Hyatt to acquire Standard hotels?
Bloomberg reports that talks between Hyatt and Standard Hotels have reached advanced stages regarding Hyatt’s purchase of the boutique brand. Hyatt has been on a spending spree recently, trying to increase its footprint as it is lower than the other major brands, particularly in Europe. It’s most recent partnership was with Mr and Mrs Smith which you can read about here.
Standard Hotels has properties in Ibiza, London, the Maldives, Melbourne, Miami, New York, and more. I am not a huge fan of them as I find their quirky style a bit jarring but I know lots of people that love them.
50% off luxury London hotel
I have written before about the Disloyalty scheme, which is a paid loyalty scheme that gives some potentially substantial benefits if your plans fit in with their new hotels openings. The scheme covers a number of luxury hotel groups such as SLS, Mondrian, SO/ The Hoxton and Hyde.
Members benefits:
- 50% off just-opened hotels (currently 14 hotels available with the discount)
- 20% off first-time stays
- 10% off all return visits
- 10% off all food & drink
- 365 free barista-made drinks
There is a new Hyde hotel due to open on 2 September, Hyde London City which has 50% off. Given the crazy prices of hotels in the capital, this could be worth considering. The scheme costs £12 a month or £144 a year. The hotel is situated by the Old Bailey in a Grade II historic building. The hotel will have a cocktail bar, Black Lacquer, in the basement with its own curated vinyl library and a Turkish restaurant.
A 50% discount applies on stays from 2nd September – 2nd December 2024.
