I've more or less settled on this JW for my trip next week (which I asked about in the miami thread)...suite upgrade and lounge access are very important to me...so im hesitating given mixed feedback on the lounge and the fact that everyone says the hotel is so tired...i could go the beaux arts route, but ive heard as you alluded that upgrades chances are lower...decisions decisions...hvae to decide by end of day Jan 1!
Also happy new years!
Hey, I really don't remember the evening spread beyond the glass of prosecco they offered me - I don't think it was majorly extensive - this is a US lounge, after all. Unfortunately, I don't have photos to confirm. The morning offering in the 2nd floor, if it's still there, was fine for a US lounge breakfast. Sorry I don't have more - it's been a while.
