Yep! Both Zagreb properties are included (Sheraton and Westin, but you couldn't pay me enough to stay at the Sheraton. The Westin on the other hand, has one of my favourite standard rooms ever - the business suite or whatever they call it. Just love that place! Also fantastic service - staff there remembered me after years! My colleague was there last week, and they even asked him where I was! Made my day. )

Wishful thinking, I know - I was banking on LM Split

I have a spg hot escapes booking for a hotel in orlando in oct, it is fully prepaid but have now decided we want to stay longer, can I add the extra nights stay onto this booking or do I have to make a separate reservation for the extra nights.

The PA bangkok is showing 4500++ and an awesome member-only Hot Escape rate of 4560++ on Aug 6.
If you want a better deal look at Aug 13 where it's 4200++/4260++ respectively.
Yes indeed, book the Hot rate and pay more.

The term Hrvatska is now gone, Croatia it is, and as a result the dropdown is now working in Firefox. Many thanks to the UX team!

Different Rates Between Calendar and www.spg.com
I wonder if this is a known issue. I saw a good rate on spghotescapes calendar but when I clicked on it the rate jumped. Why?
It redirected to www.spg.com for booking but it showed a much higher rate. Is the rate calendar in www.spghotescapes.com broken?

This could be a currency change issue. If it isn't, name the property and the dates and we'll be glad to look into it.

Mystery solved. It turned out to be an occupancy issue. The Hot Escapes rate calendar shows Single rates, I chose Double when I clicked through. For Westin Excelsior Florence, Double rates are about $100/night higher than Single.

Am I correct in assuming that SPG Hot Escapes rates will give me credit as usual for nights and/or stays?
In other words, these are not like the rates we get at third-party sites such as Hotels.com or Priceline.com, correct?
