St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, Abu Dhabi, UAE United Arab Emirates Opened Nov,11
Just got the mail explaining they can't accomodate my Thanksgiving stay
Have been offered the other Abu Dhabi Starwoods as replacements, but I'm not keen having been to them all previously. What are my rights in this situation?

Currently the first date you can book the property on the SPG.com is December 27th. According to Platinum concierge the hotel is open and accepting reservation but sold out until that date....

The Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi just opened and is stunning http://www.abudhabi.park.hyatt.com/h...index.jsp?null
Clearly not *wood, but if you don't want to the stay/night credit, than it's a good alternative.

Although SPG.com doesn't appear to have any availability until 16th January, the hotel has just confirmed via email that they opened on 26th December and are taking reservations.
