CHICAGO—Hyatt Hotels Corporation is entering the home-sharing space through an extension of the World of Hyatt loyalty program.
Starting today, members can earn and redeem World of Hyatt points with Oasis, a provider of serviced home rental accommodations that offers more than 2,000 personally vetted homes across more than 20 destinations worldwide, according to the company.
“With the World of Hyatt loyalty program now extending to Oasis, we can serve our members in more dimensions of their lives when their travel needs extend beyond a hotel—whether it’s because they’re traveling with a larger group and need more space, have a longer stay in mind, or want to stay in a local neighborhood,” said Amy Weinberg, SVP, World of Hyatt.
The move is part of the brand’s commitment to serving the high-end traveler with new experiences in more places.
Oasis combines the comforts of a home with hotel-like amenities, including in-person check-in, linens, luxury toiletries, WiFi and on-demand concierge services. Additionally, Oasis’ global operations expands Hyatt’s footprint in many markets where Hyatt is currently underrepresented or not yet represented, including Barcelona, Spain; Ibiza; Punta del Este, Uruguay; Rome; and Trancoso, Brazil.
“Sometimes our members’ travel needs go beyond a hotel, whether it’s because they’re traveling with a larger group, have a longer stay in mind, need more space or want to stay in a local neighborhood. But we understand that they also want the peace of mind, personalized service and loyalty benefits they expect from experiences backed by Hyatt,” said Weinberg. “As we continue focusing on super-serving our guests across more dimensions of their lives, this Oasis collaboration is an important step in understanding how we can serve our members in new ways and in new places.”
Oasis home rentals are part of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand, which was designed to be a collection of distinctive experiences worth sharing, not just hotels. Offering upper-upscale and luxury properties that have distinctive characteristics, rich history, exclusive locations, notable architecture, design and more, The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand now includes hand-picked home rentals with the reassurance that comes from Hyatt.
“Oasis was built on the idea of bringing high-quality standards, design and service to the world of home rentals, so it’s a natural progression to offer World of Hyatt members a new way to travel, without sacrificing the high standards to which they are accustomed,” said Parker Stanberry, founder of Oasis. “Hyatt is the industry leader when it comes to offering genuine and trusted travel experiences, so we’re thrilled to participate in the World of Hyatt program.”
