Hyatt Prive RE-launch - All Prive POSTS HERE PLEASE
Hi all - not sure if this has been discussed here (did a search, couldn´t find anything, so if mods want to move this ´that´s obviously OK).
Hyatt Prive has been relaunched after it was essentially dead-on-arrival in 2013.
There are now 146 participating hotels, all of which would be considered ´luxury´ properties by most standards.
Prive amenities are included on any BAR rate booked by a PRIVE agent. For most agents out there, simple hotel bookings are a complimentary service, so it may make sense for any consumer to go this route, regardless of status.
Included amenities:
· Guest welcome letter and Welcome amenity
· Early check-in/out, connecting room (if required) and room upgrade - confirmed within 24-hours after requesting it (these requests given priority above all other rate codes)
· Full breakfast for Two
· Property Credits from $50 to $100 per stay, varies by hotel
You´ll also get a response to any special benefits requests within 24 hours, by rule.
Participating brands include: Park Hyatt, Grand Hyatt, Hyatt Regency, Andaz, Unbound Collection
Amenities can be stacked with Hyatt status, you´ll still receive your points and any promo/bonus you may be enrolled in, and your status is still recognized. In other words - again - Prive and status = entirely stackable.
Many of you diamonds will likely say ´I get most of this stuff already via status´ - which is categorically true. That said, if the rate makes sense, the property credit alone makes a Prive rate worthwile. Furthermore, the upgrade is a killer perk, as it should save you having to use a suite upgrade cert. in many cases.
Just an FYI for all you Hyatt junkies out there

There are a number of such agents on FT, so shouldn´t be too hard to do this. Most of us (but not all) handle simple hotel bookings without a fee. Quite a simple process really, and any competent agent can have this done for you - from request to confirmation - in under 20min.
Please note that just because someone is a luxury travel advisor/travel agent doesn´t mean they can book Prive rates. As stated above, they must be a member of this particular Preferred Partner program.

1. Citi Prestige can´t book it. This isn´t compatible with Citi Prestige / free night promos. This must be booked via a Prive agent on a flex rate/BAR.
2. Prive rates are equal to BAR - Best Available Rate - which I believe in Hyatt speak is the ´Hyatt Daily Rate´ (not a Hyatt junkie so someone tell me if I´m wrong here as to the terminology). BAR = the lowest FLEX rate (we´re not talking about advanced purchase rates here).
3. I´m not sure if this list is open to the general public, as I´m logged in as a Prive travel agent, but you can try this link: https://www.hyatt.com/prive/exploreHotels
There are 146 participating hotels. I believ ALL Park Hyatts participate, most Andaz participate, and a good amount of Hyatt Regency, Grand Hyatt, and Unbound participate.
For those who are familiar, this is Hyatt´s version of Four Seasons Preferred Partner, Mandarin Oriental Fan Club, etc.
And yes, this is a great way to NOT chase 60nts, not obsess over your upgrade clearing, etc etc.

And does something like breakfast combine? So instead of 2 adults and 2 children, I can cover another 2 adults?

Thanks MichelinMan!
Would it be possible to post the list of properties?
(i assume it is not a secret... )
it seems far more extensive than fhr/virtuoso hyatt offering and should offer a good value especially on 1-2 nt stays like weekend getaways...
