Yesterday, Hyatt announced the integration of the Bunkhouse Hotels into the World of Hyatt program. Members can now earn and redeem at 7 Bunkhouse Hotels located in the United States and Mexico, with another location set to open soon.
Earlier this year, Hyatt integrated The Standard and StandardX Hotels into its loyalty program. These acquisitions, along with the Bunkhouse Hotels, have brought in a total 17 new properties so far, with more coming soon. This has helped the company increase its Lifestyle portfolio and its relatively small footprint.
I like this addition. The Bunkhouse Hotels offer unique stays in unique properties in select locations that are pretty hard to find in other parts of the Hyatt portfolio.
The new properties available for World of Hyatt members are the following:
- Hotel Saint Augustine (Category 6)
- Hotel Saint Cecilia (Category 7)
- Hotel San José (Category 5)
- Austin Motel (Category 5)
- Carpenter Hotel (Category 5)
- Hotel San Cristobal (Category 7)
- Hotel San Fernando (Category 4)
As with any new Hyatt brand, this is an opportunity to check off another brand for the Hyatt Brand Explorer reward, which gives you a free category 1-4 free night award for every five brands stayed.
Additionally, World of Hyatt is making four FIND experiences via auctions using points as they introduce the Bunkhouse Hotels brand.
