All other points are valid... we even thought about looking at AirBnb for apartments and condos.
You're right in that rates have increased substantially, but they're still about $200 USD less per night than the St. Regis (unless you have a SET code. By American Bar Association SET gives me rates at the StR from $248/night, which I think is good).
I was just at the Mandarin doing a site inspection (Review here:
http://www.isserbtravels.com/blog/20...iental-atlanta), and was checking rates for a client....they were under $300 for the Fri/Sat I was looking at. The St. Regis (I'm a complete sucker for any St. Regis) was over $500/night. The Mandarin was a steal in my opinion. Which was reason 324 I asked myself "why stick to one brand"...
