Although you'd pay rack rate. The sheraton Miyako may be a good value on points, but the Kobe Bay Sheraton is a better hotel.

Hi all,
As an SPG gold member is it worth booking the Grand deluxe room in hopes of a suite upgrade for $33 more than the regular deluxe room?
Also, would anyone highly advise against using Osaka as a home base to visit Kyoto/Nara over 2-3 days? Hotels in Kyoto are quite pricey and do not mind the commute (and also appreciate the nightlife of osaka)
Thanks!

Most Japanese hotels have a very literal interpretation of upgrade policies. They will upgrade if a one category upgrade is available for the duration of the stay, but they will not liberally give out multi-category upgrades. Booking through Virtuoso might help get up to a suite from Grand Deluxe?

As far as SPG hotels goes, this one has to be up there as far as value for your points, especially if you are a Plat as the breakfast and minibar credits really add up. The location can't be beat either.

Me + Mr. Zee will be staying at St. Regis Osaka for a couple nights in March, then heading to Tokyo for the weekend, and planning to use Avios to fly JAL. They have flights out of KIX and ITM, but I can't seem to figure out which is the better choice when departing the St. Regis. It will be a Friday, mid-day if that matters. I'm not looking for the cheapest option, but do not necessarily need a private car. St. Regis only provides info for KIX, but it seems ITM is closer and has more flight options from Osaka to Haneda, so I'm not sure which to pick. And advice would be appreciated!

The biggest advantage in flying out of ITM though, is landing into HND which is much more convenient than NRT (not sure if there are KIX-HND flights).
