The Starwood 100

ByEdward Pizzarello

Starwood Hotels, IMO, is the best hotel loyalty program out there. It’s my chain of choice whenever I travel. I’m sure there are quite a few people who won’t find this interesting, but I set a goal to stay at 100 Starwood properties worldwide. This would, by no means, be a record, based on some of the other travelers I know. But, here’s what I think is my complete list of 58 properties. Still a good ways to go, but there’s some really great properties mixed in with some dogs.

My goal in life is to fill my family’s passports with stamps, creating buckets of memories along the way. You’ll find me writing about realistic ways for normal people to travel the world, whether you’re on a budget or enjoy luxury. I also enjoy taking us on the occasional detour to explore the inner workings of the travel industry.
