Hyatt

Mallorca is one of Spain's Balearic Islands and is a destination I've been looking to visit for quite some time but, up until reading the press release on this new property, I wasn't even aware that there was a Park Hyatt being constructed on the island.

There have been a number of hotel announcements already this year like the new Le Meridien in Rome, the new Andaz set for Vienna and a new Hyatt on Miami Beach but some of those are still a few years away from completion so it's hard to get too excited about them. Now, however, we have a slew of new hotels actually opening their doors and I'll be taking a look at a some of them over next few days. The first is the W Miami.

Hyatt has announced that it has entered into an agreement to purchase a 380-room Miami Beach property that will operate as part of its new Unbound Collection brand. This will be Hyatt's second Miami Beach property following the opening of the Hyatt Centric South Beach in the middle of 2015.

A quick round up of some of the hotel news I've noticed over the past few days with four of the big chains either announcing major new properties or, in the case of Starwood, opening new properties that should please their loyalty program members.

After having successfully matched my Marriott Platinum status to Hyatt Diamond status back in November, I was looking forward to seeing what top-tier status...

In part 1 of this 2-part series I took a look at the options open to those wishing to use their points to stay at Marriott, Hilton or IHG properties in the vacationer-friendly parts of Los Angeles. In this part I take a look at the options open to visitors with Hyatt, Starwood and Carlson Rezidor points burning holes in their pockets.

Now that Hyatt have been kind enough to match my Marriott Platinum status to Hyatt Gold Passport's Diamond status I'm looking forward to trying out a few of their properties in 2016. While undoubtably there will be a few stays at airport Hyatts and Hyatts that just happen to be in a location where I need a hotel for a night they're not what this blog post is about - instead I'm going to take a look at four Hyatt properties I'm hoping to visit in 2016, and they may not be the properties you were expecting.
