Me too, but I'll add FHR CTS and R&C Club 5C. When I want to stay at a Luxury hotel, I'll try FHR (covers all the MO and FS properties, etc. as well as many small non-chain properties), or R&C, or one of the luxury options within SPG, Hilton, Marriott/Ritz, IC, Hyatt, etc. LHW just isn't necessary anymore and hasn't been for over a decade. For me anyways.
