How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

Another quick question what is the difference between relaxation room & relaxation suite? Do both have spa baths?

I would've guessed that one is bigger than the other, period.

At HOP A suite has a separate bedroom from the main lounge area and a sort of dining table in the lounge area.

Yes, Hilton sydney.

Anyone know whether the relaxation room has a spa bath?

I have had no personal experience of the Sydney hilton, but it doesn't seem that the room has a spa bath according to the difference in explanation on the Hilton webpage:

Suites


Relaxation Room
Feel at home in this spacious 48m²/ 517sq.ft suite with living area. Keep in touch with wireless internet. Re-energize in the fitness center. Unwind in front of the LCD TV or relax on the chaise longue with a magazine.

Relaxation Suite
Indulge yourself in this 54m²/775sq.ft suite with separate relaxation zone featuring natural light from the large windows. Relax on the chaise longue or large armchair with ottoman to watch DVDs on the LCD TV. Unwind with the hydro spa or power shower in your spacious bathroom. Get to work at the desk in the separate working area or catch up with wireless internet access.

Yes, Hilton sydney.

Send them an email. I do this for properties who's room descriptions seem purposely vague. Usually get a reply next day. Did this recently with hilton ADL. Couldn't for the life of me nut out the difference between a Guest Room, A Deluxe Guest room and a Deluxe Guest room Plus, descriptions were almost identical.

Got a fast response from them detailing the difference, which was _really_ good to know, and also a snidy comment about this information being available on the website (umm... nope!).

 

[somebol]

Yep, emailed them and got a response.
Basically the suite has a separate lounge area, where as the "room" has an open plan kind of space with both the bed and lounge. Suite has a square spa bath where as the room has a bath with what looks like hydro jets. And finally 3 TVs in the suite compared to 2 in the room.

The HH relationship manager also offered me the room as a guaranteed upgrade as a HH gold or the suite at a discounted price.

Now to decide what to book for SWMBO's birthday... decisions!!

No idea what I booked as someone else is paying but am in a Yarra suite without keys due to an optus screw up which has been going on all day
I'm glad I checked in at 2 as there is a long queue downstairs now
