Not really sure where to post so if moderator think its more appropriate to post else ware please move the thread. Searched for a general hotel program thread..

We have the last two years expanded our business to include the North American market and the previous year I had some 20 days in various locations throughout the US and Canada. Since there is a somewhat difference in EU/ME/RU programs and hotel offerings compared to the US I am hesitating on which program to focus on.

The recent couple of trips I’ve stayed at Hyatt, Mariott and Hilton, I would rank them as more or less equal in fulfilling my desires when on business.

I'd say that Hilton is the one that would give me most benefits in Europe but since I may look forward to some 40 nights a year what would your preferred program be only based on the North American part? I am having some 80 nights on average per year in total outside of Scandinavia.

In Europe I mostly stay at boutique hotels with special programs for each country, example UNA in Italy, Vincci in Spain, etc etc which gives great value and recognition. In the ME and RU it is usually the best value and proximity to office which is the major decision maker.

A major benefit to me would be free nights (of course on top end properties ;-), as a perk as it is a good way to facilitate leisure travelling with the family.

As for FF programs I am SK*G and on my way to LH Sen if that is anything to take in consideration.

Would be happy for any thoughts and/or suggestions.
