Starwood Hotels and Resorts have seven levels of hotel categories for members to redeem their Starpoints for free nights. Starwood’s highest tier is a Category 7 property, which Starwood defines as uber hotels and resorts offering awe-inspiring surroundings in some of the world’s most spectacular destinations
You will need 30,000-35,000 Starpoints for a free night for a Category 7 hotel. As a reminder, you can redeem 4 nights and get the 5th night free.
Another option for Category 7 Â hotel is Cash and Points, which will cost 15,000 points plus $275 per night, which can often be a better deal than redeeming with all points.

I’d argue your list is not very good.
To redeem a category 7 SPG in Bali is a terrible idea, considering Bali has so many luxury resorts for usually a very low paid rate. The Chatwal is also a terrible redemption since there are four Ws in NYC for a lower redemption. Also, the Chatwal is not a ultra-luxury property worthy of the Category 7 rating in my opinion.
You missed the obvious W Verbier (near $1000 a night throughout the year), the Hotel Wilson in Geneva (rated one of the top hotels in the world), and the Mystique in Santorini, known for it’s lack of availability due to year-round bookings.
