And even Conrad Macau is hardly a deal as 1800 HKD equal to $232 USD !
Both prices you quote for Conrad HK and Conrad Macau are normal prices

After a year of going back and forth to the Conrad and Hilton in Singapore.....I have never seen them below 240Sing ever..... Standard is 280S, and above.
190 USD is considered excellent, but rarely.....almost never available.(random weekends if ever)
Conrad at 130USD and I need to book a personal week and take advantage of unlimited wine from 5pm till close....but i have a feeling that I wont ever see this.

That is a great rate in sing, the code never worked for me..... I get the conrad at 260. on a corp rate. Not a matress run but 210 is very good.
Kl is a deal and sentral does go below 100us. Ocasionally in the 85 range. They are Very good with upgrades.

Those are definitely good rates for SIN, but I think I will do my mattress run in Malaysia as it's much cheaper.
I'm thinking to do it for SPG/HHonors between Hilton KL & Le Meridien KL since these 2 buildings at KL Sentral are connected to each other.
opulentgroup,
Did you get points/stay credit for PR13CB rates?

If you havent stayed at Sentral before, their lounge is one of the best out there.....and I've seen more than a few including most IC's. I fly there from Singapore on the weekend, since its cheaper than staying in Sing and better for me......

In Singapore, the Conrad and Hilton are also connected by their excellent subway system, the MRT.

Just tested the PR13CB rate for Conrad Singapore and looks like it's valid till year end. Lowpeak would be S$221, saw Nov 3rd-4th going for S$189!!

This is where Hilton needs to introduce other lower brands in Asia, like IHG did with Holiday Inn.
