SPG Hot Escapes Great Picks for March 11, 2015

SPG’s Hot Escapes list is out this morning, and here are some of the best picks.

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.

Sheraton Denarau Villas in Fiji are on offer this week at a SPG member rate of $224. That’s the lowest we’ve seen them at this year, and even back in October they were a little bit higher. Alas, that rate is only for the 19th and 22nd of March.

Sheraton Resort & Spa, Tokoriki Island in Fiji is at the SPG member rate of $144, also the lowest this year. Availability is great for this property, wide open for most dates. The better deal is the Tokoriki Retreat at $258, which often goes for $470. Beachfront, the adults-only 452 square foot suite has a private plunge pool.

The Le Méridien Munich is $105 for a few days this month and few days next month.

Le Méridien Al Aqah Beach Resort in Fujairah UAE is offering a low $93 rate for several days next week.

The Westin Excelsior in Florence is well-priced at an SPG member rate of $196 for March 30 and 31st.

Sheraton Pittsburgh Airport Hotel has a rate of $75 if you can stay the night of April 5.
