I imagine they will, but there wouldn't be any elite recognition, etc.

They are not honoring, at least that is what View from the wing said. I also just got off the phone with them the rep did not say either way.

Westin Diplomat Is Leaving Starwood
« Reply #11 on: September 02, 2014, 01:29:25 PM »
This is from a news story i just read, see the last line. Did anyone hear this before?

"MIAMI—Thayer Lodging Group is not talking, but our sister publication is reporting that it just purchased the Westin Diplomat Resort & Spa in Hollywood, FL. The sale price: $460 million.

The Daily Business Review broke the story. The Westin is located at 355 South Ocean Drive in Hollywood. According to DBR, the company also snapped up the an 18-hole golf course just down the street for another $20 million and grabbed a few parcels next to the resort for $55.5 million. All told, Thayer shelled out $535.5 million to Diplomat Companies Limited Partner in the deal.

Westin was set to leave the Starwood system in October. The resort sits on the Atlantic Ocean.

The only thing they offered me so far is 12k points towards a new reservation. That doesn't really work for me since I had cp reserved and now of course there's none left in St Regis or the four points. Also St Regis is real expensive.

It is if you use points.  HH are worthless these days.
