Well, booked a flexible rate for 4 nights at the Hualuxe Twelve. Still options to change, split the stay etc. if need be.
King Courtyard view which seems fine for my liking.
Came in at around CNY5267 or £565 (maybe £130 a night).
Few other options further out ranging from £37 a night upwards.
Pretty much 3x the Hualuxe for the Regent on the Bund. Not worth it in my opinion.
Did throw in some bonus points that were offered.
£9 for 5k points seems to be a no brainer to me. Without doing the maths, far cheaper than buying at a 100% bonus?
