Service, (perceived) upgrade ratio, rooms/decor, property amenities, parking charges all remain to be seen. I don't expect to see a super luxury property once the property switched to SPG/Starwood, but not sure what the category will be next year after some investment.
+1. I'd like to see something resembling Diplomat but in SoBe. A place where to go for a week or two. I don't know many people who can afford two weeks at Cat 7. W & St. Regis are already two too many. With the Diplomat's beatiful suite upgrade ratio.
