Isnt the 18% tax only for Israelis? Meaning if I'm being charged for it when I book, will I get refunded?

K thanks. Just to verify, if award nights are available for 80k, that means I can use a free night certificate?

My citi prestige card is refunding the 4th night, including the VAT that was charged. I called the hotel, they say they will refund the VAT once I complete my stay. Sounds like a nice dose of double dipping

If you call up Citi, they can probably fix that for you.

Got an email from my concierge, but when I emailed back right away I got an auto response that he is away till August 30th. Tried emailing the contacts he provided but no response. A little frustrating. Anyone have a good contact there? PM if you dont want to put it up here. Thanks!

She's great.  She initially didn't respond to us, either, but the requests we made via email were all arranged when we arrived.  We met her at the hotel and she apologized she couldn't respond but made sure to fulfill our requests.

Not a big deal. When you have a reservation the hotel emails you before you come and tell you who your concierge is and there email of you have any special requests.

I am at the Waldorf right now (posting from their wifi). I also got that auto response from Jason, and Amira didn't answer my email either. However everyone here ha provided outstanding service so far.

They will be having a seuda hamafsekes at 6:30 on Shabbos. When I initially asked about it they said there was not going to be anything for pre-fast meal, but then I got another email that they just decided to make a seuda hamafsekes at 6:30 ( this was on Tuesday).  It is $55 per person.
