It is one stop from S8 or S9 S-Bahn. Whole trip is under cover, once you get off at Gateway Gardens station, Hyatt Place is the first hotel.
Transfer UR pts to Hyatt at 1 to 1, this Hyatt Place is still Category 1, 5000 to 6500 pts a night. I believe it does not go up on the March 28 adjustment. (Hyatt Place AMS goes from Cat 1 to Cat 2). Cash rate is 150 euro or up. The most valuable transfer of UR pt is to Hyatt and Air Canada's Aeroplan, followed by United's Mileage Plus.
I gather you are Hyatt's World of Hyatt member? They have free breakfast for the members but charge $ for nonmembers. I believe this is a policy Hyatt put in place a year before Covid.
I just booked one night for our May return flights AMS-FRA-EWR overnight layover at this hotel.
In London it depends on how many days and what you want to do or just passing by - Renaissance LHR is very good, the bus between T5 and city has a stop very close to the hotel on both directions, 1.62 GBP per trip, much cheaper than the Hopper bus and much more frequent schedule. At T5 the bus depot is immediately outside arrival hall on the ground level. Easy Peasy to find.
If you are going in town for a few days, I highly recommend IHG's Staybridge at Vauxhall on the South Bank within a 7 min easy walk thru community garden from Vauxhall station (both train and metro) Vauxhall is the end station of Victoria line. Easy walk from the embankment to Westminster bridge.
London transportation now can be paid with your contactless credit card on each trip - tap on and tap off, with a daily cap that the system will calculate at 4am the next morning and only charge you the LESS of actual usage or the daily cap on Oyster card. No more need to buy Oyster card. You need to use the same card for one person thru out the day in order for it to track properly. Each persob uses his / her own CC for this purpose.
London China town has some really good eats. It is very clean these days.
你们若是进出航班合适,根据你以前对Leukerbad的好评,建议一个泡温泉的地方:Resort Bad Ragaz。机场租车开到那里单程一个半小时,全是高速公路。那里是个温泉酒店,名不惊人,可价钱不低,房间起价500,上不封顶,只包早餐。酒店里就有三个Michelin星级饭店,最好事先订座位。酒店以温泉和理疗见长,那可是真正的温泉,可以参观不远处的泉眼洞,水管直接拉到酒店。边上是个很大的公共温泉,酒店客人可免费去,可是酒店有自己的温泉和泳池,高档房间有自己的温泉浴缸。
1,苏黎世住两晚Marriott,以前住过。瑞士大部分地方都去过了,只留一个完整白天想往东走走,有什么可推荐的地方?
2,Strasburg 住三到四晚sofitel,不知道地点如何,或者Hilton可能有点偏,但有half-board。行程重点,会去Colmar, 周边还有什么地方?
3,法兰克福机场住三晚,进出方便,是不是好选择?有两个完整白天,计划一天去Rothenberg。法兰克福去过两次,周边的heidelberg,wurzburg去过,周边还有什么可推荐的景点?
不喜欢经常换酒店,每换一次酒店要损失一个完整白天,所以在一个地方住下为大本营,有车宁可多跑点路,再晚回来也没关系。
四月底离开去伦敦接下一个行程,谢谢大家。
1. 往东:St。Gallen (圣加仑)有一个大教堂,它的图书馆还是小有名气,也很漂亮。值此而已。
它的南面是阿盆采尔(Appenzell),也是很有特色的州,丘陵地势,传统人文,Appenzell镇是其代表。
东南角有达沃斯(Davos),名气够大的了吧,离苏黎世一个半小时车程。
再远一点儿有圣莫里茨(St。Moritz),是最有名的土豪聚集地,当然绝不可能是穷乡僻壤。
往北:半小时车程,是莱茵瀑布(Rheinfall),不敢跟美洲大瀑布比,也比不了壶口黄果树,欧洲大陆它最急,水最多。
再往东北开一刻钟,小镇莱茵石头(Stein am Rhein)很漂亮,雕梁画栋,神仙住的地方。
2. 不远处德国有 Baden-Baden,那里有赌场,有温泉。
3. 除了 Rothenburg ob der Tauber, 再东边一点儿是 Nürnberg, 稍北一点儿是 Bamberg,两处都各具特色。
再想不出别的了。
1 苏黎世,你们可以找简妮真人打高尔夫球了,呵呵。我能想到的是 St. Gallen, 莱茵瀑布,博登湖也可以,不过好看的地方不在瑞士这一边。瑞士的同学可能能提出更好的建议。我偏题一下,说到博登湖,德国境内有个 Insel Mainau 是个小岛,春天开花特别漂亮。你们这次不顺路。
2 传统的打来打去的阿尔萨斯地区,法界内的我知道就这两个地方,德界内的Freiburg, Baden-Baden (去年因为浴场系列成为世遗之一)不是最精湛的地方,但都过得去
3 法兰克福,因为你们要去罗腾堡,我想不远的Bamberg 也是世遗,七丘之城
还有在斯特拉斯堡和法兰克福之间,您说海德堡之类都玩了,我和顾剑一直看重的Speyer 可以看看,您又是懂历史的人
Speyer ~ 那座莱茵河边的古城 - 博客 | 文学城 (wenxuecity.com)
还有一个建议就是往西走,法兰克福,美因河,莱茵河,沿着河到德意志角的Koblenz
莱茵,摩泽尔河相聚~德意志角 - 安娜晴天发表于 世界风情 - 论坛 | 文学城 (wenxuecity.com)
目前就想到这里。
下次你要发帖最好先问俺一下。要么建议版主增加坛上用户状态显示,这样,俺一看你在,掉头喝茶去了。另外,下两周,保证不上网,你就放心贴吧!:-)
你们出去玩吧,玩得开心呦。等你们回来,我也失踪一段时间,绝对 不上网 :-)
结果大雾,开的心惊胆颤,第二天早上看景色並没有那么惊艳。有车的话换酒店最方便了,开回头路多浪费时间

念不忘。
Strasburg 是法国最美的中型城市之一,住三晚是值得的,至于 Colmar 这个已成为网红的小镇去看看也无妨,不过Alsace地区漂亮的小镇太多了,你们这次又是自驾,不夸张的说,就闭着眼把车开到葡萄园酒庄一带都会遇上众多漂亮的坐落在葡萄园邱林中的小村镇,那一地区连法国本土人都认为非常美,出了不少在法国上榜的全国最美的小村镇,在那边品酒也是必须的,特别是不能错过那里闻名遐迩的白葡萄酒雷司令!另外,喜欢户外的话,孚日山脉也是好去处 “Vosges (Massif des Vosges)”,这个山脉的风格跟阿尔卑斯和比利牛斯山脉是完全不同的,古堡、酒庄星罗棋布,青山绿水非常秀美,例如 Ballon d'Alsace 就很美。
另外,在法国这样的美食国度就不建议订酒店的half-board了,外面各种好吃又有特色的餐厅都吃不过来,还天天回酒店去吃同一家餐厅真不值得。
去苏黎世,你说要住Marriott,它在市区,主火车站(HB)对面河边上,你还要从机场租车,这有点儿顶牛了:机场到HB有直通火车,10分钟车程,每十分钟一班车,十块钱不到,出租车怎么也要你五,六十,Uber会便宜些;Marriott 酒店停车一晚要三,五十的可能性很高。你若不去市区,干嘛住那里呢?
你们若是进出航班合适,根据你以前对Leukerbad的好评,建议一个泡温泉的地方:Resort Bad Ragaz。机场租车开到那里单程一个半小时,全是高速公路。那里是个温泉酒店,名不惊人,可价钱不低,房间起价500,上不封顶,只包早餐。酒店里就有三个Michelin星级饭店,最好事先订座位。酒店以温泉和理疗见长,那可是真正的温泉,可以参观不远处的泉眼洞,水管直接拉到酒店。边上是个很大的公共温泉,酒店客人可免费去,可是酒店有自己的温泉和泳池,高档房间有自己的温泉浴缸。
那里停车也要每天20大洋。俺好事儿,多问了一句,房钱都不眨眼地要,停车还要额外?答:公平而已,这样可以平息不开车客人的不满,另外还可以促进环保乘公共交通。说得你哑口无言,乖乖掏银子。
实际上它附近没什么景点,最近的开车半小时有个Caumasee,以淡蓝色湖水出名。夏天人多,当地人圈起来卖票,从来没见过瑞士其它公共的湖边收费,估计有国人高手出招。
注:几乎所有瑞士景点都需要自带运气,天好,满足感十足;您运气不佳,对不起,景色打九五折。

我本人不提倡最美小镇系列,但既然到了,可以顺路看看,
比如您从大城斯特拉斯堡开往小水镇科尔马的一路,有不少所谓的最美小镇,可以参考一下。
有一些甚至列入世遗
一路顺路开,不专门浪费时间
Strassburg -Obernai-Barr-Mittelbergheim-Selestat-Hunawihr- Riquewihr-Eguisheim
这些都是阿尔萨斯地区,法德多年打来打去的地方。有些地方还沿用原来的德国地名比如
Obernai也叫 Oberehnheim (上村儿)
Barr
Mittelbergheim (中山村儿)
Selestat -> Hunawihr 华纳池塘->Riquewihr 李逵池塘, 在科尔马的北边,你们从北边过来正好顺风
Eguisheim 就在科尔马的南边,开车10分钟就到了
这些村儿入围法国最美小镇系列,您可以和太座商量,看看天气和心情,选择哪个小镇,在那里停车走几步,喝点就吃饭,喝咖啡休息一下很不错的。
看我上班前,专门抢时间给您留言,求表扬
斯堡中心是个岛,靠十几条桥梁与外界连接,Sofitel 在市中心,开车进出有点小小的麻烦,酒店环境很好,安静。Hilton 其实也不偏,门口二 三十米外就有电车直通市中心。这两酒店都很好。还有另外一个四星靠市区较近," Régent Contades " ,非常漂亮的帝国时期建筑,位于Neustadt 区,该区是斯堡第二个被UNESCO 圈进去的,斯堡人很怀念帝国时期留下的遗产,还是用帝国时期的名称,不过这个旅馆我没吃过他的饭,不敢保证质量:)。要讲有特点有历史的四星旅馆那就是 Les Haras ,靠老市区,曾经路易十五的养马场,十几年前市政府免费借给IRCAD 掌门人Jacques Marescaux 教授开发成旅馆 饭馆 咖啡馆,用于接待来自世界各地到IRCAD 培训的外科大神,同时也对普通旅客开放。他的饭馆非常不错,当地名流有事没事喜欢到那"聚餐"。阳光灿烂的日子坐在大院里喝咖啡感觉不错。
葡萄酒之路还是应该走,那些小村庄不比Colmar 差甚至我觉得更漂亮,美食美酒甚至四 五星 SPA 旅馆都有,挑两 三个看看,像安娜介绍的 Obernai Ribeauville Riquewihr, Kaysersberg , Eguisheim ...都很漂亮。Mulhouse 还有一个很大的汽车博物馆,不过那有点远啦,如果你们对汽车感兴趣,要预留一天时间。
吃完饭给开回饭馆门口,给门童几个小费就是了。
