TAP Air Portugal Traipse

I was very happy to finally get to Amsterdam after being rebooked to the next day – successfully landed. Yay! But this Marriott property did not grant my request for a 1-night waiver despite the extraordinary circumstances so boo.

[Hotel Review] The Ritz Carlton Perth

This Ritz Carlton has been on my list for a while and I was super happy that my 85k redemption works for this property (base room cost 65k and the next tier was over 100k so there was no middle tier). Excited to experience an immediate comparison after 2 nights in Westin too.

[Hotel Review] Grand Mercure Hanoi

On By Satu KosongIn Accor, Executive Club Lounge, Grand Mercure, Hanoi, Holiday, VietnamLeave a comment

This is my first non-Bonvoy trip of the year!

After plotting out my Bonvoy Titanium renewal, I decided to focus on Accor in an attempt to see if I can regain my long lost Platinum status. And in line with my obsession with new-ish hotels, I was super happy to find an Accor property that was offering rather reasonable rates even for an Executive Room so that sealed the deal yay.

[Hotel Review] Mandarin Oriental Singapore (post renovation)

On By Satu KosongIn Executive Club Lounge, Mandarin Oriental, SingaporeLeave a comment

This property has been on my list ever since it re-opened following the extensive renovation in 2023 – I mean the property looks drop-dead gorgeous and such an improvement from its former life which I tried in 2021. The experience wasn’t bad but there wasn’t any denying that the hardware needed a refresh.

And of course, Hau65. Who says no to free flow Ruinart bubbles all day?

Terracotta Tripping 2024

This I believe was the score price for my trip!

Wasn’t able to find much detailed reviews about this property from my research other than that on TripAdvisor (and even so, Dec 2023 being the last review) so hopefully this will help someone else 🙂
