NEWLY ADDED HOTELS

Here is a list of the newly added SLH hotels:

Which ones look good to you?

Personally, I usually opt for the category 4s – as they are often the best bargain and World of Hyatt category 1-4 certificates can be used for free nights.

I also look to see what new cities and countries have been added. Interestingly, most of the newly added SLH properties are in regions where there were previously no Hyatt hotels, so this move is huge in terms of added footprint for the brand.
