Nice heads up.

We'll have to wait until Sunday to book these rates, however.

No you don't; use the link for the A|Club 'pre-sale' at the top of the post ...

Thanks for that, i managed to book some Novotel rooms in Brisbane 1/2 price
I usually tend to stay at the Hilton but found this price hard to turn down.

The promotion says that A|Club points will be eligible on these rates.

However, I'm hoping that A|Club benefits (e.g. upgrades for Golds on request) will be available (barring things like a full hotel etc.). I know that sometimes chains are pretty lousy for either:

• Refusing benefits by virtue of the low cost rate of room
• Not offering or providing benefits in lieu of that can't be provided (although this one is debatable)

you'll find that in the T&C, upgrade benefits apply only to Sofitel hotels. Unfortunately Sofitel isn't participating in this sale.

Damn, you are right.

Geez, almost makes me think, "What's the bl**dy point..." except that those prices are rather cheap. I don't think I'll be pulling a PC or Hilton property any time soon at those prices... (at least for the city and dates I'm looking at)

According to this and this, the upgrades and other benefits are available at Pullman and MGallery too.

I've booked four nights in a suite at Novotel Hong Kong Century for about A$200 per night. Not exactly bargain of the century (if you'll forgive the pun) but seems reasonable.
