Trying to select from some interesting properties in Asia and some of the Alila properties are high in my list. These are a Design Hotels brand... and the trip is in April. I'm assuming there's no SPG opportunities (wife is Platinum), but I figured I'd ask if there's any rumblings of more hotels being announced?

When design hotels announced they'd team up with SPG I signed up to their newsletter and I received the following email:
"Hotels should be unique and surprising, but not the benefits you get for staying in those hotels. At Design Hotels™ consistency counts. That’s why, for being a Design Hotels™ Community Member, you will now get consistent VIP treatment at every one of our hotels. Book a stay at any Design Hotels™ property and you will receive complimentary WiFi, an upgrade at check-in (upon availability), a late check-out (upon availability), and a complimentary bottle of water each day for each guest. Yes, at every one of our hotels. Enjoy benefits that are consistent – and unique to Design Hotels™."
A bit annoying to see that one can book a rate which includes benefits which SPG should have ensured would be offered to platinum guests.
I hope we see additional properties joining SPG soon, it has been a while since the last one's were added.

I just received an email from Design Hotels that said:
"Design Hotels™ Community
presents
A Welcome Reward
Introducing a new loyalty program
We hope you’ve had fun making the most of our Miles & More promotion. But now with the New Year at hand, we’re in the mood for change. As of Jan. 1, 2016, instead of offering you Miles & More award miles when you book a room, we invite you to earn, redeem, and enjoy Starwood Preferred Guest benefits with select Design Hotels™ around the globe. But Miles & More fans fear not—for stays through Dec. 31, 2015, Miles & More award miles will still be rewarded (Note: The miles can take up to eight weeks from your stay to be credited to your account). Stay tuned for more info about SPG, and keep your eye out as more and more of our member hotels are joining the program."

There was also a hotel in London and one in Sydney. These are I believe the four hotels that haven't gone live yet.
Things have really slowed down, hopefully many more will continue to join.
