1_-_excelsior_hotel_gallia_a_luxury_collection_hotel

All the best things in life can be free.

That is, if you know where to look, and how to get them.

I started learning about how to book luxury hotels with points because I was broke.

I wanted the best in life, but couldn’t afford it, so I had to teach myself how to get the finer things in life.

In this article, I list out the best hotels, and how you can book them with points.

If you’re interested in learning more about how to acquire SPG points (or airline points in general), keep reading through, I’ve got a link to my getting started guide.

Hope you enjoy your next luxury stay thanks to Life, Tailored.
