Want to chime in on that sentiment. (I thought I heard La Defense just left the Honors program?)We are staying in Rome 5 nights at Marriott Grand Flora (160,000) pts. stayed last year at Champs Elysees Marriot 5 nights 160,000 pts. and while we didn't have the points in account for a Marriott London stay I was envious of the props we saw. We stayed at Hilton Waldorf and they were gracious but I researsched H props extensively and there isn't a Hilton knockout in London.

Everyone has different award 'needs' certainly but for major city mid-high end availability at a reasonable point redemption I would take Marriott points
over the "new" Hilton points.
