Starwood Preferred Guest - Century Plaza LA Room Question

When I couldn't view my reservation on line, I called the platinum line. I found out that the hotel has ALREADY upgraded me to a "Century Suite", a week in advance of my arrival. OK, they've won me over.

I've stayed at this hotel a few times, but I'm curious if anyone knows....is a Century Suite the same as their suites on the Penthouse floor?

I don't know where the suite is, but it is about half the size of the Penthouse suites at 700 square feet. The living area and bedroom are separate and it has a dining room that can accommodate 10 guests. Also two private balconies on a corner room with a city view.

Sounds nice. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif
