Also, I hold lowly Gold status.
I have really only sampled the ex SPG fare so will only comment on those. Westin, SGS, 4P, Aloft and Athenee are all close to each other geographically and cater for Sukhumvit centric activities . Athenee, W, STR and LM are all close geographically and are all central to the big inner city shopping districts. LM has some interesting nightlife in the vicinity. ROS is good for the river but not good for getting to other areas. As a gold look for BRGs especially with club facilities would be advised. It is low season so they are often available.
