Just spoke with the UK Centurion line and they mentioned a free night offer at Peninsula hotels until March 2016. It seemed to only be available at a limited number of them (e.g. only Tokyo and Beijing in Asia), which is unfortunate given my travel to Hong Kong. However, she said it was valid at the Paris property as well as Beverly Hills, Istanbul and the Laguna Beach Montage. Does anyone have the exact T&Cs?

Thanks BLV. I made my booking, but there are two key facts to add. One positive, one negative.
You have to pay 20% VAT on the cost of the suite, which is a LOT.
^ You get all the usual FHR perks, free breakfast, F&B credit, possible upgrade, etc.
