The rooms at SGS are much more dated in style, though I believe most have been updated and are in excellent condition.
I personally think the pool at Athenee is much nicer, though the space at SGS is perhaps more interesting with all the foliage. You'll have a challenge trying to find 7-8 loungers together at the SGS pool over New Year's.
Pre-pandemic, New Year's was no chance on the upgrade, and I suspect that's what it will be like this year. Your experience at Athenee this past year was somewhat atypical due to the pandemic.
But Athenee does have good rates with Virtuso/STARS( avg 140USD Tax.incl per night) , while SGS doesn't have such good rates, but keep in mind that Athenee doesn't allow elite discount stack on F&B credits.
