If you won't miss the 12,000 extra points, the Suite might be a good option.
There are two types of suites, the front ones on the river, and ones at the back which are the same size but obviously don't have the same river views.
Thanks for the response. I'm thinking I'd rather have a "Deluxe Plus" room than a regular Executive room. It's bigger and apparently newly refurbished. Wonder if they'll handle this as they do at the Conrad where, if you book a corner room, they give you a corner room plus lounge access.
