Complimentary (No longer, is now 60sh for self park - Drago)

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

Seems like it was finally sold. The new owner Michel Ohayon owns a Waldorf in Paris

The article claims that it will not only stay Hilton but that the contract requires the buyer to begin construction of the pool and spa immediately.

You do not honestly think that a successful businessman like Ohaion will sink $150M into the WAJ without knowing about points reservations? or maybe you were joking and I missed the point :)

+1. The sales price is based on revenue, and they will have poured through years of receipts...discounting for “abnormal” ratios of sleeping room/meetings & banquets, points/revenue bookings, etc.

Well it was no secret why it shlepped the whole time. The new owner wants it and it will only bring good for the hotel to have it.

I am there IYH Fri-Tuesday, booked way back.
I noticed a few days ago that the second Sunday was available using points, maybe keep checking...
