Starwood Unveils New Loyalty Program Perks for Dedicated SPGers
Remember two years ago when we first got wind of this super-secret Starwood Ambassadors program? Well, it turns out the program is now going public.
Today Starwood unveiled a couple of big changes to their Starwood Preferred Guest loyalty program starting on March 1st which includes personal ambassadors for SPG members who have spent 100 nights annually in Starwood hotels.
Starwood’s ambassadors work one-on-one with guests to understand their preferences and what matters to them on each trip to deliver a customized experience on property. Ambassadors also provide services beyond the hotel and are even empowered to assist guests when they’re not traveling
SPG also introduced a new loyalty tier for the devoted SPGers--SPG Lifetime which gives guests who stay 250 total nights and who have maintained their elite status for five years (consecutive or not), a lifetime of SPG Gold status. Members who tally up 500 stays and who have maintained their elite status for ten years (consecutive or not), will become SPG Platinum for life.

Swissotels Have a New Loyalty Program, Swissotel Circle
There's only one Swissôtel in the United States (in Chicago) but if you're a frequent guest at these hotels in Europe and Asia, you'll be pleased to know the hotel chain has a new loyalty program--Swissôtel Circle. And even if you're not a frequent guest, we think the membership tiers will still give you a giggle.
That's because they are alpine-inspired--Inizia, Elevà and Zenit, giving you more perks for each level you climb, er, reach.
Guests reach the Inizia level as soon as they have stayed five nights at a Swissôtel. This level grants them personalized room preferences, priority waitlist status, complimentary access to spa and sport facilities as well as the hotel's Advantage Awards whcih can be exchanged for upgrade, free breakfast or free internet access.
The Elevà level is for those who do 20 nights in a Swissôtel in 12 months and gives them select benefits such as free breakfast, executive lounge access, free internet, 48 hours guaranteed room availability, and Premier Awards which can be exchanged for free room nights or dinner for two.

Black Level Masters of Omni Select Guest Can Now Test Drive a Tesla Roadster
The Standard New York might have softcore porn and the Ace New York might have Google Chromebooks but only the Omni Berkshire Place has the Tesla Roadster.
The electric supercar was brought to the hotel the other day as part of a special event that started in the Omni's Roger and Hammerstein suite (Note to self: must check this one out) and ended outside with an up close inspection of the green roadster.
While it was just select guests of Omni's Select Guest loyalty program who attend the special event, the car is available for hotel guests who earn Black level status (that takes about 20+ stays a year.)

To live up to the "Elite" in its name, membership is by invitation only; you must complete 15 stays or spend $10,000 through Expedia in a year and you'll automatically get entered into the program.

What's It Like Being a Stash Hotel Rewards Partner?
Hotel loyalty programs is a buzzy-buzz topic nowadays, and one that's setting itself apart from the Marriott and Hyatt pack is Stash Hotel Rewards. What makes Stash stand out is that it isn't doling out points for mega chains. Instead, the loyalty program targets independent boutique hotels.

So we turned to brand ambassador Scott Grigelevich of the Lenox Boston, which has been involved with Stash since its May launch.

What's There to Prefer About Preferred Hotels & Resorts?
The Huntley Hotel in Santa Monica, a member of Preferred Hotels and Resorts
We've been not-so-casually looking at the different hotel collections out there these days as an alternative for booking hotels. Often times, these collections have their own loyalty programs for guests as well as guaranteed perks just for booking through their sites.* These perks range from room upgrades to free breakfast and free WiFi, at no extra cost.
Recently, we've checked out Kiwi Hotels, Leading Hotels of the World and Epoque Hotels. And today, we're exploring the Preferred Hotels & Resorts collection, who we fell in like with last week after getting a sneak peek from them about the upcoming Redbury Hotel in Hollywood.
