Last month we wrote about the transition from Hyatt to Hilton of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World network, now we know. the date of the switch off of the parthership between SLH and Hyatt: May 15.
In this article:
Obviously it will not be a painless move, on the one hand there are those who have reservations in place, those who will have stays in place, and most importantly there are thousands of travelers who will be impacted by this change for better or worse.
What happens to SLH reservations
The first thing is. Hyatt stated that all existing reservations, regardless of whether they occur before or after May 15, Will be honored.
There is one big "though." If you check in for your stay by May 15., you will still receive standard Hyatt partnership benefits such as free breakfast, credits for Elite nights. On the contrary for any stay starting after May 16, you will not get bonuses, points or other benefits.
To change a reservation after May 15, SLH will have to cancel the reservation and create a new one. Translated into words porvere stays booked with points cannot be changed from May 16 onward, for other reservations the same applies after May 16 perhaps it will be better to cancel reservations elsewhere if you want to accumulate points and qualifying nights in the World of Hyatt loyalty program.
In conclusion
As mentioned this change Will greatly help Italian and European customers in general interested in the program Hilton Honors given the large number of SLH facilities in the old continent. Obviously the opposite situation for those who instead aimed to SLH as a way to achieve elite status in World of Hyatt.
