Really, karen2? Perhaps you can enlighten us with which hotels and how you can get the lifetime status.

I was wondering the same thing, did a search and found this thread! Yeah! My search worked!
Since this was last active several years ago, I would like to renew the question. Is anyone aware of any hotel chains that offer lifetime status?

sonora, you might want to take a look here for some Marriott tidbits ----> \http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=338849
I don't know about other programs, but for Marriott, you can pull up other threads by searching in the Marriott forum using the search keyword "emeritus."
Enjoy!

Marriott has an Emeritus level
I don't know the exact levels, and I couldn't pull up the link from the message above.
I believe it goes something like
Plat Emeritus
3 Million points
12 years elite
? years plat.
1200 nights plat
Gold emeritus
still 12 years elite other levels lower
Silver emeritus
still 12 years elite other levels lower
Corrections...additional info, anyone?

Westin Premier had this after 5 years at top status. I received this distinction and then Westin joined Marriot as Starwood Preferred and it disappeared.

I have permanent Silver status with Hilton as long as I hold their AMEX card. Since it's a no annual fee card, that's a no-brainer.
If I run $20K a year through the card (also not that difficult -- man, I run everything through a credit card!
), I get Hilton Gold status. There's a rumor that spending $50K a year on the card gets you Diamond.
Not as nice, but certainly cheaper than buying a timeshare in Fiji.
