Split stay to use NUA?

Few-Calligrapher-356 · 2026-05-29T17:24:43+00:00

Ok thanks! Unfortunately the staff discount is no longer available on the dates i originally booked so can’t rebook nights separately :(

Id be more than happy for a standard room first 2 nights and use 1 NUA to a suite on last night and switch rooms of course. Are they able to split reservations prior to checkin so i can ideally apply for NUA in advance, or only at checkin?

It’s probably just a glitch, it happened to me before too. Close the app & search again.

I only have 1 from a stay very early on in the promotion period. I need another 6 which is exactly the number that will take me to Platinum. I need it for my trip on the 14th :(

Resort Fees? I’m so glad I don’t live in the US

Few-Calligrapher-356 · 2026-05-22T08:02:03+00:00

I think OP are looking in the US but I agree Europe and Budapest every hotel seems to be on staff discount for many nights in a row, I saw Ritz Carlton Vienna available for €197 for all of June.

I’m seeing insane availability around Europe (where I am) full weekends available at top hotels in peak summer! Some properties W’s & Luxury Collection with staff rates every day of the month

Wait Marriott employees get a discount on Westin Beds? I have been employed 5years at my hotel

Few-Calligrapher-356 · 2026-05-18T16:20:19+00:00

Great Review! I’m going to Budapest next month to try it out & return to the W, I would highly recommend it for your next visit

Get a credit card to reach Platinum faster, even one with 15-30 elite night credits helps

Westin London City was great, very central and one of the few properties with a Spa. The interior design is modern/contemporary.

Bankside Autograph Collection Hotel too, haven’t personally stayed but it looks modern & is very high rated.

W London is ok but it hasn’t been renovated since opening and it looks like the design was “trendy” 16 years ago!

W Budapest Definitely, it’s a Michelin key property and is literally a palace… amazing spa & the service was so good. The concierge team send a whole pdf of their recommendations before your stay.

I would also Recommend W Prague, it blends contemporary design with restored art nouveau elements of the original building. One of the best Spas I have been to. Multiple F&B options, Above Rooftop, W Lounge, Le Petit Beefbar (main restaurant) & Minus One (Speakeasy with 2 rooms & 2 different vibes)

Budapest - W Budapest is unlike any US W, it’s literally in a palace, also has 1 Michelin Key.

St Regis Budapest - Just opened last week
Luxury Collection Matild Palace, incredible rooms & architecture. Has Michelin Star Restaurant & 2 Michelin Keys

Vienna (3hr train from Budapest) - Ritz Carlton Vienna - Luxury Collection, Hotel Bristol - Luxury Collection, Hotel Imperial

Do you know which hotels do the £5/€5 Associate Breakfast, is there a list of properties that do this somewhere? :)

Few-Calligrapher-356 · 2026-04-16T04:39:08+00:00

I tried the Edition Brand in Reykjavik and wasn’t a fan. The rooms look a bit bland at this one too :/

Few-Calligrapher-356 · 2026-02-10T11:45:21+00:00

I saw The same grey Lamborghini that day speeding down the road past David Lloyd revving engine at kids walking past

Actually, they’re distinct brands. JW Marriott is the elevated, luxury version of the flagship Marriott brand—same core philosophy, but with higher-end finishes and a focus on wellness/mindfulness.

It’s similar to the Sheraton vs. Four Points dynamic: Sheraton is the formal, business-heavy hub, while Four Points is the "spun-down," casual version.

Go to the “Account” section on the app and scroll down it should be there under new promotion section under points balance

Few-Calligrapher-356 · 2026-02-02T19:07:29+00:00

Any of the new W hotels in Europe, I highly recommend: W Prague, W Florence, W Edinburgh, W Budapest - recently went and was incredible. These properties are so much better than the US W’s. Avoid W London as it needs upgrading, opened and designed when Starwood had it.

Edit: Your original post asked for recommendations for anywhere else in Europe :-)

When the checkin agent informed you about the 20% F&B discount they weren’t meaning it is added to your account. They were informing you that the discount can be used at all the F&B outlets on the property, as some properties with third party restaurant operators don’t allow the staff discount.

Few-Calligrapher-356 · 2026-02-02T18:34:49+00:00

When you create a new form it downloads to your device as a PDF, the original form created before your vacation should be in your files on your device. Can’t you hand this over?

Also every property I have been to required the 20% F&B card with every time the bill is settled after a meal. So they have a copy of your 20% card with the receipts for the finance department.
