at9 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Not really relevant to the rest of this thread but you might like to know that the hotel is right on the corner of Drummond Street. This is a street with several Indian veggie restaurants. Some people like the Diwana, I prefer the Ravi Shankar. All of them offer good food and good value. Try a thali or a dosa. At the other end of Drummond Street, until recently when they closed down, was Lawrence Corner. This was a sort of military surplus shop that specialised in the whackier end of the clothing and was frequented by young fashionable types in search of something a bit different. The shop now looks very sad and unloved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iloveboots Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 We have a few people we are aware of who are looking for room mates at the Thistle Euston in London for the heel meet. If you need a room mate please let us know so we can match folks up and save you some money. If you are travelling as a single and want a room mate the best bet is to book your room using the instructions here on this thread, there is no deposit taken, and then let us know you need a room mate.

Don't delay, book now and make sure you have a room at a good rate. It does not cost anything to book just a credit card guarantee that can always be cancelled without penalty should things not work out for making it to the meet. cathy & david "Dress For Your Own Pleasure" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iloveboots Posted December 15, 2007 Author Share Posted December 15, 2007 Last day to book your hotel room at the special group rate is today (Dec 15th). Don't delay, hold a rsvn if you are thinking of attending the Meet.... details on how to book at the start of this thread. cathy & david "Dress For Your Own Pleasure" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Shoe Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 That's it! bookings are closed for the special group rate. However, as David said above if you're travelling alone then we might be able to find a room mate who has already booked. Failing that I have an idea that might help so if you can't get a roomy, PM me. Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.

iloveboots Posted December 25, 2007 Author Share Posted December 25, 2007 VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE : 3rd Annual World Heel Meet Hotel Information The contract for the Thistle Euston Hotel included a minimum number of room guarantee to secure the 98UKL rates negotiated. Failure to meet this room number has resulted in the hotel increasing the negotiated rate of 98UKL to their regular room rate of 210UKL per night! Please be aware that if you have made a reservation at the hotel this is what you will be looking at as a rate. The hotel many of us stayed at in March of this year for the 2nd Annual meet is the Astor Court Hotel located at Oxford & Bond Streets. This location is very convenient to shopping on Oxford; the Tube station at Oxford & Regent; Soho is in easy walking distance in heels; and the rooms are adequate. The rate at the Astor Court Hotel is approximately 105 to 115 UKL per night and this includes breakfast. This can be booked at http://www.astorcourthotel.co.uk However, Admirer5577 was able to locate a "pay in advance" booking rate of 76UKL at the site http://www.hotelsclick.com These are not group rates and there are no special booking instructions. If you are changing hotel reservations from the Thistle Euston we would recommend that you cancel directly with the Thistle Euston through Lea. We also have a few members still searching for possible room mates to share accommodation with and reduce cost, PM me if you're in this boat and we'll connect you up. We are sorry for any confusion or inconvenience this change has brought about. We all look forward to seeing you in February at the Meet! And now we're going to be closer to all that good shopping on Oxford Street....yikes, hide the credit card!!

Pumps Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I'm a bit confused about the rates. I booked 4 days for £436 without the discount code. That's £109 each night. Where does the £210 rate come from ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iloveboots Posted December 29, 2007 Author Share Posted December 29, 2007 Hi Pumps, This is the rate Lea at the hotel sent in an email on the 19th as the rate all our reservations were going to as a result of not reaching the group rate minimum. 210UKL is double rate for room with 2 people. david & cathy I'm a bit confused about the rates. I booked 4 days for £436 without the discount code. That's £109 each night. Where does the £210 rate come from ?

Guest Loveshiheels Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Good news! heeluis and Loveshiheels will be rooming together on Friday and Saturday nights at the City Inn Westminster. Look out London! Looks like Kneehighs beat me to it. Yes I and Heeluis will be staying at the City Inn Westminster. Heeluis will be there By 9.30 pm and me any time before 8pm depending if I,m working that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumps Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 ^ That's great. I was able to book a cheaper rate at the City Inn Westminster than originally planned. Now for the five nights that I am staying there with Pumps, we will pay $1072.50, including all applicable taxes and daily breakfasts.. 5 nights ? I'm arriving on Wednesday and going home on Sunday. I believe that's 4 nights. Are you going home monday ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xaphod Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I tried to get the same rate in the CIty Inn for Calv and myself yesterday, but the best available for the nights of 15th and 16th was £153 per room per night. We now have booked for £93 per night at the Novotel, Euston Rd (where Kneehighs and Heeluis booked for the same event last year). As I understand, this used to be the Ibis, but has since changed. This hotel mullarkey can be a real pain in the a..se trying to negotiate the minefield of wildly varying quotes for exactly the same room. For those of you coming from abroad, check that the prices you are quoted include all taxes, especially the universally-hated additional 17.5% Eurobollocks tax (aka VAT).

iloveboots Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 Glad you were able to locate a hotel that works. Yes, could not agree with you more, the "hotel muck" is not an easy minefield to negotiate through.
