I’ve never won a sweepstakes contest, gotten bumped up into business class, or even had a bank error in my favor (thanks, Monopoly), so when the Ritz-Carlton lost my cousin’s hotel reservation and compensated him with the Presidential Suite, a massive, 2-story room with 3 separate sitting areas and its own dining room, the hubby and I enjoyed this boondoggle by proxy.  The most impressive things to me were the tropical fruit platter available 24-7 and this delicious plate of handmade chocolates.  Oh, if only life were this luxurious all the time.

Have you ever lucked into something amazing?  Do tell!
