What am I entitled to? SPG Gold - booked via BA Holiday's
My partner and I are staying in NYC for 6 nights in December at the W on Lexington Ave. We booked the trip via BA Holiday's in CW using avios upgrade from WT+. Through our Amex Platinum account I have received gold status for SPG. What perks will this bring us, if any as booked via agent?

I believe BA Holidays hotel booking is treated like an OTA. I think you will probably get nothing. But it is up to the hotel's discretion.

You are entitled to the room you booked and nothing more.

The W New York on Lexington is no longer part of the W brand. It is still an SPG (Marriott) hotel as part of Tribute Portfolio. Yes
