*UPGRADE to a King View Suite- Request an upgrade for your current Standard Suite accommodations to a Spectacular King View Suite! Upgraded suite includes all the great amenities your current reservation boasts while also possessing stunning views of the city lights from your balcony perched on top of the mountainside. (Upgrade not guaranteed/ based on availability)
This option has been available for quite some time via the "reservation confirmation email" that HH sends out, the same one where you can pre-order snacks for your room. The difference is that now these options shows up on your reservation page as well.

Asking you to pay extra now doesn't mean you won't get an upgrade later.
