SPG Paradise Is Closer 35% Off Starpoints Awards At Select Resorts Through March 5, 2018 (Update With New Hotels)

Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG) relaunched back in May its “Paradise Is Closer” 35% off award promotion for stays through March 5, 2018 (read more here) and has now added three more very high end properties to the list.

You can save 35% off of awards at now eleven (previously eight) ridiculously priced (using Starpoints) hotels that don’t have “standard” accommodations available (suites only).

You can access this offer on SPG’s website here.

Here are the hotels available with their usual and discounted rates:

Conclusion

These are some of the most expensive and usually overpriced awards that you can find from SPG due to the “non-standard accommodations” clause that results jacking up the Starpoints rate to the skies.

SPG has now added three more properties to the discounted list that I mentioned earlier. First non-resort city hotel in Paris has made the list!
