SPG Hot Escapes Great Picks for February 25, 2015
SPG’s Hot Escapes list came out this morning. Last week there was a slim group of only 28 properties available so it is good to see so many more offered this week.
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.

Westin San Francisco Airport is at $113, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights throughout March.
Westin San Diego Gaslamp Quarter has a listed SPG member rate of $141, but I could only find $151 on the 1st and 2nd of March.
Back in October the Westin Europa & Regina in Venice was at $260, now it has a great rate of $216 for the first week of March and a few other days as well.
Westin Excelsior in Florence is at $209 for the 30th and 31st of March.
In November the Le Meridien Munich was at $146, this week it drops to $129 for a handful of days in March.
Hotel Kämp in Helsinki Finland is at $161 for March 20 and 21st.
If you’re looking for an Airport hotel in Brussels this week you’re in luck – the Sheraton Brussels Airport hotel has a SPG member rate of $83 for this Friday and Saturday (27th & 28th).
The Le Meridien Chiang Mai in Thailand is a steal at $86 a night.
Bali has five properties on offer this week.
Don’t be fooled by the low $85 rate listed for the Great Wall Sheraton Hotel Beijing as it is only for tonight. The rate then goes up to $112, which is $14 higher than it was back in October.
The Ajman Saray in the UAE is at $109 for the 15th of March only.
Le Méridien N’Fis has a member rate of $77 a night, available for 8 days in March.
Egypt has five properties on offer this week.
The Maldives is a gorgeous place to visit, but indeed expensive. It is hard to believe that anyone would pay the high price of $1193 a night even if it is 20% off their regular rate. A much more reasonable option is to look to other chains for redemption such as Hyatt GP points for the Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa
Sheraton Amman Al Nabil Hotel is offered at $158 the first weekend of March and then each Thursday, Friday and Saturday the rest of the month it rises to $161.
