World of Hyatt loyalty scheme expanded to 300 hotels

World of Hyatt members, who earn five points for every $1 spent on eligible rooms at Hyatt or Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH), can now collect at more than 300 hotels around the world.

Points can be exchanged for free nights, room upgrades, priority check-in and free amenities.

Participating hotels include Le Refuge de la Traye in the French Alps, Arima Hotel in the Basque region of San Sebastian, Vista Palazzo Lago di Como in Italy and Ksar Char-Bagh in Morocco.

“Since launching this alliance, many members have shared their positive experiences when staying at participating SLH properties around the globe and enjoying valuable World of Hyatt loyalty benefits,” said Amy Weinberg, World of Hyatt’s senior vice-president.

“This strategic alliance has grown at rapid pace and is a direct reflection of our commitment to caring for our members in more ways and places beyond our hotels.”

Jean-Francois Ferret, chief executive officer at Small Luxury Hotels of the World, added: “This strategic alliance has allowed us to significantly expand our brand awareness by sharing our distinct properties with more than 16 million World of Hyatt members.

“Our independently-owned hotels participating in this programme have seen immediate results and the benefits of sharing their vision with World of Hyatt members.”
