Why them differ between URBAN and CHIC ( no idea ), I always book the ALOFT room and always be in the same rooms.
However them already doing this since January.
From May onward ( low season ) them open it.
Nobody can tell me, that every weekend FRI/SAT, the standard rooms are sold out ! Them simply close CHIC and sell as URBAN, so that them not have to give the reduced award booking.
And there is also absolutely no difference between this URBAN and CHIC, even not the view or floor
i found a difference:
whichever one is higher gives you a free disposable toothbrush
they're great to take home and have for "friends" that stay over
oh
and the rooms don't face that condo, they face north and towards the airport link
i always got "upgraded" to those rooms as a gold.

but this is indeed new. weekends are 3k, and i'd often use a single one of those 3k nights to stay-hop in order to get plat. i think they're catching on. plus they seem to be swamped, checking in as a gold at 6-7pm i had to wait for rooms on 2 occasions.
