Well, so much for my prediction.
Aug. 1 is here and no availability for SPG booking, plus no notice now of when booking will become possible. I guess there's progress in that the SPG and Libertador sites now list it as belonging to Starwood, but booking as an SPG hotel (along with points accrual, award redemptions, C+P) does not seem possible yet.
Lurkers, any idea of when we can start booking rooms as SPG and when this will otherwise become a full-fledged SPG property?
