Personally I prefer firm single-block memory/latex foam pillows to pretty much everything else. Shredded latex foam pillows are also acceptable. But poly fill and down are both simultaneously too lofty and flatten out too much for me to find comfortable. But I've never encountered a true blocky foam pillow in a hotel so the best I can do is stack two "foam" poly fill pillows on top of each other.
I believe I did get proper solid block memory foam pillow before.
IIRC, St Regis Singapore, The Capitol Kempinski Singapore, and So/Sofitel Singapore provided solid memory foam pillow as my parents request them on reservation.

I like feather/ down pillows, so for my other stays by myself I never request other type of pillow.
