Can't help you with question (1), but am more than happy to recommend the Ritz Carlton Millenia in Singapore. The rooms are HUGE and the bathrooms are to die for. The pool, spa and overall service was incredible (my travelling companion had a button on his jacket pop off while we were checking out. It was whisked off him while we directed to the lounge for tea. Within 5 minutes it was returned completely repaired!). Additionally, I am a BA member and was able to credit miles to my OneWorld account for this stay. As for Zurich, I stayed at the Dolder Grand, but to be honest, I arrived after midnight and left before 7 a.m. Not in the center of town, furnished sparsely but very comfortable. Actually just checked with a friend who lives there. The hotel of choice is apparently the Widder Hotel: http://www.widderhotel.ch


As for the miles, as mentioned I am part of oneworld. That would qualify Qantas to get you to Singapore, but for the Zurich portion you would need to go SIN, LHR, ZRH to get the miles. No idea about Hawaii. Actually thinking of going there myself and am in the process of figuring out the flights and best mileage route.

Hope this helped.
