SPG Hot Escapes Great Picks for April 30, 2015

SPG’s Hot Escapes came out yesterday, and here are some properties I think are especially well-priced.

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.

San Diego’s US GRANT hotel is well-priced for the nights of May 10th and 25th, when it falls down to $179.

W New York Times Square we saw a lower rate early in January, but an SPG member rate of $174 is still great. It’s only available for the night of May 25 (Memorial Day), which may work out well for some.

If you’ve wanted to stay at The Equinox, a Luxury Collection Golf Resort & Spa in Vermont today offers a great rate of $185.

Looking for a layover hotel on the 3rd of May near London Heathrow? The Sheraton Heathrow is offered at $77.

Sheraton Milan Malpensa Airport Hotel & Conference Centre is my favorite option when on a layover in Milan. Click here to read my review on the property. The hotel is on offer at a decent rate for a handful of dates in May – $110.

Le Méridien Koh Samui Resort & Spa was offered back in November at $124 so this week’s offer of $142 is a bit higher. Availability is pretty good though.

Vana Belle in Koh Samui has about a dozen dates at $312 which is lower than we’ve seen for a while, and the St. Regis Osaka has an SPG member rate of $150 for the 31st of May.
