Two nights at W Taipei: the room, Yen Chinese restaurant, Woo Bar cocktails, spa and pool, and whether Amex FHR or Marriott Platinum gives better value.

Second stay at Signiel Seoul in the only Hanok Premier Room in the hotel. The highest Korean-style room in South Korea, not bookable on any third-party site.

We stayed at 5 Las Vegas luxury hotels and ranked them across 5 categories: design, dining, amenities, location, and value for money.

Our final Vegas stop: Croxford LXR at Resorts World. Vincent used a free night certificate for a suite upgrade. Plus the Circus Circus steakhouse.

We stayed at the newly renamed Conrad Singapore Marina Bay via Amex FHR. Great location, excellent lounge access, and Michelin dim sum nearby.

Our first Four Seasons stay: a Corner Junior Suite upgrade via Amex FHR at KLCC, right next to the Petronas Towers. Club Lounge, Curate buffet, and Yun House.

Our second stay at Royalton CHIC Cancun — we paid $114/night extra for Diamond Club. Here's whether the butler, private pool, and VIP perks are actually worth it.

We splurged on a Ceiba Club Ocean View Suite at the Conrad Tulum — private outdoor jacuzzi, VIP check-in, and an Amex FHR birthday surprise. Here's whether it's worth the upgrade.
