Soon you will be able to redeem your Hyatt points for stays at SLH hotels!
A Press Release was issued today by World of Hyatt announcing a strategic loyalty alliance with Small Luxury Hotels of the World. What does this mean? According to the press release, the immediate goal of the alliance is to permit World of Hyatt members the opportunity to earn and redeem points during stays at participating SLH hotels when they book through Hyatt channels.
Many questions come to mind, including how many points will be required for an award booking, whether point and cash stays will be allowed, whether Hyatt member’s will be entitled to the benefits of their Hyatt elite tier, and whether such stays will count toward a Hyatt member’s elite qualification. According to the press release, the launch of this alliance is targeted for the end of the year.
