SPG Hot Escapes Great Picks for March 5, 2015

SPG’s Hot Escapes list came out yesterday, and there are some great picks in the bunch. Even though it is a little early in the year, there’s one good for mattress running too.

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.
