I just found dates on Travelocity, though spotty availability. For example, May 8-13 was available, but not the 2 following weekends.

Agreed it looks like it is going away...

I had a four-day stay all set up on Travelocity
but it choked at the final payment screen

Sweet deal ^ .

I was able to book several nights for February and August 2007. Thank you to the OP for bringing this deal to our attention.

I was hoping to squeeze in some night in their locations in Chicago and Singapore but I was unable to pull any comparable rates as The Howard .

In any case, many thanks again to OP and looking forward to my stay in London.

I booked one weekend via Travelocity and a second weekend direct with swissotel. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Anyway, the rate seems to have disappeared from both travelocity and the swissotel website. At least the dates that I saw that used to be 45 GBP on the swissotel site are now coming up as 245 GBP ...

Funny, I did exactly the same thing with the same motivation behind it...;-)!

Apparently so and apparently since before last spring when the rest of the east coast switched from EST to EDT ...

The 45 GBP rate disappeared a couple of hours ago as well.

Looks like I might have overslept? Or is availability just tight and I need to keep looking? And if I book a room night in 2008, will Nicolo let me change the dates so I can go to Wimbledon, too?

OK, the deal is gone....

we should already be well into Stage 2:
"discussion of whether it will be honored".

a strange silence.

I overslept. Lets SUE because they:

1. Corrected it before I woke up and before I was able to put in multiple bookings for months at a time.
2. Not honoring my stays with rewards points.
3. Not offering me a room upgrade.
4. Not giving me access to the executive lounge.

Don't these people realize who I think I am.

Well I have received an email quoting the 45GBP rate for only part of my stay . Just sent an email to ask them what happened to the rest of my booking . Will let u know what develops.
