Also SPG has a Cash and Points rate which is a pretty good value too.
As for two healthy legs right now thats a go hopefully they have taxis when I get tired from sightseeing
How many minutes by leg and foot action?
Translation walking distance!
The size is comparable to the regular suites at the Palm Springs Suites property, really classic one bedroom room, one living room suite with a regular bath, no jet tub or steam room / sauna.

As pointed out before, if you go with the Hyatt you have far more guaranteed perks, but if you are unlucky you get a RC courtyard view room...

Using a suite upgrade cert. would guarantee you a river view suite, aside from the stunning views from the Regency Club.

The 4P is generally far less expensive and actually a 3 star hotel, but service is hit or miss, same with the upgrades at the Dom, either you end up in a regular room, no lounge or breakfast or they give you a nice suite with floor to ceiling windows of the cathedral, a stone throw away...

Rate at the Hyatt should be Euro 150 on weekends or 190 on weekdays, normally - 20 %, if a Limited Time promo rate is available. During the summer, the rates will probably decrease to Euro 130 on any day. If you stay longer, the 20/30/40 % off rates could be interesting for the Dom, the property used to be in the 90's several times last year.
