Hyatt has been on a buying spree trying to expand its hotel footprint. At the end of 2021, Hyatt significantly expanded its all-inclusive resort portfolio when it acquired Apple Leisure Group. It isn’t done filling in some of the gaps in the chain’s hotel map, as Hyatt acquired the brand and management platform of Dream Hotels, The Chatwal, and Unscripted Hotels brands from the Dream Hotel Group.
The deal includes current hotels plus twenty-four long-term management agreements for future openings.
Current properties include the following:
- The Chatwal New York
- The Chatwal Lodge
- Dream Nashville
- Dream Hollywood
- Dream Downtown
- Dream Midtown
- Dream South Beach
- Dream Bangkok
- Dream Phuket
- Unscripted Durham
After the acquisition, Hyatt addressed when the hotels would join the World of Hyatt program.
Coming Soon – World of Hyatt benefits. While most Dream Hotel Group properties are not yet participating in the World of Hyatt loyalty program, we are working to have them begin participating in World of Hyatt soon so that members will be able to earn and redeem points and receive benefits during their stays.
The Chatwal New York is now a part of JdV by Hyatt and you can earn points for stays and redeem points for free nights.
For the World of Hyatt nerds out there, the Unscripted hotels will join The Unbound Collection by Hyatt. Dream Hotels will become a new brand under the Boundless Collection, joining Andaz, Thompson Hotels and Hyatt Centric in that group. Of course, this means there’s one more option to earn a Brand Explorer free night.
I’m glad to see Hyatt is still expanding. While these hotels aren’t going to solve the problem of not being able to find a Hyatt in many locations, it will mean you’ll have a choice of two Hyatt brands instead of only one.
