(I cut out the stops with non-luxury options so as not to "offend" the forum's delicate sensibilities )

Jan
Kyoto (Ritz Carlton & Hoshinoya Ryokan)
Tokyo (Peninsula)
Manila (Peninsula)
Panglao Island (Amorita)
Bangkok (Peninsula)
Luang Prabang (Amantaka)
Chiang Rai (Four Seasons Golden Triangle)
Chiang Mai (Anantara)
Hong Kong (Mandarin Oriental)
Sydney (Shangri-La, questionable!)
Ayers Rock (131 Degrees)

Feb
Melbourne (Park Hyatt)
Auckland (Sky City Grand, hmmm)
Santiago (Ritz-Carlton)
Easter Island (Explora)
Santiago (Ritz-Carlton)
Iguazu Falls (Belmond)
Rio (JW Marriott)
Buzios (Vila d'Este, maybe good?)
Sao Paulo (Palacio Tangara)

March
St. Moritz (TBD Hotel, currently leaning Hotel Kulm...open to ideas)
The Hague (Debating Hotel des Indes [LHW]...playing in an ice hockey tournament in The Hague, seems easiest to just stay there the whole time and no nights in Amsterdam before/after)

May
Nashville (The Hermitage)
Helsinki (Hotel Kamp)
Hong Kong (Considering giving St. Regis a shot, thoughts?)
Singapore (Ritz-Carlton)
Borobudur (Amanjiwo)
Jakarta (RC/FS/MO/Other?)
Komodo (Chartering a boat)
Kuala Lumpur (StR/FS/MO/RC?)

June
Buenos Aires (Alvear Palace)
Bogota (FS Casa Medina)
Bologna (Baglioni)
Guangzhou (RC/FS/Rosewood/PH?)
Helsinki (Hotel Kamp)

July
Tokyo (Ritz-Carlton)
Nagoya (Hilton/Marriott/Other?)
Fukuoka (Grand Hyatt, Other?)
Hong Kong (Pen or Upper House)
St. Tropez (Hotel Byblos)
The Nagoya Marriott is the most convenient if you're coming in by Shinkansen but I find it overpriced for an aging Japanese chain hotel that happens to participate in Bonvoy. The best option among mediocre ones in Nagoya.

Fukuoka. I find the GH to be tired, even, after the rooms refresh and it's gotten a long more expensive too. I would recommend the trendy boutique 'With the Style' hotel.
