CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) today announced that World of Hyatt members can now earn and redeem World of Hyatt loyalty points at participating Bunkhouse Hotels. Renowned for its distinctive portfolio of hotels in Texas and beyond, Bunkhouse Hotels are celebrated for their sense of place and meticulous attention to detail with regard to design, music, and community-driven events. While each property has its own unique character, these shared values cross through all Bunkhouse Hotels, brought to life by live music, poolside bar-b-ques, retail offerings that spotlight local makers and artisans, and much more.

This milestone follows the integration of The Standard and The StandardX brands into the World of Hyatt portfolio in May. Further advancing Hyatt’s position as an industry leader in lifestyle hospitality, the addition of the Bunkhouse Hotels brand offers World of Hyatt members access to extremely special experiences in sought after destinations from Texas to Mexico.
