The Lounge is not Everything

.... I really am counting on lounge access.

Dawn,

Personally, I think that it is a BIG mistake to let the existence or otherwise of a lounge influence your choice of a vacation location. Sure, the lounge is a nice add-on, but remember that these days, an upgrade- especially on a reward stay - is a bit of a gamble.

Hre are a couple of suggestions of excellent properties that are within a couple of hours of each other:

1. Hilton Molino Stucky Venice and Hotel Villa Iqiea Palermo (Sicily)- You can use one of the Low Cost Italian Airlines to fly between the two.
2. Hilton Seychelles and Hilton Mauritius
3. Hilton Imperial Dubrovnik and Hilton Vienna Plaza

Let us know whay you decide, and why.
