If a stuffed animal is an indicator of how a stay is going to progress then maybe Conrad should change it's business model and become Toys R Us.

Aside all that, I think from an ecologic perspective Hilton should really think about it is worth it to have hundreds of thousands of stuffed animals produced (in China?) and abandon them in line with their other efforts such as reducing amenity waste. I like my Conrad Tokyo / Seoul bears but thinking about the scale of these items it makes me shiver.

You can always decline one of their stuffed animals. Personally, I'm keeping a silk elephant I just received from the Conrad Bangkok - an addition to my herd.

If you leave your bear behind, it doesn't go in the trash. So the choice is entirely yours...

On the list of things damaging to the planet, stuffed animals are at the very bottom of the list, behind almost everything else you do to travel to and stay at the hotel in question.

No, I got it for free. You had to pay $34? I'm shocked. As HH Diamond I've never had to pay for one. Kind of surprising. Where did you buy it, the gift shop near the lobby? Mine was in my room.

It definitely is. Just been there. Booked it as Conrad and visited as Hilton. Asked for the bear - they were super nice, but had none anylonger. :-(

It wasn't in our room. I asked for it and the front desk sent me to the gift shop next to the lobby.

With 140 nights in 2020, I am also Diamond. ;-) Probably they found out, that they can make more money by selling it...

I don't believe Conrad SLP ever had any bears. Mine were custom-made and personalized with my name.

There were some pictures in here - and 4 days ago, they seemed to know what I was talking about and really tried to find the last ones, but they were all gone already unfortunately.

I tried to search earlier, but couldn’t find one
Any word on Indy or New York? I should be hitting them both in the fall and am hoping to bring these cute mementos to my goddaughter (she’s just now getting old enough at 4 that she likes to “show off” to her friends about the “cool places” she has toys from)

Are you staying at Conrad NY Downtown or Conrad NY Midtown? Conrad Downtown still has "Hudson the Bull". I requested through the pre stay email I received from guest services .

I'm curious if Conrad Midtown has anything now.
