Pricing means nothing, heck for a weekend trip to LA in July most companys wanted close to $100 a day for a compact. Usually you can get a BMer for that money.
I havnt been to this hotel, but luxury doesnt mean paying a high rate. The Pulitzer in AMS is usually above 300 Euros anight and as I said before Ive stayed there and didnt find the hotel luxurious in any sense of the word . Its a nice hotel and I enjoyed my stays but Luxury and Pulitzer doesnt belong in the same sentence
From what I read about the Mystique it has a great location and offers great views that doenst make it a luxury hotel, in might be the most luxurious hotel in that town or island and can even be the most expensive but that doesnt translate into being a true Luxury Hotel. The Imperial in VIE is a true luxury hotel and deserves having LC in its name, I know the Pulitzer doesnt deserve having LC in its name and only from what Ive read it seems this hotel shouldnt have it either (w/o taking this thread as the basis)
Ive never stayed in a FS Ive walked into a fair amount and luxury is seen and felt in everyone. I know Ive felt that way walking into (and staying at some LC Hotels) as with Ritz's. Maybe those hotels that arent in the same bag should be called a *Wood Collection Hotel rather then a LC collection
