Some Oz Hilton Lounge[s] will be closed over Christmas/NewYear

[moa999]

So by lack of mention, are Hilton Melbourne South Wharf and Hilton Sydney open??

Update: Hilton Brisbane QLD, Australia:

Prior experiences with this property and lounge closure has seen them set up a temporary lounge near their main restaurant.

They are using the bar this year, basically you get a lounge pass which is shown to the bar person for gratis drinks 6-8PM and all day refreshments, with breakfast in the restaurant.

Sounds similar to when I was at the Hilton Sorrento Palace a month ago.

On another note, there's a Hilton in London that's closed completely for a week. Doh, had to book into the Hampton by Hilton.

Trust us, we really are doing some work......

A few minutes too late, and then no free drinks (at the Hilton Brisbane)...

I'm wondering if they'll close the HOTP lounge for Christmas-New Year 2013 as they did last year. They probably don't even know themselves yet. The hotel will almost certainly be full because the Poms play the hapless Aussies across the road in the 4th Test Dec 26-30, the reason we are going down. Ah, the life of a cricket tragic. I've also got a back-up booking at HSW where I think the lounge stayed open last Christmas. I guess upgrades will be as rare as hens' teeth at HOTP during that period.

HOTP has been closed last couple of years when I visited over Xmas, I think HSW had one night when it was closed, a function was held in it, might have been NYE but it stayed open the rest of the time, I had a first week Jan trip last year and stayed at HSW because HOTP was closed.

Has anyone been to HOTP lately and heard when they will close the EL again this year for "maintenance" around Christmas/ New Year?

I'm looking at 2-3 nights but may switch to HSW as I've been bitten previously.

Bumping this thread from last year, for the information of anyone planning to stay at HOTP in late December this year (2014).

In response to an enquiry that I made with HOTP about the Executive Lounge opening/closing over this coming Christmas period, I received the following response:

" ...... Thank you for your email, the Executive Lounge will be open during the Christmas period. The lounge willoperate with the public holiday times from 7.30am to 9pm .... ".

Thanks for that. I am there on the 26th December.
