Reply To: Hilton partners with Small Luxury Hotels of the World

Just had an excellent stay at the Sukhothai Bangkok. Booked on points thanks to the new SLH partnership, 45k per night. Very lovely welcome, felt well looked after (staff all superb) – don’t know whether that’s standard or they’re making a particular effort for new Hilton customers. Got upgraded from the standard room to a very lovely suite, and as Hilton Diamond, free breakfast (which is excellent and a huge spread that could easily see you through lunch as well! 😉 Thoroughly enjoyed my stay, and it struck me as a good redemption option. Cash prices were around £220 per night for the same dates, so that’s, what, about 0.49p per point – decent value I thought, and certainly I felt like I was getting a lot of value in terms of space, ambience, service, etc than I might with other redemption options. Having previously stayed multiple times at the Conrad, Hilton Millennium, Hilton Sukhumvit, which are in the same ballpark, points-wise, I think the Sukhothai is my new go-to favourite. Nothing wrong with any of those, I should add, but they should probably cost fewer points in comparison. That said, if the Sukhothai were to go up in price, I’m not sure it would be quite so attractive – it’s a good sweet spot right now, I think. Highly recommended anyway.
