I took advantage of the Hilton points bonus. Bought 100k{500 dollars} to top off the 50k I have. It was enough to book a 5 star Hilton in Old Town Prague. The cash cost would have been 1k for the three nights. This hotel has an executive lounge which is a nice perk with my Aspire. When I get my Hilton Biz I'll use the SUB for my other plans. I worked out the math and I came ahead doing this. I also decided I didn't want to get a Marriott Card just for Prague. There are better Chase cards I can get and I prefer Hyatt and Hilton over Marriott.
There are no Hyatts in Prague in case your wondering.
DD, DM and I were there in June/July this year and it was very nice. The Executive Lounge had a good breakfast although the evening snacks weren't really to our taste, many seemed to enjoy them as well. It is in a GREAT location (the Prague Marriott is across the street for any Bonvoy fans remaining out there)-in Old Town, a block from a mall, and easy walk to lots of locations (although we took the tram to the Castle), including the Jewish Quarter and its amazing shopping for anyone who enjoys high end luxury items. This is one hotel to which I would definitely return, although there are also several boutique hotels in Prague I'd like to explore as well. Someday...
