Hyatt Hotels Corporation announced today that World of Hyatt members can now earn and redeem points at Bunkhouse Hotels. For those of you that aren’t familiar with the brand, Bunkhouse Hotels is known for its unique portfolio of properties in Texas and Mexico.
Each hotel is unique but the brand has its own atmosphere which is brought to life by live music, poolside bar-b-ques, retail offerings that spotlight local makers and artisans, and more.
World of Hyatt Members Can Now Earn and Redeem Points at Bunkhouse Hotels
Bunkhouse Hotels is part of Hyatt’s Lifestyle collection alongside brands like Andaz, Thompson, The Standard, and me and all hotels. This is a category the company has been growing in recent years, with Hyatt purchasing Standard International, the parent company of The Standard and Bunkhouse Hotels brands, last year.
Amar Lalvani, President & Creative Director of Hyatt’s Lifestyle Portfolio, had this to say about the addition of Bunkhouse Hotels to the World of Hyatt program:
“Bunkhouse Hotels are nothing short of beloved in the communities they serve. We are excited to introduce these one-of-a-kind properties to our World of Hyatt members who I am positive will fall in love with them just as we have.”
Bunkhouse Hotels will be joining World of Hyatt in phases. As of now, the following properties are available for members to earn and redeem:
- Houston, Texas: Hotel Saint Augustine (Category 6)
- Austin, Texas: Hotel Saint Cecilia (Category 7); Hotel San José (Category 5); Austin Motel (Category 5); Carpenter Hotel (Category 5)
- Todos Santos, Mexico: Hotel San Cristobal (Category 7)
