Ditto Four Seasons Chiang Mai.
Or the Mandarin ATL, which is normally 200 USD less than the St. Regis ATL? (and is also the #1 rated hotel in Metro ATL)

Because
Maybe I need or want the room until 4pm without paying more. Sometimes even until 6pm.
Maybe I want to not pay a usurious internet rate
Maybe I want the chance of a nice upgraded room/suite
Maybe I want to not have to pay for breakfast or go elsewhere for breakfast as to not pay a usurious hotel breakfast rate
Maybe I want to take a vacation with my hotel points and have my hotel bill be $0 instead of $3000.
The list goes on ...
And yes, I'm 90% or so leisure.
