is a fairly open statement, what is the period the brochure is valid from - till, where did you get the brochure from, when did you get the brochure, when did you book online, do the hotel/agency have the new brochure, what is the relationship to the hotel of the company (if you didn't get the brochure direct) where you got the brochure.
other than answering those questions it is hard to distinguish your rights, though if there is no timescale the brochure covers and the offer in the brochure has no fixed timescale then you may have a point, but again you have already contracted at a price that you have agreed.
If they stubbornly stand by their position other than bringing your evidence to the attention of trading standards there will be little you can actively do.

If you read the booking conditions it will say that the prices in the brochure are valid at time of going to print and the price can change at any time. So, they dont have to honour the price.

Under the Trades Descriptions Act and Fair Trading, I would say YES... unless there is something in the small print of the brochure giving a disclaimer.

I don't think so, they are under no obligation to sell anything to you. Hard luck but 10 out of 10 for trying !
