Australia Hotels - useful tip
Posted: 20 May 2006, 22:44I remember this being mentioned a few weeks ago, that is the early VS flight arrival into Sydney and hotels not allowing check-in until the afternoon.
Well in sorting all my Australia hotels out, I've come across Stamford Hotels. They offer a package at all their hotels called a jet lag recovery package and one of the perks is an early (6am) check in (although subject to availability) along with a few other perks.
I've booked the SYD Stamford Plaza for my first night in SYD as I have an early flight to MEL the following day and dont fancy having to get up at 5am the next morning to make my way back to SYD. They do have other properties in the downtown Sydney area as well. I've also booked the Stamford Plaza in Melbourne (which I'd forgotton about, but I have stayed at before, back in 2000 - a very nice all-suite hotel in a good location)
The room rates are pretty reasonable as well. Sadly no VS miles but they are partners to other airline FF programs (AA and Qantas to name a few)
I will let you know if the early check-in works or not.
Regards
