SPG Hot Escapes Great Picks for October 8, 2014
SPG’s weekly list of Hot Escapes is out, and there are some great choices in the group.
For those who aren’t familiar with Hot Escapes, SPG combined Beat The Timer for Hot Escapes and Starpicks into something called Hot Escapes. Every Wednesday at 6am EST new properties are added and must be booked by that Saturday, for stays during the following six weeks. As an SPG member, you also save an extra 5% and earn points for the stay.
The only downside is that reservations are prepaid, and if you change or cancel a fee is involved.
Here’s a link to this week’s Hot Escapes selections.

The Westin New York Grand Central is a great choice at down to $212 a night. There is plenty of availability on the weekends too at the lower end, which makes this quite a deal for New York.
All three properties in Italy have great prices and the St Regis Rome has really great availability right now.
The St. Regis Osaka SPG member pricing looks nice and low at $175 in November, though that cheap price is only available during the week.
The Sheraton Maldives is perhaps the best deal in the group. As a Category 6 property, and at $266 a night (instead of $500+) you get a regular Deluxe room which is a great price. Even better is the Ocean Pool Villa for $658 a night which is 2,153 square feet with a private deck and comes with a complimentary wine fridge and plunge pool. It typically goes for $1,269 a night in low season, so quite a deal. Availability is wide open, so the only difficult part may be getting there within the next 6 weeks!
