I've booked two rooms for 2 nights on points to help use them up. Booked Mon + Tue of a Sun-Wed stay, as they have the highest cash price.
Now need to book Sun as a cash booking. Children can be in same two bed set up as reward booking, so will probably stay in same room for whole stay.
Are the River View, Luxury and Exec rooms particularly special enough to pay the extra for our room for the night, given that we'll probably then need to move to standard room for points stay (unless they let us stay in same room as an upgrade). Or should we just go the standard room from the start as well to minimise moving hassles for all?

I have attached a picture of as good as it gets Riverview wise from the Conrad. The Riverview Suite rooms are otherwise carbon copies of the the regular Deluxe suite. Sometimes its only $20-30 per night more for the view, other times its $60 or so more. Make no bones about it that it is not as wide and expansive a riveview as you might think, but I like it when the sun is setting. I tend to only specifically book it when the rates are low or the differential is small. If you are Diamond they will sometimes upgrade you to "partial" Riverview so you will see a small portion of that. By the way, that white think on the left is the Ferry and the greenery beneath is the Irish Hunger Memorial.

While I am posting views, I have to post the view from right smack directly across the Hudson which is taken from terrace patio of the Empire Suite of the Hyatt Regency Jersey City (using one of my DSUs). If you look closely you can see the Conrad just left of center back behind those two big buildings (the Conrad is only 16 stories high), the white is the aforementioned ferry which conveniently goes to the Paulus Hook right next to the Hyatt Regency Jersey City so a few times I have taken Amtrak up to Newark Penn Station taken the PATH to Exchange Place with is less than a hundred yards from the entrance of the Hyatt Jersey City and then the next day taken the Ferry over to the Conrad to be in Manhattan the rest of my stay.

I stayed one night last week. They don't hand out breakfast voucher any more. The breakfast for Gold was served at the Atrio restaurant which has my name. The Menu is the same as mentioned earlier in this thread. It is the right hand column of this linked menu.

I had the Scrambled Egg Bruschetta which was good.

I stayed there for 2 nights (Sat/Sun) earlier in the week. Had a Diamond upgrade to an Executive Suite that looked right out to the WTC.
Diamond breakfast on the Sunday was the buffet. On Monday morning it was the regular Honors menu (buffer is weekends only).
Overall I found the hotel was nice but my experience was disappointing. I enjoyed my following 3 nights at the Hilton Times Square better.
When I arrived in the room all the cushions on the couch were sitting on top of each other as it looked like cleaners had tried to clean stains off a few. That was an easy fix (but simply shouldn't hapen in the first place) but over the next few hours found the bulb in the light above the bath was blown, there was lots of dust around the extractor vent in the bathroom, and the back of the TV remote was covered in sticky stuff from somebody else. There was also a large indent in the wall where the door safety lock hits it. All of these are minor things, but IMHO simply not acceptable for a Conrad.

Can anyone get a better rate at the Conrad NYC?
Hi all,
Don't shoot me down quickly, I rarely leave the BAEC forum and this is a new world to me!
I need to stay at the Conrad NYC due to location and the best rate I've been able to find so far is $1,427.64 for 4 nights between 22 Jun 2017 - 26 Jun 2017. If anyone else is able to find a way to beat it or knows a discount code they could PM me, I'd really appreciate it
Thank you

If you have a 'sports affiliation' - loosely defined but it asks for ID - a Hilton MVP rate can be had at the Millenium Hilton for $199/night (10 minutes' walk away). See stay.hilton.com/mvp
You can knock an extra $20 off (before tax) per night if you have AAA membership (this includes the AA in the UK) or if you have a corporate chain-wide discount.
Travelbag can do the four nights for £897 (plus you may be able to get cashback). This wouldn't qualify for a best rate guarantee because of the onerous cancellation conditions - plus you wouldn't be entitled to any status benefits and potentially there's no free wifi, so you'd have to factor in the flexibility (including the chance that the rate will go down), plus the value of the points, breakfast(?) and wifi, and the relatively small chance of a meaningful upgrade. As a diamond I'd go with Hilton on this, but it's a close-run thing.
(Don't forget that Hilton offers a kind of cashback if you book through the avios store - not the BA one - no idea how reliable it is but that's another couple of thousand avios).

I think going for the Millenium is the most cost effective option but it means I'll have to walk 15 minutes each way, but walking has never hurt anyone. That rate is also means I can cancel without a fee.
I'm not going book the Conrad and wait it out and see if the rate drops closer to the time, although I can't find the travelbag deal, which seems reasonable but I'm guessing it doesn't include taxes.

I found Travelbag through trivago.co.uk
The difference is ~£180. However, for that, you get:
Four nights' breakfast;
35k Hilton points - easily $175 worth;
Wifi
Possible room upgrade
Stay credit
Flexibility
When I stayed at the Millenium a couple of years ago the rate came down drastically in the week or so before my stay so keep an eye on it.

Best Rate I can get with my corporate rate is $1247 for 4 nights with tax. Shoot for that as my corporate rates are usually the lowest I ever see.
Cheapest Hotel for me in the area that is full service is the Hilton NY Grand Central so you may want to consider that.
