Hotel question

JaceTheAce · July 29th, 2004, 00:12

For all you airline pilots, what's the nicest hotel that you were lucky to stay in on your layover? Provide description of interior, location, and amenities [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I know this is a stupid question, but just curious!

mpenguin1 · July 29th, 2004, 00:15

I stayed at the crew layover hotel in Hong Kong, I think that it was called the Grand Regal
Hotel, damn hotel was sweet, they actually had a Tiffany in the lobby of the hotel.

Well I am not an airline guy, but we regularly stay at the St. Regis in Beijing... I like the personal butler service...

St. Regis - Beijing

The Qantas and BA folks flying into Singapore got to stay at the same hotel I did. It's a nice hotel.

Oh, and by the way, no rollaboards only for them. They got to check a large suitcase as well.

Any place with hourly rates

When I was there last fall I paid $340.65 USD per night... I think that was our Corporate rate... retail was something like $449.00 USD/night...

Of course all of our dinners there were right at $100 per person/per night... My expense report for the entire 12 day trip was right around $6,000...

So it is all relative...

Doug Taylor · July 29th, 2004, 17:06

I'm building a airline employee travel website and the reservations engine that I'm integrating with it shows a rate of $205 USD with:

50usd Spa Credit Per Stay. Continental - Breakfast For 2 Daily. 4pm Late Check Out. - Executive Deluxe Room: Butler Service: Cd/Dvd - Stereo: Separate Shower/Bath: Highspeed

Not bad for an international hotel!

They have since reduced their rates... I just got an email from there offering specials... Of course the $340 was for the junior executive suite, not the regular rooms...

500 bucks a day--wow! I always wanted to fly the big stuff, but now I'm feeling the need to fly corporate and live the life that God and my mother intended me to live [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Why don't we change network JC just this once

Doug Taylor · July 29th, 2004, 20:42

Wow, I can only come within about $15 of that rate. But good for them as using a third party to book a hotel room largely stinks.

flyover · July 29th, 2004, 20:52

This was my favorite.:

chrisesp · July 29th, 2004, 21:03

I don't know how to post pictures, but the JW Marriott Ihilani Resort and Spa is the best place to stay on oahu, it's away from the craziness of Waikiki. We stayed in a junior suite, it was so awsome!

Do they really have hotels with hourly rates?
Im not an airline pilot or anything, but Our Lucaya in Freeport is nice, particularly the Light-house pointe section. I think it has since been bought by the best western or the like.

H46Bubba · July 30th, 2004, 01:29

Oh man, the Lucaya rocks! We stayed there when we had a port visit to Freeport. Only a couple of us at least. The rest just hung around like they were guests. Great water slides. There are a couple good bars right across the street and a good restraunt. We flew from the ship, which was mored jusy outside the port, to FLL to pick up the mail and cargo.
