What is the cancellation deadline at Conrad New York Downtown?

There isn't one universal deadline, Hilton lets each hotel and each rate set its own. The general reference point in Hilton Honors terms is **48 hours before arrival**, but Semi-Flex rates often need about 4 days and event dates can be stricter. Your exact cutoff (for example "cancel by 11:59pm two days before arrival", in local hotel time) is printed in the rate details and your confirmation email. Diary it, that timestamp is what any refund argument turns on.

Is there a cancellation fee if I cancel late?

Yes. On flexible rates, cancelling after the cutoff or not showing up typically costs **one night's room rate plus tax**. Hilton Honors terms set that as the default charge where a property hasn't specified its own no-show fee. Advance Purchase rates are worse: the whole prepaid stay is forfeited. If you were charged despite cancelling in time, send the cancellation number and timestamp to the hotel in writing before you dispute with your card issuer.

Can I get a refund on a non-refundable Hilton booking?

Not automatically. Advance Purchase terms state that if you cancel, try to modify, or don't arrive, the payment is non-refundable. The documented route is to have the prepayment applied to a different Hilton stay through the **Advance Purchase Department (800-236-7113)** for a **$25, $50** service fee, with reports of that fee being waived for top-tier Honors members. Genuine hardship, illness, bereavement, a cancelled flight, is worth putting in writing to the hotel with evidence; goodwill exceptions do get made.

How long does a Hilton refund take?

Budget for weeks, not days. Hilton has told guests a refund of an advance payment or deposit can take **up to four weeks**, and during high-cancellation periods it has quoted up to 14 days just to process the request. Goodwill settlements handled by Hilton Guest Assistance can be paid as a mailed corporate check with up to 30 days for processing and delivery. Ask for a written refund reference at the point of cancellation, then chase against that date.

I cancelled but was still charged, what do I do?

Reply in writing the same day. Email the property at **conradconcierge_newyorkdowntown@ConradHotels.com** (or **conradnewyork.reservations@conradhotels.com**) with the subject "Cancellation + refund request, confirmation #", quoting your confirmation number, cancellation number and the timestamp of the cancellation email. If nothing moves in 7 days, escalate to Hilton's guest correspondence team at **guest.correspondence@hilton.com** or call **1-800-445-8667**. Keep every reply, BBB records show duplicate-charge cases only resolving once corporate got the paper trail.

Can I cancel a hotel booking made through Booking.com or Expedia directly with the hotel?

No. Booking.com's listing for this property spells out that cancellation and prepayment policies vary by accommodation type and are shown with the rate you selected, those are the agency's terms. Because the agency took the payment, the hotel generally can't refund it and will send you back to the booking site. Cancel inside the agency's flow, save the confirmation, and only involve the hotel if the agency claims the property refused authorisation, then get that refusal in writing.

Will I lose my Hilton Honors points if I cancel?

Points spent on an award night are returned to your account when you cancel inside the reservation's cancellation window; cancel late and you can lose the points or a cash fee equivalent, exactly as with a paid rate. Free-night certificates and award stays have their own redeposit rules, so check the reservation details before you click cancel. Points earned on a stay that never happened simply won't post, there's nothing to lose there.

Can I change the dates instead of cancelling?

Usually yes, and it's often the cheaper move. Flexible and Semi-Flex bookings can be modified free before the cancellation cutoff, subject to availability and the new date's rate. Advance Purchase bookings can't be modified free, attempting to modify is treated the same as cancelling, but the prepayment can be shifted to another Hilton stay for a **$25, $50** fee. If you're outside the window and only need a short delay, ask for a date move before you ask for a refund.

Does Conrad New York Downtown charge for parking or resort fees on top of the room?

Valet parking is charged separately at **$90 per night**, rising to **$105** for oversized vehicles, with no in/out privileges. Those are on-property charges, not part of your reservation total, so a cancelled or refunded room booking doesn't touch them. Query parking, minibar, restaurant and incidental charges line-by-line at checkout or in writing to the hotel afterwards, quoting the folio number, the reservation cancellation policy has nothing to say about them.

Who do I complain to if the hotel ignores my refund request?

Escalate in order. First the property in writing, then the general manager (public review responses from the hotel have been signed off with the GM's address, **Robert.Rechtermann@conradhotels.com**), then Hilton's corporate guest correspondence team at **guest.correspondence@hilton.com** or **(800) 446-6677**. Give each step a firm deadline and reference the previous one. If a card was used and the merchant still won't engage, a chargeback backed by your cancellation number is the final lever, file it inside your issuer's time limit.

Is early checkout refunded if I leave the hotel sooner than booked?

Don't assume so. Hotel rates are booked as a block of nights, and leaving early commonly triggers an early-departure charge rather than a pro-rata refund of unused nights. If plans change mid-stay, tell the front desk **before** the night you want to drop and ask them to note the shortened stay and confirm any fee in writing. Getting it agreed at the desk is far easier than arguing a folio charge after checkout.

The short answer

Room reservations at this Conrad property follow Hilton's rate-level rules, not a single hotel-wide policy: Flexible/Best Available bookings refund any deposit in full if cancelled before the cutoff shown in your confirmation (Hilton's general reference is 48 hours before arrival), while Semi-Flex usually needs about 4 days' notice and Advance Purchase prepaid rates are not refundable at all. Miss the cutoff or no-show on a flexible rate and the charge is typically one night's room plus tax. Prepaid deposits that are refunded can take up to about four weeks to land back on the card. Separate on-property charges, restaurant/bar bills, the $90-per-night valet parking, minibar and incidentals, aren't covered by the reservation cancellation policy at all; those are disputed line-by-line with the front desk or in writing to the hotel after checkout, and OTA bookings are refunded by the agency that took your money, not by the hotel.

How long does a Conrad New York Downtown refund take?

Most merchants agree to a straightforward refund within 1 to 3 working days of a well-written email request. Once agreed, the money itself takes another 3 to 5 working days to land, that part is card-network processing and no merchant can skip it. If nothing has arrived 10 working days after a written “refund approved”, reply on the same thread asking for the ARN (acquirer reference number), which your bank can trace.

Note Conrad New York Downtown’s own policy works on a 2-day window, ask inside it and the request is routine; outside it you’re relying on goodwill or statutory rights.
