Hyatt unveiled an alliance with upscale outdoor hospitality provider Under Canvas to offer stays at its 13 outdoor resorts. World of Hyatt members can now book their stays at Under Canvas camps and ULUM Moab through Hyatt to start earning and redeeming points.
“Travelers are looking for new and unique experiences to reconnect with nature in off-the-beaten-path locations,” said Mark Vondrasek, chief commercial officer, Hyatt. “By adding these luxury outdoor camps to World of Hyatt, we are bringing more memorable travel experiences for our guests and members. Hyatt offers one of the fastest-growing luxury portfolios globally and with the inclusion of these incredible Under Canvas camps in World of Hyatt, we continue to double down on this focus and bring immense value to our rapidly growing member base.”
Spread across destinations in the U.S., such as Montana’s Yellowstone National Park, Tennessee’s Great Smoky Mountains, Acadia National Park in Maine and Yosemite National Park in California (anticipated opening in May 2025), Under Canvas camps offer safari-inspired tents and complimentary programming such as nightly campfires with s’mores, board games, yoga and kid’s activities.
“Under Canvas is the leading outdoor resort company in the U.S., with 13 locations outside of national parks and adventurous destinations such as Acadia, Glacier, Moab, Yellowstone, Yosemite and Zion,” said Matt Gaghen, CEO, Under Canvas. “We’re looking forward to welcoming World of Hyatt members to our beautiful, safari-inspired camps so that they can experience true comfort in nature in these amazing destinations. This exciting collaboration with Hyatt will further our goal of connecting more people with extraordinary places, people, and the planet by enhancing access to the outdoors.”
Following the initial Mr & Mrs Smith integration of more than 700 global boutique and luxury hotels and resorts into World of Hyatt, select Under Canvas camps and ULUM Moab are also now part of the Mr & Mrs Smith platform. Hyatt is expected to make even more Mr & Mrs Smith hotels available for members to book through Hyatt channels by the end of the year.
