How to Use Hotel Points for Free Stays This Summer - AFAR
"Housed in a former hôtel particulier founded in 1907 by American magnate John Jacob Astor IV (who perished on the Titanic in 1912), this seven-story, 131-room boutique property blends historic character with clever design touches—screen prints inspired by Astor’s A Journey in Other Worlds, a themed library honoring his dog Kitty, and a living-room–style lobby dressed in rich reds and golds. Introductory-level guest rooms are compact (under 200 square feet) but well furnished; Hilton Honors Gold members can receive space-available complimentary upgrades and daily free breakfast. Bookable from about 90,000 Hilton Honors points per night, it is commonly reached via Hilton cobranded-card sign-up bonuses or Amex Membership Rewards transfers, and can benefit from point-pooling and Hilton’s fifth-night-free award when paying with points." - Paul Rubio
