News, Tips & Tricks
Starwood Preferred Guest has released their annual hotel award night category changes. Per the SPG representative on FlyerTalk:
"Just over 22% of hotels are changing category; of these, 10.49% are moving up and 11.78% are moving down including some favorites such as The St. Regis Rome, The Westin Kaanapali Ocean Resort Villas, Maui, W Paris – Opera, and others."These changes take effect on March 10th so we reiterate the old addage that you should try to book award nights (if you have planned any) for hotels going up before the 10th while those that are going down you should wait if possible to book after that date. I am very happy to see one of my favourites, the Westin Ka'anapali Ocean Resort Villas go down! Closer to home, 2 Canadian properties are moving up Four Points by Sheraton Prince George (Cat 3 to 4) and the Four Points by Sheraton Waterloo - Kitchener Hotel & Suites (Cat 2 to 3) while 15 (that's right 15!!!) hotels in our beautiful country move down a category. Some highlights of those 15 are The Westin Ottawa, Le Meridien Versailles, and the Le Westin Resort & Spa, Tremblant. You can view the entire list of hotel changes here.
