- there are only 3 / 4 true junior suites (bit meh, you are not missing anything)
(usually never allocated to those impared with mobility issues : stairs)
- the little house (2 bedroom) is not classed as a suite
- Penthouse the Witt is ofcourse quite popular
Yeah I was silently hoping for one of the terrace rooms

as you mentioned you have status with other chains:
- Marriott Amsterdam (with lounge) : avoid the Renaissance
- Andaz : avoid atrium rooms
- Waldorf Astoria (chique with destination dining but hidious expensive!)
If perkwise: via virtuoso
Conservatorium hotel has a reputation for pampering (destination dining + also new money seen & be seen )

Generally trying to optimize hotel for some combination of:
- quality of hotel itself
- price point/% discount I can get via offers or points
- probability that I'll be able to score a worthwhile upgrade
Headed to the Kimpton Fitzroy next and they've been taking real nice care of me even prior to arrival including app upgrade to a studio suite. Looking forward to see how it goes! Overall, between my 3 kimpton stays, IHG has not made me regret getting their credit card yet!
