Beijing
Okay. I’m just gonna do it. I’m going to gloat.
Part of what made the Beijing leg of this trip possible was the mountain of Starwood points amassed the past several years—about a quarter of which were traded in for a room at the Westin including an upgrade to a Renewal Room (think: spa suite).
This may have been one of the smartest decisions in my entire life.
Above is a photo of my bedroom, taken from the office area (yes, you read that right). The bathroom is through the open door to the left of the flat panel television; further left of that (beyond the edge of the photo) is the door to my dressing room.
I could have landed aircraft in this room, then used the bath suite for a jet hanger. The views were wide open, since in that part of the city, we were one of the tallest buildings around.
