Hyatt expands rewards program with inclusion of select Standard hotels

Hull notes that while most Standard hotels adhere to the Hyatt award chart, some properties do not follow typical suite upgrade rules. She states that at certain locations like New York City’s High Line hotel "you won't be able to use Globalist suite upgrades or a fixed number of points to secure suites when available."

Additional benefits experienced during the stay included waived fees for those staying on points and bonus point earnings through incidental charges placed on a World of Hyatt Credit Card. Hull shared that they received "a 4 p.m. late checkout" due to their Globalist status.

A notable perk for Globalist members is complimentary breakfast. At The Standard Grill in New York City’s High Line location, options included eggs Norweigan and Gruyere-and-bacon quiche with up to $120 daily breakfast cost covered by Globalist status.

Overall, Hull expressed satisfaction with the integration between World of Hyatt and Standard Hotels stating she was "absolutely thrilled by the way" both entities combined their strengths.
