Fairmont Rimowa offer

https://www.fairmont.com/promotions/rimowa/

The package seems to increase BAR from 200 to 400 per night.

The Rimowa luggage is worth about 500, so basically stay at Fairmont, and save 50% on your Rimowa purchase.

Interesting offer, though it seems there´s a two night minimum stay requirement, though you get two Rimowa suitcases.

If these were full-size Rimowas I may have taken them up on the offer, but I´ve never seen the point of spending $500 (or even $250-$300 with this offer) for a Rimowa rollaboard.

Any way we can see the rates online?

No way to check rate online. When I called in, they said the agent must do it over the phone. I asked for a rate code, but they said they don't have it.

It's a good deal if you're going to stay at any of these properties anyway, and are willing to pay a bit more, but to make a detour to get the Rimowa suitcases doesn't make any sense.

I check a few dates around August 23-25 and the weekend 25-27.

Whistler was $735 plus tax a night in gold room

Scottsdale (Middle of summer, Biltmore is going for $100 plus Virtuoso or FHR benefits) was $540 plus tax

Since I got a megado Rimowa piece heading my way I quickly concluded this offer ain't for me.

How much is the megado piece? Is it carry on? Equivalent to salsa deluxe?

Don't you need to pay for the Rimowa piece separately at SMD?

I don't think price has been released yet even though I was suppose to get it in November 2012. It is a carry on and I think it'll be matte black with a little SMD tag. This years megado has a stop at the Rimowa factory in Toronto area.

http://boardingarea.com/viewfromthew...nt-hotel-stay/

but for Fairmont Ottawa
Gold room was $309/night
RIMOWA rate was $670/night
= each carry on is about $361+tax... not worth it IMO
