Diamonds get a free bf and two drink coupons (no happy hour by the pool anymore). The bf at the Doubletree is good and the pool is larger than the HP, but I like the HP "rooftop" bar that has live entertainment some nights. You can get a small elite discount when ordering food and some drinks at the HP rooftop bar (prices are reasonable to begin with there) and at night food in the galley in the lobby is discounted. The Doubletree is usually more expensive than the HP, esp. if you use the Freelancer rate at the HP.
Hyatt points are worth a lot more than Hilton points (mb 4x as much), but there are good Hilton promos sometimes. I don't chase Hilton status so I need and look for Hyatt stays and the HP Suk. is usually a good price. Since I value Hyatt points at 2c per point (I know others value Hyatt points less), I usually end up paying at the HP Suk. instead of using points, since paying earns me points worth about 20% of the price (when using the Hyatt cc). The HP has a nicer lobby than the Doubletree nearby, but you do get 2 cookies at the Doubletree (though sometimes you have to ask for the 2nd one). The HP has had some bf food cutbacks lately, but it's still good.
It seems that Hilton do not have good hotel promotion currently .
I am curious to know what food has been cut back at HP Sukumvit .
In one of the email, HP Sukhumvit told me that the new policy for no longer offer comp breakfast begin Dec 14th, 2024 . Any booking done before that, comp breakfast still provides to hotel guest .
After many email exchange, HP Sukhumvit team finally agrees to make one time exception for me + 1person in the same room, to have comp breakfast daily . I have made a request they note that under my reservation . Will see if the hotel will honor that when we check in .
On my last 2 nights of this trip, I want to stay somewhere instead of stay at HP Sukhumvit . Do you have any recommendation of other hotel besides Hilton or Double Tree near by . That will give me more option to choose for my next trip .
