What Is World of Hyatt?
A global hotel loyalty programme built around stays, points and elite recognition.
World of Hyatt is the guest loyalty programme of Hyatt Hotels Corporation, uniting participating hotels across five portfolios, from luxury names such as Park Hyatt, Alila, Miraval and The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, to lifestyle brands including Andaz, Thompson Hotels and The Standard, the all-inclusive resorts of the Inclusive Collection, and classics such as Grand Hyatt, Hyatt Regency and Hyatt Centric, spanning more than 1,500 hotels and all-inclusive properties in 83 countries. With 66 million members, it is also linked to American Airlines AAdvantage and, since July 2026, Air Canada’s Aeroplan.
Members can earn points through eligible hotel stays and spending, as well as selected partners and credit cards, then redeem those points for free nights, suite upgrades, wellbeing experiences and other rewards. As members stay more frequently, they can also progress through World of Hyatt’s elite tiers and Milestone Rewards, unlocking additional recognition and benefits across the portfolio.
