Regular readers of Loyalty Traveler may understand why I am excited about the W Amsterdam opening last week.

SPG Hot Escapes are out with a very limited selection of 64 hotels on this week’s October 28 list. Two hotels catch my eye this week as good value for my Asia escape on a $389 Delta Airlines ticket SJC-KUL I bought last April. St. Regis Singapore is $239 on weekend nights – Friday, Saturday…
When I logged into my SPG account today I was greeted with an offer for 7,500 bonus points after three hotel stays between October 1 and December 31, 2015. This is the second time I have received this offer in 2015. This has been a year of burning hotel points for most of my stays.…

Starwood Hotels rumors have been in the trade news the past few months with speculation the hotel chain may be bought out by IHG or Wyndham. Jeff Higley, editorial director of Hotel News Now, has a different solution. Starwood Hotels brands are purchased by different hotel companies to beef up their brand segments. There are…
There are 128 hotels on SPG Hot Escapes June 17 edition posted today. The 64 hotels posted for the USA surprised me at so many hotels with fairly low rates. Of course, some of these hotels may only have the low rate for one date over the next six weeks, but you might find a…
