That doesn’t mean anyone is selling it. It’s called “dropping the [Hilton] flag.” The vast majority of hotels are not owned by the superchains. Rather, they are independently owned and/or operated by families or hotel groups you’ve never heard of, which can choose to affiliate with (or contract to be operated by) a superchain… or not. This happened in recent history with the St. Regis Dana Point and the St. Regis Princeville. All that said, the sale of a property might be accompanied by a flag drop.

Be prepared to be nickle and dimed for everything there. If you want to save the $45/day parking charge, there is some free street parking on a small sidestreet across the street on Seacrest Pkwy by the Bank of America. The hotel also seems to go through flags. It used to be a Starwood property. It’s also a large convention hotel so I wouldn’t say it’s my favorite.

Yeah I wonder what it will become. Hope it keeps some major chain brand. Maybe it’ll be a hyatt this time around.

I called them and they confirmed that the property is being sold and will operate under a new badge effective March 23. He said the new owner has the option of either keeping or purging all reservations after that date. Annoying. And his guess is that it will be a Marriott.

Hello,
I am in my late 20s currently in a career transition from teaching to consultancy. I am interested in consultancy jobs within the international development industry that would also allow me to travel. However, I do not have any relevant experience. I speak French and have a background in business and Political Science.
Any advice on how to break into the field with no experience?
Thanks in advance!

My American citizen 8 month old is on tourist visa in India; current stay runs out on June 7. Flying outside the country is a risk we don’t want to take w/COVID. Don’t want to overstay the visa either. So we applied online on eFRRO to convert his visa to X-1 so we can apply for his OCI. They didn’t ask for payment and message popped up saying watch your text/email for next steps. Anything else I can do?

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected.

This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled
