Priceline Hotel: 4* Los Angeles (Westwood-Century City) Hyatt Century Plaza

[jjhung88]

Have been bidding 4* in the area for over 2 weeks and got nothing even up to $150. Tried today starting with $145 since on hotwire I got 3.5* at $142 already and prices have been going up constantly over the 3 week period. Anyway this time first try and got accepted. I was really hoping for the Palomar but Hyatt Regency Century Plaza is still okay. Checked rack rate is $269/night.

Congrats on your success. :)

Sorry to hear you didn't get the Palomar, but nice deal for this Hyatt property.

Thank you for sharing your win and please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Enjoy your stay.

You're the first to report winning the Hyatt in PL's Century City-Westwood zone. Until now Century City area was part of Beverly Hills-West Hollywood zone.

PL recently shifted CC out of BH-WH and merged it with the former Brentwood-Westwood zone, now renamed "Westwood-Century City".

To update the Hotel List three hotels moved from BH-WH to WW-CC:

4* Hyatt Century Plaza

4* Intercontinental Century City

3* Courtyard Century City

Thanks for the info, Colfax... i've updated the Priceline Hotel List accordingly. We'll see if/how this effects PRICELINE bidding in the area.

Hyatt and Intercontinental probably came up more often than any other 4* in Bev Hills-WeHo. Now that they're in Westwood zone the door is open for other 4* hotels in BH-WH zone to appear more often. I expect we'll be seeing more of Andaz, Sofitel, and Mondrian now, among others.

I noticed something a little odd in Priceline's new Beverly Hills-WeHo zone map. There's a triangle-shaped notch cut out of the zone, at the west end. That missing triangle is where the Beverly Hilton is located. The zone looks like it was gerrymandered to specifically exclude the Hilton, which isn't in any Priceline zone now.
