Westin Phoenix Downtown Will Open March 10, Probably

Where: 333 N. Central Ave. [map], Phoenix, AZ, United States, 85004

If you're looking to celebrate can't-come-soon-enough spring, you could do it at the brand-spankin'-new Westin Phoenix Downtown, which will open next week, sort of.

Although the hotel's set for a March 10 opening, reservations are currently only being accepted starting March 17. When we called to ask whether that meant the hotel wasn't opening until then, we were told that no, they are pretty sure it'll open March 10 - but just to be certain, they aren't taking reservations yet. Although, the nice man said, within a couple of days, they should open up the 10th for booking. All being well. Let's hope they do, else someone's gonna have an empty hotel for the first week!

Anyways, rooms on March 17 officially start at $199 a night, but if you use the code "FMOPEN" when booking online, all of the rooms will cost $179, even those that originally cost more than $199 a night. Hotel loyalty points alert: If you stay there between March 25 and April 30, you'll earn double Starwood Preferred Guests Starpoints.

Loyalty Program News :: A Lofty Bonus for Staying at Aloft

Now that aloft hotels have officially opened, Starwood is offering members of the Starwood Preferred Guests Program a serious reward for booking with Aloft now through December 31st:

SPG members can earn an unprecedented 8 Starpoints for every U.S. dollar spent (quadruple the base earning) when they register and then book and stay at any Aloft hotel worldwide. Gold and Platinum members will continue to earn one additional bonus point based on their elite status bringing their earning to an incredible nine Starpoints for every U.S. dollar spent.

Some perspective: SPG members usually earn two points for every dollar spent at participating Starwood properties, so this is big. Points can be redeemed at 860+ hotels worldwide (with no blackout dates!), converted into miles on 30 airlines or used to bid on fun stuff from the SPG Moments program. Guests can register here.

The next Aloft to open is going to be the Aloft Rogers-Bentonville which starts accepting guests on July 3rd.
