SPG Hot Escapes Great Picks for June 3, 2015

Happy Wednesday! SPG’s Hot Escapes came out this morning. Here’s the entire list of properties with rates good for the next six weeks, and down below I’ve included what I think 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.

Going to take a cruise out of Fort Lauderdale in the next six weeks? The Sheraton Fort Lauderdale Airport and Cruise Port hotel has four dates early on at a low $76 rate, and than for the next five weeks the price hovers around $80-$83.

The Westin St John Villas offer a 20% savings with dates next week at $283.

The Westin St John Resort is also on the list this week, at $247 though just for the night of June 28, 2015.

The Sheraton Heathrow Hotel in London is offered at $65 for a handful of dates in June and one in early July. That’s a 30% savings, quite good if you just need a hotel during an overnight layover.

The Sheraton Zurich hotel is lower than we have seen since November, with a rate of $136 (21% savings) on a handful of weekends.

Availability at the Sheraton Hua Hin Pranburi Villas is wide open at $169, which is about $25 higher per night than we’ve seen in the last six months but still a decent deal.

The Westin Resort Nusa Dua is a familiar property on this list, and is again being offered at $119 a night with very good availability in June.

In Cambodia, the Le Méridien Angkor has a member rate of $80, though just on the 4th and 8th of June.

Australia has a handful of properties on the list this week.

Sheraton Mirage Resort & Spa Gold Coast has a rate of $125 (35% savings), which you’ll find available through June 18.

Sheraton Mirage Port Douglas Resort in Queensland Australia has an outstanding rate of $120 for Friday the 19th of June, which is the lowest we’ve seen this property at since early 2014.
