Do you love staying in the hotel Hyatt? There is good news: the famous hotel chain has welcomed into its portfolio. Twenty new Small Luxury Hotels of the World. Since Hyatt and SLH announced their partnership several years ago, properties around the world have been added to the group at a steady pace (12 in early 2021 alone).
As of last July, 20 more hotels part of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World circuit have joined Hyatt's "big family." What this means. That members of the World of Hyatt loyalty program can book and pay for them using their status and points. They will not enjoy the standard World of Hyatt benefits, but they can enjoy benefits such as:
- free breakfast
- Free Wi-Fi
- 12:00 p.m. check-in and 2:00 p.m. check-out
