I booked the W Sentosa Cove Hotel using 22,500 American Airlines miles on useaamiles.com. The hotel was going for well of $400 and I thought it was a great deal to use American miles instead of 20,000 valuable Starwood points. I had the hotel add my Starwood Platinum number and placed in the notes that I would love to be upgraded to an AWAY Room or Suite if possible. I wanted to be in an AWAY room because it has a private plunge pool and the Marvelous Suites (usual Platinum upgrade) don\u2019t have that.<\/p>\n

I took an Uber from the Westin Singapore over to the W Singapore \u2013 Sentosa Cove hotel which took 14 minutes. My first impressions of the hotel were \u201cWOW!\u201d The huge W logo was welcoming and the d\u00e9cor inside the hotel was absolutely stunning.<\/p>\n

I checked into the hotel and was surprised to see that I got a Spectacular AWAY room upgrade from the standard Wonderful room. Sadly, the AWAY Suites were not available and it would\u2019ve been a sick upgrade. The assistant manager who checked me in told me that there were only a few AWAY rooms in the entire hotel.<\/p>\n

The AWAY Rooms are located one level below the hotel lobby. I had to pass by the beautiful AWAY Spa and swipe my keycard to access my room.<\/p>\n
