Last Minute Travel Hotels

Last Minute Hotel Reservation - High End Hotels? I have been using those "Last Minute Hotel Deals" sites, as well as priceline.com and get a room at decent hotels. However, I never see 4 or 5 Star hotels (such as Ritz Carlton or Mandarin Oriental) have their rooms listed on those sites. I think there must be a pricing policy that prohibits them from advertising on those sites, but at the same time, isn´t it better for them to have some paying guests, instead of having empty rooms? Does anyone know any websites that lists rooms at higer-end hotels? Thanks in advance for your input!

Which website allows you to choose last-minute hotel deals for a discounted price, without knowing its name? There used to be a website on which you selected a date and a somewhat specific location of a hotel in which to stay, and also a star rating and an amenity list. The price was discounted; the only catch was that you couldn't see exactly which hotel you'd chosen until after you'd paid with a credit card. Does anyone know which site this is? I've used it before with great results. (I know it's wasn't Priceline, because you never named your price.) Thank you!
