OK phoned the Hilton Groups Manager, Adelaide, and this is what she has offered by email.
If she loads this, so it can be web bookable under some promo code I presume it will have no cancel fees. (Americans .... remember these are
$A NETT fees and
include all taxes.)
So please hold off making any direct bookings until we clear that up.
Base Rate does not look super enticing to me as Joe Anyone can book weekends for the Winter months on Wotif for $A165. Friday July 31 they go down to $A130 on wotif, yet the next Friday August 7 they are up to $A305, so like all hotels, it is based on conferences and such like.
These rates below appear to be about $A10 a room under web rate for that weekend.
I'll ask if she might do a touch lower, and I can if needed ask the Hyatt Regency for a group quote, although that is in nowhere near as useful a locale as Hilton for most of what we do .... altho Hyatt is far closer to the main Shopping Mall.
