Under normal circumstances, I don't think I've ever used my points for any of these higher category hotels; 100K/night is pretty high up there. But, the location would be perfect for us to walk from the Burj Khalifa Fountains for the NY's fireworks after midnight. I don't look forward to possibly having to carry/drag 2 kids under the age of 9 after the show to my existing location at the Radisson Blu, but the cancellation policy seems a bit extreme.
I will likely cancel, as the entire trip is up in the air due to Omicron variant and whatever hoops I may have to jump through to go through 3 countries... but it would be nice if I can check this out.
😮 100k for the Edition?
save the points for something better.
You could use it for the Ritz-Carlton Al Wadi (desert resort that is child-friendly unlike Al Maha) or even the Ritz at JBR is decent.
