You also need to book through Starriott in order to be eligible for Bonvoy perks.
IME typically you can find lower rates, or the same rate with breakfast included, on the Design Hotels website. Some of these properties (probably just a few of them) also participate in FHR, Virtuoso, etc. so it can be worthwhile to check.
