Because one of the top factors for room selection at the MO is maximizing the view, working with a knowledgeable V agent can combine the add-on benefits that LauraA has noted with working to get the best view available.
Other hotels to compare and consider are the St.Regis, Four Seasons and Ritz Carlton (Club rooms).
Many discussions and opinions on these hotels can also be found in the Luxury Hotel forum:
