Which luxury hotel using points? (SPG vs IHG vs Hyatt)

Okay, is a liberal use of the term 'luxury', but aiming as high as I can with points.

Am traveling to SIN 23-27Mar, coming from 9days in BKK/HKT/Pattaya.
I've not been to SIN in 15+yrs, when I stayed at the Fullerton.

Am mid-40s, traveling solo. Figure all my party energy will have been extracted during the Pattaya Music Festival, so lower key, higher end part of my trip in SIN. Primarily interested in cultural & religious sightseeing, some shopping, and eating chili crab!

This is my first honest-to-god proper 2week holiday since I don't know when... college? So am going as high-end as I can make happen using all these points I rack up traveling for work, so flying GlobalFirst on UAL & Thai Air, staying in a suite at Westin BKK, etc.

I'm SPG/Lifetime Plat, IHG/Plat but no Ambassador, Hyatt/Plat (falling out of Diamond tomorrow), so looking at
* Grand Hyatt
* StRegis
* Intercontinental
* new Westin
(both Holiday Inns & the Sheraton have so-so reviews on TA, but correct me if that's an incorrect impression)

All have availability for points, and I have so many points, let's just say the cost is equal, so remove from consideration.
Any feedback on the properties as they compare, whether location, or treatment/amenity level as a Platinum on a point stay?
Am also amenable to staying in 2 properties over the 4days.

Thanks for the advice!
