Next week we have an award stay at the StR NYC and they have already preupgraded to a Madison Suite. We also have upcoming award stays at Tambo del Inka, Palacio del Inka, Phoenician Residences (with private pool) and St Regis Hong Kong.

I will have Ambassador status until February 2021 so want to make the most of it as a lot of our travel after that will be at other than Marriott.

Totally get it. I am in the same boat with respect to a lot of my stays through February 2020 when I was able to make award stays at hotels that were Cat 6 but are now cat 8 - which also means I am staying at more Marriotts than normal in order to get the points!
