So the new marriott awards chart is up on their website... this hotel is being listed as a Cat 8* @ 85,000 points per night but that should be the 2019 rate not the August 1st, 2018 rate. I'm assuming the 8/1 rate will be 60,000 points per night which is an amazing deal.
I'm assuming this means that Marriott won't be charging a premium for this hotel like SPG does. I'm also wondering if a Cat 7 Marriott Travel Package might apply to this also through the end of the year at least.
