Opening 2020. Why bother listing it?
I don't understand this, why even waste space listing such:


Four Points by Sheraton Coral Gables - Opening 2020

Aloft Aventura - Opening 2020


i understand making some hype a year our or so, but a decade+? that seems to be pushing it folks!

the aloft aventure site is amazing, looking for a job?! Apply in 2020 please...

I think it's just a glitch - should be 2011

HA No way it says 2020??????????????? That is funny.

Jeez I don't even get excited about the Olympics, presidential elections, or my retirement that far out.

Funny.

I hope it is a glitch for it is an Aloft and a 4 points for crying out loud.

It should be 2012 at max. xD
It's surely a glitch, unless they're planning to build it up with a team of 2 people.

Well, many of us remember when USAir announced that Dividend Miles could be used (eventually) for trips into SPACE! That announcement took the cake....no date for availability was ever given and precious few specifics.

The SPG for well over a year now had previously shown the Aventura property as opening in Dec 2010 .. I am pretty certain that the current listed date is a typographical error.

did starwood capital group delay some plans for building out here with economy? sure seems odd to change it by 10 years.

It takes time to create a buzz. People will be lining up a year in advance to be the first ones to check in...

Just as an FYI, all this really means is that the opening date is yet to be determined.

Seems "TBD" might be a little more logical?

Anyone else get the the feeling that there are people here who might claim to be busy travelling (a lot??) BUT instead seem to spend a whole lot of time ruminating about some really silly, trivial, unimportant and insignificant stuff?

Umm, I was looking to book a room in Miami when I found this, and I did not find one at a SPG property that I wanted. These showed up in my search for a room.

The data read to fill this information in online is in a calendar format, such as mm/dd/yyyy where numbers, not characters, have to be used. If you can figure out a way to make TBD appear in a numerical calendar format, I will be pleased to pass it along.

I was going to explain that some youngsters dream about their wedding date from a very young age but then I saw that they were 4pts. and Aloft.
