Hyatt hotels and World of Hyatt occupy a soft spot in the hearts of many TPG staffers.
The one Achilles heel was that Hyatt simply didn’t have as many properties in certain destinations as its peers. However, Hyatt’s been on a growth spurt lately, growing its overall portfolio by hundreds of properties through acquisitions of smaller luxury and lifestyle brands, including Thompson Hotels, Joie de Vivre, a partnership with Small Luxury Hotels of the World and more.
And now, thanks to these deals, plus an existing slate of brands that group independent, boutique-style hotels under one family, Hyatt has hundreds of properties around the world you might never even know are part of the chain. Best of all, you can earn and redeem points and experience valuable elite benefits at all of these properties.
All eyes will be on the nation’s capital this year.
For one, it will welcome a spate of new points hotel openings such as the Kimpton Banneker Hotel in Dupont Circle (spring 2021) and, from Choice, the Cambria Hotel Washington, D.C. Capitol Riverfront.
Luxury and boutique brands have also announced exciting developments, such as The Dupont Circle, which emerged from top-to-toe renovations in mid-October and the six townhouses at the Rosewood Washington, D.C., which opened late last month. There’s even the Hotel Zena, a Viceroy Hotels & Resorts property that opened in October and was designed to celebrate both the accomplishments of and empowerment of women.
