I'm interested in seeing how the breakfast benefit will work at some of these properties, but otherwise I don't know what else there is to get excited about.
Interesting to note that as a select few properties will be joining Luxury Collection, Autograph Collection or Tribute Portfolio, some form of breakfast/breakfast credit should be offered to Plats+ unless they manage to get themselves on the exempt list.
Expect the breakfast to be exempted out entirely or substituted for 1000 points (per stay or maybe per night) at best.
