Just did it.

Best guess for this property would be the Sofitel.

Please follow-up this thread with whatever you decide to do for this stay (not just what you didn't do)... even if you don't use PRICELINE or HOTWIRE, cancel the trip, book direct, etc.

I tried to book it. But after submitting the credit card information, the site said the hotel cannot be booked at this time. When I recheck the hotel list, the hotel was no longer listed.

Well, I tried HOTWIRE again after an hour or two when the system wouldn't let me make the purchase, and the same hotel showed up but at $150 per night instead of $152. It probably was due to the system in the process of readjusting the rate!

I committed to buy and it is Sofitel, as you suspected!

I am pleased with the location and price as I will be attending a meeting a few blocks away at the Rittenhouse hotel, which is at $229/night, meeting rate.

I actually also tried PRICELINE earlier using BiddingHelper.com, but stopped at $135 per night after 7 bids with your listed bidding strategy. Figured that I could have retried after twenty four hours wait, and if patient enough over the next week or two, could probably get a lower rate with PRICELINE as the date comes a bit closer. But with Sofitel almost a sure bet but only at least $60 difference between the two at this point, I decided to go ahead and commit.

Thanks for the help.
