On the whole this isn’t bad. Andaz Wall Street goes up to Category 6, that seems high to me considering that their weekend rates tend to be quite low. And it’s sad to see Hotel Victor become category 6. But the two Dubai properties drop a category.
I’m sad to see Hua Hin jump to category 4, it was a category 1 property less than a year ago and much of the year rooms can be had around $100 although the prices do really spike during their peak season.
Mostly a lot of Hyatt Place properties moving up and now. So on the whole, not really big news, just part of the usual re-categorization of properties. Nothing I’m too disappointed about, nothing I’m elated about, just housekeeping more or less.
Glad it’s just housekeeping and not some new tier for the PH Vendome;
Thanks for the preview Gary!
Thankfully it’s just housekeeping. My wife and I are getting ready to book a reservation at the PH Vendome later this year for a stay late next year. I was really dreading a new category that would put this hotel out of reach for us.
Andaz Wall Street is worth whatever they ask. I love that hotel.
