St. Regis Washington
Bonvoy platinum and higher elites should add the St. Regis in Washington to the list of properties to avoid:
Upgrades with Marriott Bonvoy are so tough in the United States that even the President’s granddaughter couldn’t get one.
The Trump family stayed at St. Regis D.C. for the inauguration, based on video shared by President Trump’s granddaughter Kai who took on a much larger profile this past summer at the Republican Convention.
This hotel is notoriously challenging for upgrades because – despite having plenty of suites – they seem not to inspect their suites as having been cleaned until they’re booked for cash so that they are ‘not available’ when Ambassador members check in.
That approach seems to apply to Kai Trump, who is Donald Trump, Jr.’s daughter.
