Chris26WI Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 Tried A LOT of combinations (2-3 nights) for 5star Hongkong (tried all zones) with different dates 2nd half of November,each up to around 75 USD (hoping for the Sheraton) but everything failed (the Sheraton seems to be fully booked frommiddle of November to Nov 20th according to spg.com, but the *wood online databank seemed to be offline sometimes).Anyone knows if there's something going on in HK during this period? (I am still flexible with the dates and not in a hurry).One of the Renaissance-Hotels (4star) would be fine too but I don't want to end up in one of the Regal Hotel or theKowloon Hotel.Macau might be a sort of alternative too (should be the Westin there, the 5-star-PL-hotel), but it's not the same of course :-(.

Chris26WI Posted October 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Thanks Dave. However I don't really think these cultural and touristic events will really affect the PL availability of 5-star hotels in HK, was thinking more of some sort of international convention/meeting/congress etc. - but will try again one of these days.

LHFlyer Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Hi Chris,I tried for ages to get 5-star for Friday Nov 5 - no success up to $120 (W HK) and $100 (Kln). But I managed to get a Hyatt FFN at the Grand Hyatt :) Link to comment
Chris26WI Posted October 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 FFN? = Frequent flyer night?! Link to comment
LHFlyer Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Faster Free Night - they ran the promotion again until September 30. Two stays = 1 free night. I had four 1-night stays in Manila, total cost 232 USD. Redeemed the nights at Grand Hyatt Hong Kong and Grand Hyatt Tokyo. :) Link to comment
