Email or speak with the concierge or hotel manager a few days before you arrive. Share your excitement for the stay and inquire about any services they offer. Slide in a request for a room upgrade, and it might just work out for you!
Check-in is another time when you can make a request in person and hope for an available upgrade. Just do it politely with no guests around to overhear for the best chance.
Remember that you should keep these requests open-ended and not be too specific with the kind of upgrade you desire. This gives them flexibility and the will to do the best they can.
