  Hi all 🙂

  I used the £50 off £250 Hilton spend on one of my AMEX cards (AMEX Platinum Charge). Has anybody had any luck phoning up recently and asking for the offer to be available on another card where it has not appeared? (e.g. AMEX Platinum Credit; BA card? Platinum Supplementary/Additional Cards).

    If you have sufficient planned bookings to trigger the credit between them, I will happily pay you £25 to pay for them for you… I have the offer multiple times over, and not enough stays to use it!!

  The Capital Radio building is on the SE corner a few doors down from the Odeon Leicester Square.

  The Indigo is on the North side next to the Cineworld (formerly Empire).

  It has 9 floors with rooms on floors 1 to 8. The bar takes up floor 9 with its own wrap-around balcony.
  Floor 7 has the rooms with balconies.
  Floor 8 has rooms with fantastic view, provided you don’t have 810 on the back or 801 on the side.
  I got upgraded to corner room 802. It was compact and some things didn’t work, but I enjoyed it a lot. The vista was fantastic. I’m back there again this weekend.

  Slightly OT, I’m currently in the IC Toronto Club lounge and have noticed there’s no free alcohol. It’s all charged to your room via a card you have to fill in and pass to the staff.

  Seems like DUB is looking to build a hotel connected to Terminal 2: https://www.dublinairport.com/latest-news/detail/daa-seeks-bidders-for-new-terminal-linked-hotel

  All exciting!

  The US is decades behind the developed world in some ways, and this is one of them. Sharp pricing practices are just part of the culture.

  Apologies if I’ve missed it, but does the hotel fee apply to reward bookings? I assume not, because I’m not charged a similar fee for reward nights at the palazzo, which I assume charges it for cash bookings. If not, it may be cheaper to buy the points and book a reward night than to pay the cash and then this additional tax.

  I’ve booked three nights in July on points. Will I need to pay taxes and the resort fee for each night?

  • Rob says:

    Not the taxes (they are a % if your rate, which is nil) but you will pay the resort fee.

      Hmmm… I booked it on 29 April and don’t see anything on my booking confirmation. If they are going to ask for a resort fee then I may just cancel the booking and book elsewhere.

        Only appeared this week. Debatable whether it can be added in arrears.
