Hyatt Adding Thompson Hotels Starting Today — Earn and Redeem Your Points at 9 More Properties

Last year, Hyatt announced their acquisition of Two Road Hospitality group which includes many hotel brands across the world — and a total of about 85 or so more Hyatt properties that would be integrated into the World of Hyatt program in 2019. At that time, there was no dates announced on when we would actually see those new hotels being added to portfolio, but it looks like today is the day! And to add to the excitement, Hyatt is running a promotion for staying at these new properties.

Two Road Hospitality group includes four different brands: Thompson Hotels, Joie de Vivre Hotels, Alila and Destination Hotels. They are adding the brands in a phased approach over the next few months, with the Thompson Hotel brand being added today. Next will come Joie de Vivre Hotels starting May 15th, and the two other brands are still TBD.

• Thompson Hotels (March 28, 2019)
• Joie de Vivre Hotels (May 15, 2019)
• Alila (coming soon)
• Destination Hotels (coming soon)

Overall…

I am glad to see Hyatt expanding it’s footprint, although the Thompson properties do not particularly excite me. I am mostly excited to see the Destination properties added to the mix eventually, but I am really hoping that they do not surpass the category 6 mark. I’ll be sure to write more about the other three brands integration when the time comes.
