Travelling with Marge however, getting a suite with an epic view, or an included breakfast that has a champagne service (ok usually sparkling wine), or a downtown location that means we can walk to many of the tourist haunts we want to visit, means a great vacation.
Starwood does an excellent job at their aspirational properties with their LT Plats.
That for me is what I get.
There is not frequent user program I talk up more than Starwood, as it has allowed my wife and I to stay at some truly remarkable places.
