Hyatt adds The Venetian and The Palazzo hotels in Las Vegas

Back in October, we reported that IHG, through its InterContinental brand, was ending its loose partnership with The Venetian and The Palazzo hotels in Las Vegas.

Both hotels were known as ‘InterContinental Alliance Resorts’ but did not use InterContinental in their names. Status benefits and other perks did not align with what you would receive at mainstream InterContinental properties.

Basically it was a way for IHG to get exposure to the Las Vegas market and for the Las Vegas hotels to get exposure to IHG One Rewards members.

Both resorts have now signed an agreement with Hyatt.

These are two large hotels – over 7,000 combined rooms – and represent a noticeable step for Hyatt. Even for a group of the size of IHG the loss represented 0.7% of global room count. They are the only ‘all suite’ hotels on the Strip.

It isn’t clear when the two resorts will join Hyatt. The IHG deal ends on 31st December.

Whilst the exact branding to be used remains unclear, Hyatt says that:

• you will be able to earn and redeem loyalty points on qualifying stays (an especially good deal for Globalist members who do not pay resort fees)

• you will earn credit toward the Brand Explorer award (which implies that these two hotels will be a standalone brand inside Brand Explorer)

• elite members will enjoy additional on-property benefits

In terms of what the resort has to offer:

The Venetian Resort Las Vegas features all-suite accommodations across The Venetian and The Palazzo.

The iconic resort’s experience is marked by a commitment to sophisticated play and light-hearted luxury, with world-class restaurants from celebrated chefs including Cote by Simon Kim, Bazaar Meat by José Andrés, and Southern California favorite Gjelina; the rejuvenating Canyon Ranch spa + fitness; a five-acre pool and garden deck inspired by the Italian Riviera including TAO Beach Dayclub, a Balinese-inspired tropical oasis; two landmark casinos and a poker room; Voltaire, a destination nightlife venue that blurs the lines between and intimate club and is home to the Queen of burlesque, Dita Von Teese; concert and non-stop entertainment including master illusionist Shin Lim; TAO Nightclub, and unparalleled retail experiences at Grand Canal Shoppes.

Hyatt recently lost its partnership with the MGM casino properties which switched to Marriott. This appears to be going well, with Marriott rebranding MGM’s Delano hotel in Las Vegas as a W as of yesterday.

Other big hotel groups have had mixed success – you had oddities like Radisson partnering with Treasure Island and Hilton signing up Virgin Hotels Las Vegas – itself rebranded from the failed Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas – as part of its Curio Collection.

We’ll let you know when the resorts become bookable via World of Hyatt.
