Planning a trip with miles & points can be tricky, especially for folks new to the hobby. Because sometimes it’s hard to figure out how many points you’ll need for a specific hotel.
So I decided to make a list of all the Category 1 Starwood hotels, organized by region and country.
It’s easier to use than using Starwood’s site. 😉
Let’s take a look at the list. And how many points you’ll need for a free night.
