H HOTEL LOS ANGELES CURIO COLLECTION BY HILTON UPGRADE

First, extremely rare upgrade on a transcon as Platinum Medallion. Saw seat assignment literally change under my eyes from 30G to 4A in the Delta app as I was boarding. That is a rare event for Platinum Medallion elite flyers on this route, notoriously heavy with higher-tier Diamond Medallions and even Delta 360s, the airline’s invitation-only top elite level. I was far more thrilled, speaking of status, to be upgraded from coach to lie-flat Delta One on my flight to LAX from New York-JFK.

If you’d rather pay cash for your stay, rates hover around the $200-$225 mark, and if you aren’t pursuing status with Hilton, a great option is to book paid stays through /venture with the Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card, which earns 10x miles on spend.

If you’re short on Hilton points, you can sign up for the Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card, which is offering 150,000 Hilton Honors points after you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first three months of account opening. According to Hilton’s site, though, you can expect to pay anywhere from 37,000 to 70,000 Honors points per night for an award stay. Given that Hilton doesn’t maintain an award chart, it’s difficult to know how many points you’ll need on a given night unless you’re searching for it directly. The visual experience, the food and beverages and general vibe of the place struck me as a bit blander than the Curio brand statement, possibly because the H shares a building with a decidedly budget-oriented Homewood Suites.īut the views I went to the H Hotel for were spectacular. On a recent visit, the H proved to be not quite in keeping with the Curio brand, launched in 2014 around the idea of boutique, one-of-a-kind hotels like The Renwick in New York.

For people who may not be AvGeeks but need a good place to crash on a long airport layover, the H is also an attractive choice, a reasonably priced member of the Hilton family on the doorstep of a mega-airport. The H boasts a spectacular location very close to the runways at LAX, the stuff of dreams for airplane fanatics. Either way, you may have heard of a recent addition to the ranks of hotels that attract aviation enthusiasts, the H Hotel Los Angeles, Curio Collection by Hilton. Maybe you’re a frequent flyer with an aviation-geek bent, or maybe a full-fledged AvGeek, one of those people who think planespotting is fun and have a spate of flight-tracking apps on their phone.
