The freaking Doubletree West End is 143,000 per night? That's only 14K less than the Waldorf! And the boutique hotel Trafalger is a mere 93K per night. As for actual prices, the Doubletree is 296 , the Waldorf is 327, and the Trafalger is 246 GBP.
I was looking back in January and the Doubletrees in London were all in the 40-50K range.
Think they will settle back down or am I screwed?
Why oh why didn't you book back in January then? If things had gone lower, you could have cancelled and rebooked. Since they have so badly not, you would have been protected. I never for a minute thought things would get better after these "fabulous new perks". I didn't touch one of my reservations and I'm sooo glad I didn't - not a one has changed for the better.
