The EMEA sale that some Hyatt properties were teasing last week is now live and covers stays at Hyatt properties in Europe, the Middle East, India, and Africa. Effectively, this is the same sale that we saw running last October only it covers a noticeably shorter stay period.

Quick Thoughts

I’ve had a quick look at sale pricing at a number of properties across the regions that the sale covers and it’s clear that the value on offer can vary significantly.

At some properties (like the Grand Hyatt Dubai), the sale price is often not even the cheapest rate available…

…but elsewhere the sale can come in very useful.

The discounts at properties like the Hotel du Louvre in Paris and the Hyatt Regency – The Churchill in London are worth having even if the savings (based on the next cheapest rate) aren’t exactly spectacular…

…and you should also find decent savings at properties like the Andaz Delhi…

…and the Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi:

Because the savings that Hyatt is advertising are based on the ‘standard rate’ and not the cheapest rate that any given property may be offering, you’re unlikely to find a booking where the discount you’re being given is 30% of the best rate available, so set your expectations accordingly. Most of the discounts that I’ve seen represent a saving of between 17% and 20% on the next best available rate.

Having said that, it’s important to note that the savings on offer in this sale can get better if you don’t have Hyatt Globalist status but enjoy having breakfast at your hotel. All guests booking the private sale rate get complimentary breakfast included, and if you’re staying at a property with a particularly good or fun restaurant or bar, the 20% discount on dining may come in useful too (as long as the restaurant isn’t classified as a specialty restaurant or is operated by a 3rd party vendor).

Don’t forget that the terms and conditions clearly state that the bookings made under the sale rates can be cancelled at no charge up to 72 hours prior to your scheduled arrival date so there’s very little risk or downside to making a speculative booking (or two) if you need some time to find flights that work for you.

Bottom Line

Hyatt has launched a limited-time sale in which it’s offering 30% off its standard rate at properties in Europe, the Middle East, India, and Africa and it’s including breakfast for two in the sale rate too. All participating properties are also offering up 20% off on-site dining (except where the on-site restaurant/eatery is classified as a specialty restaurant or where it’s operated by a 3rd party vendor) so the savings on offer go further than just the room rates.
