HOT OFF THE PRESS – The Integration of Standard and StandardX with World of Hyatt Begins Today!

In August 2024, Hyatt announced it’s planned acquisition of Standard International and its Iconic Hotel Brands, The Standard and Bunkhouse Hotels (see, UPDATE: New Hyatt Acquisition Announced: The Standard and Bunkhouse Hotels).

Since then, hotels belonging to the Standard family of hotels have appeared on the Hyatt website, with the caveat that booking at these hotels will not earn Hyatt points or credits. Well that is all changing finally.

I just got the news and I want to share it immediately. After a longish wait, the integration of Hyatt and The Standard Hotels is beginning – and World of Hyatt categories have been assigned to many of these hotels.

Starting today, members can begin earning and redeeming at participating The Standard and The StandardX hotels including:

 

May 7, 2025 (today)

• The Standard, Ibiza (Category 6)

 

May 14, 2025

• The Standard, London (Category 6)
• The Standard, High Line (Category 6)
• The Standard, East Village (Category 6)

 

May 21, 2025

• The Standard, Bangkok (Category 2)
• The Standard, Bangkok Riverfront (Category 2)
• The StandardX Melbourne (Category 3)
• The Standard Hua Hin (Category 3)
• The Standard, Maldives (Category 6)
• The Standard, Singapore (Category 5)

 

Opening Soon:

• The Standard, Pattaya (Category 3)
• The Standard, Brussels (Category 4)

 

Coming Soon: Stay tuned for when and how Bunkhouse Hotels will join World of Hyatt.

 

Check In, Stand Out – Earn Rewards

World of Hyatt members can enjoy earning and redeeming with all the program benefits they know and love at participating hotels:

• Earn 5 Base Points for every eligible dollar spent at participating The Standard and The StandardX hotels

• Get an extra 4 Bonus Points per eligible dollar as a World of Hyatt Credit Cardmember

• Work toward elite status and Milestone Rewards with every qualifying stay

• Unlock new perks through award chart participation and on-property elite benefits

• Explore three new brands including The Standard, The StandardX and Bunkhouse Hotels (coming soon) to unlock a Brand Explorer award
  

So, Ibiza is first up, beginning today, and London and the two New York City locations join next week. This is very exciting news, and opens up more choices for World of Hyatt members. I’m happy to see that the integration has begun and that, so far, none of the hotels are above a category 6. Based on the above, it appears that, once the integration takes place, elite members, such as Hyatt Globalists will receive all of the same benefits with Standard hotels as they do with World of Hyatt hotels.
