Hi:

I'm able to use my American Airlines advantage miles for Hilton Hotels. We've chosen the Waldorf Hilton London (not available in the other parts of Europe we'll be in) - is it worth it? We've been to London before but like the area of the hotel.

Any input much appreciated.

Thanks,
Carol

You may do better just to purchase the room. It is 4* Mayfair, $105-$110 on Priceline. I stayed there in October and loved it--marble floor, huge walk-in closet, mohair throw and beatiful health club with indoor pool. Only 5 minutes from Covent Garden.

Pilgrim are you saying you can purchase it outright on Priceline? What if you get something else instead?

Hi Patrick
I travel often to London on business. Each time I bid 4* Mayfair $105-110 ($110 more recently because of the exchange rate) I have received this property. Go to biddingfortravel.com. A number of us post our winning rates for certain zones on Priceline. This is a very safe zone. Any of
the other options are nice, but this is a consistent win for me. Don't bid around $85, however, because that's the going rate for the Thistle. It's a good enough property, but the rooms are not as nice as the Waldorf. Priceline puts you in a property as close to your bid, so certain ones are consistently over $100 and others are less.
Hope that makes sense. Save those miles for another vacation perhaps!

Someone just got the Holiday Inn Mayfair on BetterBidding for a bid of $104. I think pilgrim's strategy is risky if you want only one hotel.
