I have since then seen that using hotels.com and checking prices is usually a good indicator of pricing and availability of what the concierge can see. I tried directly asking them and they refused to confirm they were using hotels.com.
When I spoke to the Concierge in the USA he went directly onto the hotels website and was able to get me a rate that the hotel offered which included extra's that OTA's didn't offer. Not that it was of any use as he could only book for US card holders.
