GDS - has been described above. The benefit now is that the preferred partner agencies can book the preferred rates on the "GDS" bookings and the rate information will confirm what you are due to receive as you would any hotel booking that has extras as part of the rate. Bit more difficult for the hotel to "miss" the amenities.

That promo from the MO in GVA looks real good especially with the new UA route from IAD. That could be a fun weekend trip. Also GVA is one of the most expensive cities in Europe along with Moscow.

I am not surprised that the RC Condos are having trouble selling. I was in MIA early this year for the Ravens Playoff game and all of the new condo buildings in Downtown on the bay were 25% full and having trouble selling. This includes the FS. Now is really the time to buy if the price is right and if someone has the funds to do so.

how high do the virtuoso guaranteed upgrades go? is this standard for 2009, or a promo?
can you get a guaranteed upgrade on Suite Temptations (4th nt free) ?
- exec suite $1295 > $971
- central park suite $1495 > $1121
- premier central park suite $1695 > $1271
(base rate > after discount)
regular base room rates run $600 > $900
i cant get Extra Fun-Day Away (3rd nt free) to pull up online. what are the rates? from $900 ($600 after discount) seems too high, but maybe confirmed upgrade makes it worth it?

p.p.s Damn Raffles for choosing his username and making it hard to search for Raffles Hotel posts!

It isn't clear if the offer can be combined - but I guess you would ask at the time of booking as the promo includes virtuoso amenities
