Nope, a few hours a week is enough to make me smile.

I'm a Lifetime Platinum Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG) member and have stayed with them over 700 nights all over the world. They have excellent properties everywhere including the St. Regis in New York.

Good question. Most of us can't afford those places after funding our audio habit.

Yes, those are top choices and should be part of discussion. I enjoyed the Four Seasons in Prague and at the former Ottoman jail at Sultanahmet in Istanbul.

Personally I try to avoid chain hotels every time I can.

For me in Istambul it's the Ciragan Palace which I believe is Kempinsky's right?

My favorites that I have stayed at in the past are:

Mandarin Oriental - Bangkok
Peninsula - Hong Kong
Four Seasons - Istanbul at Sultanahmet

I have nothing else better to do than fish through old threads during this Covid.
I have never stayed at an Aman property. But would love to once this Covid is behind us.
