Breakfast is still comp'd here for Plats, right?
Upgrade chance is absolutely 0 unless they over book. Even if they overbook I believe they would just give it to people that stay there regularly vs a platinum member.
As for Breakfast all rooms include 2 free breakfast if it's paid with $ not points. Points does not qualify for breakfast.
The only platinum benefit is free high speed internet

I am booked here with my mother for 2 nights in 2 SPG award Cosy rooms on our way back from Italy in Oct 2018.
This will be only my second Design Hotels stay, following immediately after the La Bandita Townhouse in Pienza (and St Regis Florence) while we're in Tuscany. It will be interesting to judge these very well regarded Design Hotels against such a lofty St Regis Florence service and luxury standard. But both the LBT and ABG properties also sound amazing. I can't wait.
Any suggestions for best things to do in town with my mother? I know we'll be dining at Ecco. Thanks!
Internet was fine. Harry from Concierge was very helpful when we were there. We went for 2 days and went shipping day 1 than Lucerne in day 2.
Design hotels is great for those without status tbh.
