News, Tips & Tricks
Starwood Hotels has decided to accept the new bid for them
from the Chinese firm Anbang that we told you about not too long ago!
This is huge news as for months we have been talking about Marriott’s
takeover of Starwood. It isn’t over for Marriott however, they have 5
days to make a counter bid for Starwood and speculation is that they
will come up with a new offer! Those loyal to Starwood and more
importantly the Starwood Preferred Guest program will be keeping a close
on this and keeping their fingers crossed that Starwood goes with
Anbang as the beloved SPG would remain and not be integrated into
Marriott Rewards, I know that’s what I’m hoping for! (Source CNBC)
To further promote the integration of Design Hotels into Starwood and
SPG, you can earn a Category 1-5 free night award for completing three
nights at Design Hotels. The nights do not need to be consecutive and
once achieved you’ll get the free night award that you can use at any
Category 1 to 5 hotel (try for 5 of course!) until September 30th. Find out more here
