Hyatt Adds Thompson and Joie de Vivre Hotels as Loyalty Partners
Skift Take
Portions of Hyatt's recent Two Roads acquisition are already getting incorporated into World of Hyatt, which should delight loyalty program members.
Hyatt is once more expanding the portfolio of properties in its World of Hyatt loyalty program. Hyatt last week added eight Thompson Hotels to World of Hyatt, giving loyalty members the ability to earn and redeem points at the properties around the world. In May, it plans to add the spectrum of Joie de Vivre hotels while other brands will get added later in the year.
World of Hyatt's expansion comes as part of the hotel group's recent acquisition of Two Roads Hospitality, a move that added some 85 properties to the boutique operator's portfolio. Though the acquisition was only announced in the fourth quarter of 2018, Hyatt was quick to ingest at least some of the properties and release them into World of Hyatt in the first quarter of this year.
