I aim to stay at my first choice properties whenever I travel. The exception would be when choosing an hotel based on convenience, or if I feel that the best hotels in a city are a poor value proposition. If I will not be on property much and just need a place to sleep, I will sometimes scale back to four star hotels.

Region: Mostly Asia Pacific, North America, Europe.

Some locations are made for Aman, but in many others I will choose Four Seasons, Soneva, MO, Taj, etc... Or independently owned hotels/resorts.

If I feel that I will really enjoy the experience, I am often willing to spend whatever it takes to get what I want. I try my best to negotiate and look for good deals.
