Titanium EliteDeluxe TwincheapestPremier Deluxe Twin with Club Lounge accessUpgraded

Lounge access
Room with a view

We love luxury hotels with excellent service, good breakfast buffet and club lounge (but Prince does not give Club Lounge access to Titanium). That's one of the reasons why the choice was so hard. Booked 5 nights on points and used a 85K FNA plus 10K points for the night before our flight. We booked the least cost room, which was a Deluxe Twin, 452 sq ft. I emailed the hotel prior to arrival and requested an upgraded room for my birthday if available. They were super nice and apologetic because they were sold out but offered a Premier Deluxe Twin 495 sq ft and Club Lounge access. Needless to say, we were beyond grateful. I should cut to the chase and say as frequent travelers, who value a luxury hotel with service to match, the Prince Gallery was a hit. We loved everything about it and can't think of any negatives. Club Lounge- one of the best club lounges we've encountered. It was on the 34th floor and gorgeous views, especially in the evening. Very quiet when we were there, maybe 2 other couples on most nights we were there. Excellent selection of high quality food, like escargot, meat dish, shrimp, ceviche, soup, desserts, etc. Rotates every evening. Room- the view of Mt Fuji from the room was amazing. The decor was calm and upscale. Nice amenities, excellent housekeeping service. Breakfast- was buffet with the usual selection of eggs, protein, breads, pastries, miso soup, fish, fruit, salad and order off the menu selections. We especially liked the Truffled Eggs. Gorgeous views, good food and nice service. Location - the subway was a 3 min walk from the hotel and got us everywhere in Tokyo. Very convenient and easy to use. About 25 min to Haneda airport and very easy to use Uber at $55. usd. I highly recommend the Prince Gallery and especially book the Club Lounge access room. It will not disappoint. It was a lovely stay. You will thank me later.

Titanium EliteSuperior KingHigashiyama One Bedroom SuiteUpgraded

Lounge access

The Westin Miyako Kyoto upgraded us from a standard Superior King 301 sq ft to their largest Higashiyama 1 bed suite 1,485 sq ft. The view of the trees from the room was stunning. It had living, dining room, 1.5 bath and large bedroom. We were very appreciative. Breakfast -the breakfast in the restaurant was grand, in a large space with everything you could want including ice cream. I liked the rice balls with salmon wrapped in seaweed. The salad bar was also very impressive. There were hot dishes and made to order eggs. Lots of Japanese foods to chose from. Club Lounge - the lounge again was underwhelming compared to the Prince Gallery, but we had enough to eat and enjoyed our time in the lounge. The other guests were very friendly and there were a couple of nights in where we closed the lounge down. Location - the subway station was almost next door and it was handy to get us around Kyoto. Seems like there are limited restaurants and shops near the hotel, but the free shuttle will take you to the Central Train Station. Kyoto is a lot bigger then I thought and the subway, while it is good, it doesn't go directly to some of the sights and you have to take a bus in some cases. Concierge - luckily there was a nice person working who was very detailed oriented and spoke good english and he helped me map out our routes for each day of sightseeing. There are a few other concierge that are not as helpful, mostly because of the language barrier. Pool and spa - we had a free afternoon by the pool and I also bought some products from the spa with my $100. resort credit. (Booked w/Stars agent) The nice upgrade to the huge suite and the fun times we had in the club lounge made our stay very enjoyable. During May, it's the high season, so pricey, but other times it can be had for a bargain. Kyoto is lovely, crowded and a bit rainy during our stay in May.

Titanium EliteBooked roomMirage Studio with lagoon accessUpgraded

Fruit plate / sweets
Bottle of wine/champagne

We wanted to go to the Great Barrier Reef while in Australia and the Sheraton Port Douglas is the Marriott hotel we chose for being the closest entry point for reef tour. Check In -German greeted us at the lobby and warmly welcomed us. He told us we were upgraded to a Mirage Studio room with direct lagoon access and that our room was located close to the lobby. Room - The room was spacious and we appreciated the Welcome Amenity of Fruit Plate and wine, plus the upgrade. The Green Choice program, where you forgo housekeeping, gives you F/B credit of $10. day. Breakfast - The breakfast buffet was good and had the standard fare, including fresh squeezed orange juice, Asian soup (on a daily rotation) and outstanding guacamole. The service is professional and the Egg Station chef is super friendly. Location- The hotel is about a mile from Port Douglas town. You could walk there on the beach or take the SR Coach shuttle which in my opinion is a bit pricey. About $6. each way. We had a lovely dinner at Melaleuca, in town. There's also a grocery store (for snack/beverages) and Bottle Shop. Restaurant -Onsite Lagoon House restaurant at the pool was lovely and the chef met with us to tell us about the dishes and made recommendations of the Papyrus Salad and the Chicken Larb. They were so delicious, healthy and huge (we were full). Pool - the pool area is huge and there's salt and fresh water, with swim up bar. We spent one day on the loungers and enjoyed the sun. On our last day, we left a small gift and note for the hotel manager, Joseph and he came to find us at breakfast. We appreciated the friendly staff, the upgraded room, Welcome Amenity fruit plate and wine, the breakfast buffet. The hotel is alittle on the dated side. We were there during summer, which is their rainy season and low occupancy after the holiday crowds. Luckily, we avoided much of the rain. Highly recommend a snorkel trip on the Great Barrier Reef.

Titanium EliteBooked roomPanoramic KingUpgraded

Bottle of wine/champagne
Welcome gift

The Ritz Carlton Melbourne is a new hotel and as someone that adores luxury and high end design, I fell in love with the hotel. The lobby is on the 80th floor and the views are magnificent. Location -A short easy Uber ride from the airport, the hotel location can't be beat. It is across the street from the Southern Cross train station where many bus and trams also come. Grocery store and Bottle shop across the street. Check In- Speedy check in and we learned were upgraded to a large Panoramic King. We booked with our Stars agent and received free breakfast and $100. resort credit included in our rate. Room- The room was gorgeous and had a sofa, table, chairs and a lovely bathroom with tub and shower. I took a bath with the bath salts they provided. Walk in closet and separate 1/2 bath. We requested an extra mini refrigerator and it was already in the room. Later on, we requested a microwave to heat up some take out and I think they went out and bought one, because it looked new. Our room was on 76th floor. The beautiful cheese plate and the bottle of sparkling wine was a nice touch and we were so grateful. Breakfast - The breakfast at Atria on the 80th floor is a treat every morning. There is a small buffet section with pastries, juice, fruit, cereal, yogurt, salad and then the menu with the hot dishes. You can order whatever you want when breakfast is included. us when we mentioned that we wanted to get an Australian Open cap. He called the store to make sure they still had them. We gave Charlotte, the front desk manager a small gift and thank you note and in return she gave us 2 Ritz caps, 1 Ritz candle and a leather luggage tag. We were overwhelmed. I think the only other stay at a Ritz that can compare is the Ritz Carlton Langkawi. This was one of our best Marriott stays for hard product and service. It has spoiled us for all future stays. 10 Star.

Fruit plate / sweets

We were so impressed with our stay at the Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park. While not one of Marriott's luxury brands, the hotel provided the excellent service you would expect at a St Regis. Check In- We arrived very early in the morning via an Uber from the airport. We inquired about a room upgrade and Nicole swiftly found us a large 1 bedroom suite facing the park. We booked a 5 night stay and didn't know this was during the big Australia Day holiday. The room was ready and we were pleased after a long flight from California. This was the start of an amazing stay. Breakfast - The breakfast at the Sydney Common was delightful and mostly due to the efforts of F&B Manager Max and stellar chef Allen. The food presentation as well as the quality and variety did not disappoint. What a great way to start the day in Sydney. Joel, one of the servers always had a smile for us each morning. Location - The location of the hotel was great. We walked everywhere in Sydney. A short 15 min walk to the Circular Quay and Opera House. The Royal Botanic Gardens and Hyde Park across the street. When we had to take a bus or ferry, it was very close by. Club Lounge - We loved ending our long days of walking in the beautiful Club Lounge. We especially enjoyed meeting Harley and Betty. The food was excellent and enough so that you could make a meal out of it. High end shrimp, oysters, pasta, salads, meats, cheeses, many kinds of desserts and appetizers rotating every night. We mention to Chef Allen that there was no IPA in the Club Lounge and we found out there isn't any in the hotel. But to our surprise, Chef Allen went out and got 2 kinds and 4 cans each and delivered to our room in ice buckets !! Room - The one bedroom suite overlooking the park was spacious and we were very grateful for the upgrade.

Fruit plate / sweets
Bottled water

We chose the St Regis because we booked on points and got the book 5 nights get one free. The total points was 222,000 for 5 nights and I thought that was great for St Regis stay. Our booking was for the standard Superior Room, 452 sq ft, but got upgraded to St Regis 1 bedroom suite. Location- I was worried that the hotel was far from the major sites, but a pleasant walk through the park across the street lead to the main road on the Bosphorus. The tram stop is about a block and a half. Also, here is the ferry terminal for rides on the Bosphorus. We enjoyed walking and taking the tram around, so the location for us was fine. There is a nice grocery store on the next block for drinks and snacks. Room Upgrade- We had submitted 5 NUA and they were denied, but the hotel gave us a nice upgrade to St Regis 1 bedroom suite overlooking the Macka Park. 613 sq ft. Fruit and cookies with nice note was in our room. Water provided daily. Engin, the Director of Front Office was helpful our entire stay. Housekeeping is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast - Traditional Turkish breakfast was choice of egg dish, cheese, pastries, juice, coffee, fruit, yogurt, tomato/cucumber, olives, honey/butter. Our server over the 5 days warmed up to us and on the last day, he gave us a box of Turkish Delights. The front desk indicated this gift signified that he felt like we were family and is traditional to give gifts. Spa - We toured the Spa on the lower level and there is a small pool, but we didn't use it. Overall, we had a nice stay and grateful for the lovely room upgrade. The staff were friendly and the price was right. Our upgraded suite was normally $1,200. night and we got it for 222,000 points for 5 nights. At check out, they presented us with a beautiful Turkish Glass Eye, and it is believed to protect from the evil eye.
