Classic case of your mileage might vary. We've stayed at both in the last 6 months. Bargain of a deal at the IC and upgraded well. Paid close to rack rate ($750/night is the figure that springs to mind) at the Margot due to a last-minute unavoidable in-person meeting, rationalised it by assuming...

Flew 8 and 10 Mar, 45 bonus SC landed 22 Apr dated 29 Mar.

This is the only Conrad we've stayed at and our first Hilton (I received Diamond status as a Virgin Plat) and Mrs Ryan always compares every Hilton with the Conrad HK as the benchmark. We received a modest upgrade (pre-Covid), but bc we stayed 10 days I wasn't expecting anything huge. The...

Mine were processed 19 April.

Yep, that's what I found online. I was hoping for the unhopeable. We'll probably bail to the CP. We stayed at the Margot in Feb w our dog. It was a last-minute, mid-week thing and so I had to pay for the most expensive room that wasn't a suite. We received a bottle of sunblock as our password...

Being hitting Google but to no effect. Guessing no-one here knows the new password? Please and thank you...

Unlikely I'll ever stay, but kinda interesting... https://www.travelweekly.com/Travel-News/Hotel-News/Hilton-acquires-the-NoMad-brand

Me too. I copy and pasted the link to this thread :)

Actually you can (What You Should Know about COVID-19 and Pets | Healthy Pets, Healthy People | CDC). Particularly if you kiss them. But, yeah, unlikely.

In the absence of evidence or good policy, make $h!t up and hope it sticks. #auspol Also, was this the new big announcement?

Sorry, bad form replying to your post. Can I bring my dog into the lounge? Is she counted as a guest BC I'm a very important Platinum and need my full allocation? Jane?

We PetJeted (or JetPeted, I can't remember) the dog BNE-NTL and she loved it. Love a pooch, but not sure about this idea of sticking them under the seat (as if you could with a standard 🐩).

One of my favourite travel pics...

The worst for me is Sydney. We stayed at GC, Adelaide and Cairns during Covid and much preferred the at-table service. Less feeding time at the zoo, less confusion... I'm dropped Diamond to Silver too and will only miss the bfast.

One of my pet hates, especially as I get older and my eyes are less efficient. It's called mood lighting, but my wife always remarks it puts me in a mood: can't find things, walking into things, struggling w switches...

I was there more than a year ago for probs the 4th time and the GM checked us in! He noted that Alex, the ex-future wife, and I had been recent visitors and asked us for our feedback. We mentioned that the rooms were starting to look a bit old and he said that while some rooms had been...

I used it today. Not sure of the discount bc my original booking bounced (cookies, cache), then I remembered the code and when I went through the booking again the prices had increased (failed booking said I was last fare at that price and then there were 'only 5 seats available' 😓

<offtopic>Not Hilton, but I was asked to sign a waiver in Canberra when I ordered a Mexican chilli. Canberra! You know the place w the massive expat Mexican population. After the meal, I complained that I had had more spicy food at Taco Bell. What a palava.</offtopic>

It would be great if Diamond access *is* a feature. Pre-Covid, the West Hotel used to give you comp drinks and snacks in the bar area, but that was a long time ago. Given my stays w Hilton have significantly declined and I won't be Diamond (or Gold, or Silver!) from 1 Apr 2024, we were thinking...

In the words of F Bueller: "A: You can never go too far. B: If I'm gonna get busted, it is *not* gonna be by a guy like *that*." With me it's the principle. It frustrates me to no end that I know their policies better than they do (maybe bc I have more to lose). So my role is to educate them...
