St. Regis London (Lanesborough) for 35GBP a night!
 
I found a 35 pound per night rate at the Lanesborough London (St. Regis). It was on Orbitz (though not one of their special rates). I booked it and then logged on to the website, entered by name and CC # and the res. came up. Every screen including confirmation and rate details confirmed the same, including the free breakfast and airport transfers. I even changed my phone number and flight arrival details and uploaded them and everything worked fine. Anybody else ever check-in with a low rate and did you run into any trouble? I could understand if Orbitz screwed up they would say "no go" but with it printed clearly on Starwood letterhead, I'm having a hard time believing they can legally deny it.

it seems to me that you are confirmed and they will have to honor it. just print EVERYTHING out.
im trying to book that rate now for myself, can u tell me what days it was available?

thnx

I'm getting 415 Pounds for the nights I will be in London.

I tried to re-book same dates and different dates and couldn't get it. Jul 14th for 4 nights was what I got though. Best of luck - let me know if you get it.

The plot gets better
 
So I went to do the Best Rate Guarantee. So when I went to starwood.com find the rate that they were quoting for the same rate (Summer Rates: airport transfers, continental breakfast and champagne) I found the 35 GBP online. I booked it for one day longer and got a Starwood confirmation. Haven't cancelled the original orbitz one yet but I guess I will in a couple of days. Went back to try and do it again and it was gone. Seems like the computer error is happening in spurts. Best of luck.

Anybody though who has gotten something like this before, please report on your experience.

Not sure at all, and my sincere apologies for thread jacking but I created a new thread for this since it really deserves it! Again, apologies, but I'm sure the thread I created will gain greater attention amongst our FT brethren. My hope is they will honor this. Heck, I've even booked my flights!

Darn! This must be fixed. Anyone know of any dates that might work? The summer rates is coming up at 350GBP. Someone must have missed a zero!

It's gone in and out several times today. I have reservations 7/13-7/18 and 7/14-7/18. Vivrant was able to get two 7/14-7/19. I know the rate has a minimum 3 nights but I haven't been able to get any other 3 night combos.

Can't seem to find it either....checked on Orbitz and SPG. Tried a few date combinations. Am I missing something? Any dates/sites working for this great rate?

bworrell Apr 12, 2005 10:21 pm

I really think this must be gone, but I would be happy to be proven otherwise. With all the date combinations I try I can get the 1 King 'Summer Rates' room to come up, but it's showing at 350GBP instead. It's too coincidental that the ones that were able to get this rate were just missing the '0'. Someone must have typo'd the rate.
