re the potential Hilton deal, I have 2 points:
Post# of 82672
1. I agree with Gold49 that the Martinique Hotel is a test site for the chain.
2. and something I haven't noticed get mentioned much on this site -- that in this last interview Mark said, as an aside, that the hotel test was going really well. I took this to mean that guests were actually buying the deal in good numbers. If so, the Hilton chain will be rolling it out -- likely first in the high end, business class brands first.
Our day is coming, even if only at turtle speed.
