Why is Hyatt Diamond status the best hotel elite status?
In short, free breakfast, Diamond Suite upgrades, early check-in, late check-out, and free in-room Wi-Fi.
And now as a Hyatt Diamond member you can pass on your benefits to friends and family, get free airport lounge access, and premium in room Wi-Fi.
Guest of Honor
Beginning on March 1, 2015, if you have Hyatt Diamond status, you can book a points night for someone else and they get Diamond privileges based on your membership, even if you’re not staying at the hotel.
So now instead of booking rooms for friends and family and also listing yourself on the reservation, you can simply book a room for them. Easy peasy.
But, this only applies to Hyatt rooms booked on points and not to paid stays or Points + Cash bookings.
This is great for those of us with families. Now we can book two rooms and get Hyatt Diamond benefits (free breakfast, lounge access, early check-in, late check-out, and free in-room Wi-Fi) for both rooms.
I’m so looking forward to this new benefit. We stayed at the Grand Hyatt Kauai last year in one room. Thankfully, the rooms are big.
But, one room for 2 adults and 2 teenage boys. I probably don’t need to elaborate.
Free Airport Lounge Access
You get two United Club passes each year which can be used at any United Club location.
United Club airport lounges offer free snacks, free Wi-Fi, and free bar service. Plus there’s usually plenty of outlets so you can recharge all your electronics before your flight.
This benefit begins on March 1, 2015, so watch for your United Club passes in the mail.
Premium Wi-Fi
This month Hyatt rolled out free Wi-Fi to all Hyatt hotels.
Starting February 14, 2015, Hyatt Diamond and Platinum members will get free premium Wi-Fi. So now you can spend less time waiting for websites to load and more time getting work done (or reading Facebook, tweeting on Twitter, posting to Instagram.)
