Hmm, can be but not necessarily. Often I have received the best offers from the hotel directly. If you find something that beats their online rates, give them a call and ask them to match that rate or guarantee you a better room than you would book. Also, if you are e.g. a Hilton HHonors Diamond then staying at the Conrad would get you some nice goodies like room upgrade to exec floor, free bkfst and lounge access.
