StarHot Rate at Sheraton Maldives
Booking under the StarHot Rate at the Sheraton Maldives, it states "ELIGIBLE FOR 50PERCENT F&B DISCOUNT UPON DINING IN RESTAURANTS."
I was checking to see if the hotel honors the 50% food and beverage discount. Also does this discount include alcohol?
Thanks.

50% on foods only
Hi,
We will be heading to whistler snowy mountain this weekend. Anyway we could use the starhot restaurant 50% only because there is no starhot rate for the hotel room.
thanks

Are award stays and STARhot rates eligible for elite benefits ?
Looking to book a room at Grand central Westin and trying to decide if I should let my friend book me a STARhot rate or if I should book an award stay and was wondering if either qualified for Gold benefits ?

Anything is possible, but not supposed to be.

I don't think STARHot rates are granted status benefits nor will you earn stay credits/points. That's considered the price for a cheap rate. If you need the benefits book it yourself.

I would hope SPG's attitude would be they are exceptionally cheap rates and should not earn loyalty credits too, rather than our employees/family/friends don't deserve loyalty credits... Just saying...

It's standard in the hospitality industry to not give elite status and benefits on special travel industry rates such as those made available to travel agents. The same is true for employee benefit rates; nonrev travel does not earn status or redeemable miles. Hotel employee/family/friends rates should be treated the same by SPG. Employees receive a different set of employee benefits, including certain travel privileges. Plus, do we really want to get into Sheena accusations when an employee on a STARHot rate is given a suite upgrade over a Plat paying a standard rate?
