Looks like I started somewhat of a trend with the W thread, but I'm curious to hear what the best of each brand is, even as we get into the lower-end ones.

The Tribute Portfolio is a bit of an oddball, but I love the concept of a brand of boutique hotels that can shine without having to conform to a larger brand standard. I've only stayed at a few, and it can be somewhat hit or miss….but I think I have enough to nominate a favorite:
The
hôtel vagabond in Singapore. It's an absolutely wonderful tiny boutique hotel, filled with personality and art. The hotel tells the owner's story through pictures throughout, and she's always wandering the lounge to chat with guests and share her stories. Platinum treatment is great with breakfast and happy hour included, and the prices are beyond reasonable.
The Tribute Portfolio hotel I frequent most often, however, is the SLS Las Vegas. Unfortunately, it's quite a dump…
