I just made Diamond - any hotel recommendations?

[craven morehead]

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

I can book a suite with an SNU, would an upgrade happen to the next higher suite? Thinking about it.

Thanks for the advice.

Not guaranteed.
Entirely up to management with many factors at play.
Don’t be surprised if they say no
