Bhrubin scared us enough about the St Regis DC that we switched last minute to the brand new Conrad- it has a hotel within a hotel on the 10th floor called the Sakura Club- with a very nice lounge (and we are not typically lounge people) serving Taittinger champagne 😊. Excellent service- clean contemporary rooms with (peek) views of Washington Monument and Capitol and there is an enjoyable roof bar.
We also decided on Las Alcobas Napa for December.

We stayed at Los Alcobas last April.
Highlights: Nice room with high ceilings, pleasent views of the vineyard, free breakfast credit in the restaurant was great, enjoyed being close to St. Helena
However, for the prices I generally see them charging, I would probably not go back. The public areas were not particularly nice and having some of the issues in our room fixed proved impossible

We are using points and SNAs at Las Alcobas (which I hope in off season will have a good chance of clearing). So the price is right 
. I am trying to strategically use my points, SNAs and Ambassador status for some nicer award stays (to try and balance out some of those Aman and Four Seasons stays
Next week we have an award stay at the StR NYC and they have already preupgraded to a Madison Suite. We also have upcoming award stays at Tambo del Inka, Palacio del Inka, Phoenician Residences (with private pool) and St Regis Hong Kong.
I will have Ambassador status until February 2021 so want to make the most of it as a lot of our travel after that will be at other than Marriott.

Thank You for the Wakon recommendation! Did their Omakase course at lunch and it was fantastic. Probably prefer this over 3 stars Sushi Shikon in HK

It only took me 13 months to decide. With our wedding at Park Hotel Vitznau not even 2 weeks away, yesterday I finally booked our honeymoon. Having looked through every possibility on earth, it's now become very simple
- Aman Tokyo
- Laucala

Just got back from Singapore (7 nights) + Langkawi (4 nights).
Next confirmed trip is Bali for a travel event in November, will likely extend Bali for a couple more days at least + combine with something (Amanwana? Nihiwatu?).
Trying to do something in between that - Maldives? Soneva Kiri? Luang Prabang (rainy season though for all 3...)? I don't know yet.
