Best loyalty hotel strategy for Europe: What next?

As a 20 year old college student, I've embarked on an ambitious mission to plan and book a 7+ day luxury trip to Europe with my boyfriend when I graduate. Trip would be in late may/early June 2015, and I will be diligently booking air+hotels as soon as inventory is released.

Here's what I have secured (points wise, not reservations) for the trip so far (ignore taxes & YQ):
228,000 AA miles (enough for BA Club World, shooting for First)

200,000 HH points, planning 5 nights at Hilton Sorrento Palace w/i Gold 5th night free

44,000 UR--> Hyatt points, 2 nights at Park Hyatt Vendome Paris.

What else I'm planning
Chase Hyatt Visa--> 2 more nights at PH Vendome Paris

Here's where I need y'all's help:

What other HHonors, Hyatt or Marriott properties should I look at?

I'm interested in the French Riviera, also will consider other destinations in Italy, possibly Switzerland as well.

I have 85,000 AMEX points (keep in mind for Virgin transfer bonus-->HH) and I'm planning on applying for the 50k Chase Ink card in my next AoR in Aug 2014 for Marriott or Hyatt transfers.

Thoughts?
