[Hotel Review] JW Marriott Hotel Bangkok

On By Satu KosongIn Bangkok, Executive Club Lounge, Holiday, JW Marriott, Marriott Bonvoy, ThailandLeave a comment

My first trip back to this city after COVID!

It was an atas sibling trip this time and of course I had to clock in more Bonvoy elite nights. I have to say that the Bonvoy options in this bustling city can be overwhelming and I decided on this property due to the fact that its recently renovated, offers decent proximity to the BTS Stations, the great reviews I saw while researching, plus a later evening cocktail timing (until 9pm) which I needed as my flight will only be landing in BKK at 1700. Onwards to a great stay!

[Hotel Review] Renaissance Johor Bahru

This was an impromptu trip to clock more Bonvoy double elite nights and figured I will do a short review of the property. I stayed here ages ago so its also worth seeing if the property is holding up okay, being the only Bonvoy property in the city. This was also a short stay so this review will also be rather condensed.

[Hotel Review] Sheraton Mall Of The Emirates

My first 2024 hotel review!

This was a multiple-KPI trip: clocking enough miles to renew my KrisFlyer Elite Gold, visit a country which I’ve always wanted to, and start the hamster-wheel on my Bonvoy Titanium renewal. Paying $1,600+ for an Economy Flexi return ticket for a 7-hour flight aside, I was excited and game on to make the best of my 3-night trip.

[Hotel Review] Conrad Singapore Orchard

Is it risky to stay 4 days after a property’s opening AND on one of the “peakest” day of the year? Yes. Also probably not the smartest move. But hey, new hotel fetish remember? Newly renovated / transformed ones also count!

I last experienced this property as its former life, Regent Singapore, back in 2022 and was excited to see its transformation and especially if its into a Conrad.

[Hotel Review] The Singapore EDITION

My first EDITION!

This property was on my radar of new hotel openings to try one day but I didn’t expect it to come so soon. The trigger was someone sharing a note about how redemption slots for the property is live on Bonvoy’s system and incredibly showing rates of 40,000 and upwards. For an EDITION, that’s kind of a no-brainer especially when I have a 35k FNA to use. Game to try this property in preview mode!

[Hotel Review] Pan Pacific Singapore – Deluxe Room

On By Satu KosongIn GHA Discovery, Holiday, Pan Pacific, Singapore, StaycationsLeave a comment

This was an impromptu staycay due to my expiring D$ and I figured why not since the refurbished rooms looks really great on sites I’ve visited. So off I went to have another whirlwind stay! I last visited the property in 2022 and it has since been refurbished extensively including some of the F&B so I was keen to float by these spots too to see what the exciting renovations are about.

Grabbed from official site

This trip came up but of course due to the Cathy Pacific giveaway which happened earlier this year, and I decided to try this RC for its amazing views (and eye watering prices). This stay comes after a fantastic stay at RC Tokyo just last month and I was super excited to be able to make a comparison between these two similarly highly-raved about properties.
