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.

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.
