Best Location To Redeem 4 Le Meridien Nights by end of March 09?
I have yet to redeem my 4 free LM nights which expires 31st March 2009.
1) Bora Bora seems to be the obvious choice for many but the hassle (and cost) of getting there puts me off.
2) Hotel Eden Rome seems nice but I have already done most of the main sights in Rome not too long ago.
3) Le Meridien Picaddily doesnt get good reviews and I have already spent too much time in London (in the past).
Suggestions for other "good value" redemption would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Can you at least narrow down your choice by continent? I and, probably, many of us) could give some great recommendations on most continents!

The best LM for redemption left the LM chain recently. The Hotel Des Indes is now in the Luxury Collection. It's great for the hotel and well deserved, but now I too don't know where to use my free LM nights.

I like Le Royal Meridien in Hamburg very much.

Someone reported success redeeming at the Parker Meridien in New York.
Folks like Le Meridien San Francisco. However, it is often available under $150, so is not the savings that some are.

There's a brand new Le Meridien opening (if it hasn't already opened) in Bangkok. The Thais are really hurting for tourists right now after the airport unpleasantness. Depending what you want to do the hotel is in a decent location on Th. Suriwong. A short-ish walk to the SkyTrain. Lots of taxis all the time.

New York is usually very expensive, although there are some pretty good deals right now, so the value of the 4 LEM nights can be very good.
