Dilemma, Hilton gold is actually good enough, for Marriott and hyatt you need to stay for 50/60 night to get equivalent benefit

le meridien now lowest rate is around 190..

you can easily stay 50 nights to get platinum for less than RM 10k.

Why don’t stay AC kl then? Even cheaper

Thinking if I should go for Hilton diamond or Marriott platinum. Prefer hyatt globalist but the cost is just much higher

not a big fan of hilton chain.

marriott bonvoy is the difficult one because they are everywhere.
merging of starwood and marriott is just enormous.

But too bad they din give complimentary breakfast to Ritz-Carlton stay.

I would say hyatt globalist is good considering there are some good park hyatt properties in Asia, including the upcoming iconic park hyatt pnb 118, and you get some free upgrade/lounge entry certificate/ free stay certificate along the way to accumulate your elite status, which neither Hilton nor Marriott offer this

u mean for plat status? i thought lounge access will always include breakfast.

last year ihg offer plat members free breakfast in china everywhere, i soaked it up by going there close to 30 times.

Yes got lounge access but the breakfast is not as nice as breakfast served at main restaurant. And some resort don’t have lounge, like RC langkawi, they charge RM180 for a breakfast which is expensive by malaysia standard

180 is normal for 5* standard.

last time i was in langkawi, st regis upgraded me and threw me free breakfast for no reason. maybe it's my first time staying there.

Updated, seems like RC don’t get lounge access With bonvoy platinum , basically RC don’t recognise elite status
