I'm not sure I'd bother with the Bentley myself. Tower Bridge, Waldorf, Trafalgar, and Park Lane are all great hotels.

We are you seeing Cat 8? The linked page shows Category 7 right on the front page...

It was updated/corrected in the past 48 hours.

This conpiracy to conceal the evidence proves conclusively that they're plotting a devaluation!

If HH is planning another devaluation with higher reward categories, this only solidifies my stance of leaving after the diamond devaluation.

The Category 8 designation on The Bentley London was a typo, which has been corrected. We have no plans at this time to create a Category 8.

Then you should probably also fix the award chart on the Bentley website -- http://www.thebentley-hotel.com/hilton-hhonors.php -- which lists redemptions at 60K/low and 80K/high. (That doesn't correspond either to cat 7 or to the W-A rate formerly applicable to the Bentley.)

I just checked. The Bentley is now a category 7 (SEVEN) hotel and you can book rooms for 50,000 points.

Thank goodness, the fiasco on the Delta side right now is already driving me mad.

HHonors has undergone and continues a massive devaluation with some resorts designating and offering only "premium rewards" at values far higher than the designation.

Conrad Bali, a category 5 hotel is charging 88000 points for a "PREMIUM ROOM REWARD".

Obviously, the reward chart doesn't mean anything when a property can charge nearly 3x times the published reward rate. The same room can be bought for usd $265.

Actually, it appears they have done the same as Bora Bora and Moorea. That is they are limiting award rooms to only the "Twin" rooms and considering the same room that has a King bed as a premium room.

How many people want to go to a resort and have twin beds?
