And add The Mark to the list, at Madison and 77th (controversial Grange decor and all):

Twin Farms

March Special At Twin Farms!

Historically our heaviest snowfalls happen in March and our trails are already open and ready for you to enjoy now.
Vermont is blanketed in fresh snow. Come experience your favorite outdoor pursuit or the simple pleasures of a bottle of wine by the fire in your cottage.

For every two nights you stay during the month of March, enjoy a warm weather night on us later, complimentary. Skate on the pond now and swim in the pond later. May not be combined with any other offer.

Complimentary nights may be used from May 3rd through September 18th 2010.

Definite bah. It is not really clear whether the Junior Suite is the max booked room, or max upgraded room.

FWIW, here is how the Lanesborough has outlined how they define what a standard one-category upgrade will look like:

Deluxe Single to Executive Single
Executive Single to Deluxe Double
Deluxe Double to Executive Double
Executive Double to Junior Suite
Junior Suite to Executive Junior Suite
Executive Junior Suite to Apsley Suite
Apsley Suite to Grosvenor Suite
Grosvenor Suite to Buckingham Suite
Buckingham Suite to No upgrade
