Conrad Hotel de Ville Location: Hauptbahnhof - City Center - Oktoberfest Star rating: 4-star Check-in date: Wed, Oct 2 Check-out date: Sat, Oct 5 Amenities: Free Breakfast Free Internet Pet friendly Restaurant(s) Business Center Laundry (Self Service) High-Speed Internet Access Hotel Rate per night: $281.00 Nights: 3 Rooms: 1 Tax recovery charges & fees: $113.95 Subtotal: $956.95 Trip total: $956.95 Seems expensive, but it is during Oktoberfest and you pay for proximity to the Oktoberfest grounds

I've been looking at 5 stars in Rome also (for a similar timeframe), based on the stars, amenities and TripAdvisor ratings here are my educated guesses...though the only way to know for sure is to actually book one Pantheon/Plaza Navona - sounds like the St. George (here the Spa/Free Breakfast seems to narrow the field). Read the fine print if you book this one, in addition to the nightly rate there is a resort fee of 10.00/room to be paid directly to the hotel Coliseum/Roman Forum - Inn at the Forum, very few 5 stars in this area and the trip advisor rating and amenities seem to be a match Via Veneto/Villa Borghese -Aleph A Boscolo Luxury Hotel (based on spa and trip advisor rating) Trevi Fountain/Piazza di Spagna - This one is tough, lots of hotels in the area have the same tripadvisor rating and amenities, I am thinking maybe the Sofitel (because I have booked Sofitels through Hotwire before) but it could also be the InterContinental or one of many independent 5 stars in the neighbourhood...there are lots. The above are just my best guesses based on the available info. I am looking for a 5 star in rome the last week of September so if you book I'd appreciate knowing if I was right :) (or if I am wrong)

Also tried Priceline for a 5 star at Heathrow and purchased Hotwire room when the equivalent bid on Priceline was rejected (suspect it may be the same Hotel as I am unaware of another 5 star near Heathrow). Amenities are as follows: Airport Shuttle Smoke Free Rooms Fitness Center Restaurant(s) Business Center High-Speed Internet Access Spa Services Worth noting is that this hotel can be accessed directly from Heathrow (via a walkway at terminal 5) so no need for a shuttle
