Hi,
We are looking to change hotelchain, right now we are Inner Circle at Kimpton, and Gold at Club Carlson. It would be nice to find a rewarding program that includes hotels in Europe, America and Asia. Any tips?

Do you have a list of specific countries/cities in mind? (Even the megaprograms have some gaps.)
Do you mainly want top-end luxe properties? Mainline biz hotels? Limited service / budget brands?
Resorts, cities, or both?
What's your likely redemption? Short stays, long stays, flexibility to convert to airline miles, etc.?
Have you perused the big program forums here? Marriott-Starwood, Hilton, Hyatt, etc.
Kimpton and Carlson feel like opposite ends of the spectrum. Do you prefer great, personal on-property elite treatment or a budget brand that yields quick rewards?
