I just made Diamond - any hotel recommendations?

If you were to compare this to the Fairmont Singapore, what would the major differences be at a Diamond level? I've got a booking at the Sofitel in January, and my last visit there was just as COVID was kicking off and I found it lovely, though obviously quiet at the time. I was tossing up between the Sofitel and Fairmont and am still on the fence, having never stayed at a Fairmont but as I'll have Diamond by then I know I'll get the most benefit. I'll be trying the Fairmont Bangkok Sukhumvit a few days before anyway.

No experience at the Fairmont for me @samh004 but had 3 excellent stays at the Sofitel over the last 2 years. Very generous during the lounge time and will often pour a few extras just before cut off time. I normally head down to the Maxwell Street hawker market after the lounge F&B.

Fairmont Singapore a fair bit better than the Sofitel IMO
As a Diamond they are usually pretty good with upgrades too so you are a good chance of a suite
