Why is that? Why isn't it NY or SF? I'v been to 7 different Starwoods in Australia/NZ and each one would be "best of breed" in the US. And they have lots of competition. The prices are not cheap, but you leave feeling you got your money's worth and a great stay. While in many hotels I leave wondering whether I should stay there again.
I wish Starwood would propagate the Australian standards to the rest of the Starwood properties around the world. Most would benefit from the improvement.
