The free night certificates are valid for for stays at any SPG participating up to category 5 hotel and must be consumed by September 30, 2016.
Conclusion
Had I known about this promo day earlier, I could have stayed at the SPG participating Design Hotel tonight in Venice. Although there are more SPG participating Design Hotels now, they are still somewhat scarce.
Looking at my travel schedule until the end of May, I may be able to squeeze in nights in Singapore and Barcelona. There could be more SPG participating Design Hotels coming live before the end of this promo, however.
Design Hotels is a separate hotel “chain” of independent hotels that Starwood has majority owned already for couple of years. Some Design Hotels have decided to become SPG participating (not all though).
Here are the terms and conditions of this offer:
Eligible member must register by May 16, 2016, 11:59 p.m. EDT.
