Pedal your way to a Park Hyatt award redemption? It seems Hyatt is making that possible.
The hotel company behind brands like Park Hyatt, Andaz and Thompson Hotels rolled out a program Wednesday that allows World of Hyatt members the ability to earn points when they use Peloton equipment at participating hotels. The Peloton partnership will mean more than 800 Hyatt properties will be outfitted with fitness equipment by year's end.
If you're hoping to earn enough points from back-to-back Cody Rigsby classes to redeem on a Park Hyatt Kyoto getaway, don't clip into those pedals quite yet. There aren't too many specifics yet on when Peloton will be integrated for earning points. Hyatt's release notes loyalty members should "stay tuned" as to when the integration will kick off and allow riders to earn points on qualifying Peloton Bike or Peloton Row workouts.
World of Hyatt members new to Peloton can enjoy a free 60-day trial of the Peloton app, as well as special offers on Peloton equipment.
Additionally, guests won't necessarily have to leave their hotel room to enjoy a Peloton workout: More than 400 participating hotels will offer curated Peloton workouts via in-room TVs. The non-equipment-based Peloton classes will also be offered to conference and corporate meeting attendees; however, it isn't clear if the non-equipment-based classes will also be included in the points earning.
"Hyatt takes pride in setting a new standard of wellbeing for travel with new collaborations, products and experiences across our global portfolio that invite guests to lean into the transformative power of travel," TJ Abrams, Hyatt's vice president of well-being, said in a statement. "Dedicated to caring for our guests and members so they can be their best, Hyatt is coming together with Peloton as the first hospitality brand with plans to reward its members for workouts at participating hotels everywhere Peloton operates."
While Hyatt is sparse on what the points earnings will look like per workout, this is a compelling reward in Hyatt's favor. Hilton made a splash in 2022 over plans to park a Peloton bike in nearly every Hilton-associated hotel in the U.S.; however, guests don't earn Hilton Honors points from pedaling as they would with World of Hyatt points at a competing Hyatt property down the road.
Hyatt's plan for the Peloton bike partnership is to install bikes at Hyatt hotels where Peloton operates, including those in the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria and Australia. Select luxury and lifestyle hotels in the U.S. will also get the Peloton Row machine.
"With Hyatt, we are enabling new audiences to experience Peloton's cutting-edge technology and world-class content for themselves, and giving existing

A British railway station can be many things. A place of tended flowers and toytown paintwork. A concourse of shuttered ticket booths and overpriced pasties. A terminus, a meeting spot, a gateway to escape. It can be heart-lifting or drab, bathed in birdsong or heaving with commuters. It can also be the starting point for a properly good walk.
