I am planning a RTW trip and have done very little international travel ( few times to Europe). I am going to use Skyteam because I'm a Delta flyer (Diamond) and have a lot of skymiles. I have a rough idea of the places I would like to visit ( but any other suggestions would be appreciated ) so I really need help with places to stay.
I have :
Hilton Diamond status
Marriott Platinum Status
SPG Gold Status
Hyatt no status but points via Chase

So here is the list of places I need hotel recommendations:

Tokyo, Beijing, Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney, Siem Reap (Cambodia), someplace by the Taj Mahal, Dubai, Moscow, Paris, Vienna, and someplace by Machu Picchu.
I will have to cut 1 or 2 places out due to the Skyteam restrictions but any suggestions on hotels or things to see would be helpful.
Sounds like a great trip. I also have over 600,000 Delta miles and have thought of a similar trip. From my experiences in Thailand I would stay at a Starwood Hotel(Thailand still is our favorite), in Sydney I would consider the Marriott Harbour again. In Hong Kong we stayed at the IC Hotel which was nice. Good luck and I'm going to be watching others replying for ideas. Have a great trip ENJOY.
