If anyone is planing on staying at Waldorf and not eating the free breakfast (Hechsher, Early flight, etc') please PM shimino1

If you get free drinks vouchers and don't use them, I'll buy it off you for 10 shek per voucher.
PM shimino1

If anyone is planing on staying at Waldorf and not eating the free breakfast please PM dragoddfer, and he may be able to pay for the breakfast.

That's nonsense.

The likelihood someone is booking a points room and for the nights you need at the exact time as you refunding and rebooking is very, very small.
The odds definitely are against such a scenario, but I was more concerned that WAJ would block standard room from returning to inventory on a busy high season weekend
Either way I'm relieved to have it booked. One night left to book!

There are rooms but they've put a 2night min.  If you search for two nights, they have lots of rooms (but no standard rooms).  Ironically, when I searched just the 19th it ONLY let me book a standard room under their Diamond guarantee policy, but not with points, at $700 per night! If you're paying anyway you'd be better off to book the two nights for almost the same price as one night w/the Diamond guarantee rate...

How far in advance have people emailed for upgrades? Wait for them to email me ten days before my arrival, or email them proactively a few weeks out?
Put it in the notes on your reservation then about 4 days before, the Concierge emails you and you can request it again then.

Garden Terrace on the 4th floor opened a few nights ago. It's Tapas cigars and cocktails.
