Is that the same Shangri-La that's right next door? I haven't stayed there,
but I've eaten in its restaurant a couple of times. It's nice atmosphere,

which of their restaurants?

comparable to the JW, as pricey but, IMHO, not quite as good. I know a lot
of people who swear by the Shangri-La, though.

There's a third hotel in the same vicinity -- the Intercontinental, perhaps?

The Conrad?

My understanding is that they're all generally comparable. I stay at the JW
because I a Marriott frequent stay point whore. In fact, most of my
stays at that hotel, including one coming up at the end of this year, are
free thanks to Marriott's Reward Point program.

oh, I thought this thread was about money being no object where would
you stay... or is the question which portion of your budget would you
allocate to lodging?

The question was, "is it worth staying in a classy hotel?", which I
don't translate as, "money is no object."


Does everyone in this thread who is pro-5-star have someone else
footing the bill?

I foot my own bill when I stay in 5-stars for leisure travel.
