1. should i split my time between a river hotel and a city hotel to help with transportation/traffic? I'd imagine first few days can be rough after all that flying.
2. which property offers a good breakfast? I love asian hotel breakfasts...they're typically grandiose and lots of variety. I'm plat, so I should be able to receive breakfast at all the locations.
3. best chance of upgrades? I'd assume LM would be best, then maybe SGS/W/StR/athenee?
4. Will probably pay out of pocket, considering the rates during that time are <$150/nt

tips? hints?
- Any status with Marriott? Breakfast at lounge or restaurant?
- Write the property directly and inform them about your honeymoon and request any special consideration for such.
- Go for the river location, views, and ambiance - you will sweep your bride off her feet the second time around.
- You should at least get a lovely Jr. Suite at the ROS. But breakfast by the river is the clincher!
