Can buy cheap anniversary nights for the Hyatt (not a very shabbos-friendly hotel) and the W is pure awesomeness (also not a shabbos hotel).

I got all the points and one Hyatt anniversary night too, but I was wondering if this is a good IC to lash out some of my IHG points? (30k SPG for the W is too much for me).

Well its quite shabbos friendly if you would use elevators on shabbas. If no elevators then not shabbas friendly.

Sorry, your right it's only 20, but still I'm leaning towards one of those 3 and I think Hyatt will be the best value as I have an anniversary night as well.
