SPG Hot Escapes Good Picks for October 29, 2014

SPG’s weekly list of Hot Escapes is out today. 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 Castillo Hotel Son Vida Luxury Collection property in Mallorca has wide open availability at the SPG Member rate of $129 as we move into the cooler season where rates were $267 and in the $300’s earlier this month.

The Hotel Danieli in Venice is on offer again this week for SPG Member rate of $344. Not a great deal, but better than the mid-$400’s and up that this property sometimes has.

The Schloss Fuschl property in Austria has a good rate of $161, which is down from the $350 that it has been. The rate jumps up on Saturday nights though to in the $400’s.

Vana Belle in Koh Samui Thailand has a SPG Member rate of $343. Still a little pricey but you get your very own pool villa with over 900 square feet.

The Great Wall Sheraton Hotel Beijing doesn’t have a ton of availability at the $98 SPG Member rate, but it is nice that some of the weekends have the $98 rate.

The Le Méridien in Kuala Lumpur and the Sheraton Towers Singapore are also good deals for this week.
