Very wise choice, thank you SPG!
Clearly, this lawyer never signed up for a minor in Marketing...
On a sidenote, SPG had slightly more properties than Hyatt, before both engaged in a takeover battle for Le Meridien, a battle won by SPG at a certain price...
I understand your rationale, though, I also prefer to have a quiet breakfast at the Park Vendome or Milan and not being disturbed by el cheapo guests burning free nights earned at mediocre properties...
Talking about the 'our' great European properties, I am more than happy to pass the truly outstanding Hilton Mainz to stay at the Regency Mainz...
