Gaylelynn,

If you book BEFORE October 1st you can get Webers Scandic for only 10,000 Hilton Honor points per night (Category 1). It is currently going through a complete renovation (the hotel has been closed for this major renovation and is reopening in a few days, July 15). After Oct. 1st it will be reclassified to a Category 3. 10,000 points per night is a GREAT deal (especially considering that you can apply for a AmEx HH credit card, use it once and get 10,000 points so you end up with a free night's stay) The location couldn't be better, only 100 meters from Tivoli. It has some negative reviews on tripadvisor but these were all before the renovation. This is the website.

We stayed at the other Scandic hotel in Copenhagen - can't remember exact address - a couple of years ago. It was a very modern hotel with large rooms and a wonderful breakfast buffet. It was within walking distance of Tivoli and and the main train station.:)

Is there any way to stay at this hotel without being Hilton Honors?

 

and what is: AmEx HH credit card?

[petlover]

It only takes a second to sign up on line to become a HHonor's member. http://www.hhonors.com

 

Not sure what you mean what is a AmEx HH card? It's a credit card, issued by AmEx that gives Hilton Honor's points for hotel stays or normal day to day purchases. You may be running out of time to get in on the great 10,000 point deal because you'd have to first get the card, then use it, then pay the bill, then wait for the points to post, then get the HH certificate by 10/1/06. You'd have to act quick but can probably do it.

You can pay for your room at either of the Scandic hotels in Copenhagen. You can book online at http://www.hilton.com.:)

thanks for both replies.

 

I figured it was AMEX not sure about HH but Hilton honors makes sense. I have two AMEX cards already, would be nice to get a free night in Copenhagen. I'm assuming the card is for everyday use not just for Hilton.

We received the card on Friday and already used it twice. Now I'm waiting for the bill and hope it comes soon. thanks for the tip.

[estebofarr]

I got the card, made the charge, paid the bill, got the points!

I tried to redeem online and was told couldn't find anything for Copenhagen.

OK!

Now, do I call the Hilton direct to book, or how do I go about redeeming my points? Sorry to be so obtuse, but this is all new to me. Thank you.

This is the message I got when trying to book Scandic:

Is there any other way, short of calling Denmark?
