Langham offers a $100 spa credit

Yes, unfortunately AMEX FHR does not yet have bookings for 2016 yet and I don't want to wait until November (or later) when those contracts are finalized to book. Still though, good to keep in mind and if there is a good promo running I will certainly be looking into that option.

PH Melbourne is ok, but not on the same level as the PH Sydney.
Thanks Carol. Easy airport access is definitely a big plus for the Sheraton. Helpful insights!
