While I appreciate SP03’s summary, it misses the reason I’ve never stayed at the HdL - room size on points stays.

Base rooms at HdL are 215 sq ft- tiny for me. One category upgrade to view rooms are the same size. King Deluxe is 270 sq ft. Same if king deluxe view or corner. Family suite (without view) is 320 sq ft. Junior suite (with or without view) is 375 sq ft.

Not until you get to a Family suite with view or Executive Suite (430 sq ft) do you get a large room.

Base room at PHV is 323 sq ft, base suite using tsu at least 484 sq ft.

Given I stay for 5-7 days in high season (making upgrades tough), the lack of tsu participation means I’m choosing potentially (likely?) 215 sq ft (or 270 sq ft with luck) vs 484 sq ft for 10k points/night.

If booking cash, you could probably get executive suite at HdL for less than base room at PHV ( about 400 euros less in the random night next November that I checked).

I also don’t one suites in the top floor with slanted roofs (servants quarters back in the day). Both hotels have them.
