You can pedal your way to more World of Hyatt points at participating Hyatt-affiliated hotels — all while Peloton stars like Cody Rigsby and Robin Arzón encourage you along.
World of Hyatt and Peloton members who link their accounts can earn 100 bonus points per completed workout on up to 10 qualifying workouts of at least 20 minutes per month at the more than 700 participating Hyatt hotels around the world. Members can earn up to 12,000 bonus points per year via the Peloton collaboration — enough to redeem on a free night at many Hyatt properties (though not at some of the company's glitziest offerings like the Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa).
World of Hyatt members who don't currently have a Peloton account can create one for free at the participating hotels in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Germany, Austria and Australia.
Every Hyatt hotel where Peloton currently operates, which includes the U.S., Canada (excluding Quebec), the U.K., Germany, Australia and Austria, already have or will soon receive a minimum of one Peloton Bike, a company spokesperson told TPG. Additionally, every Park Hyatt, Alila, Miraval, Thompson, Andaz and Dream hotel in the U.S. and Canada (excluding Quebec) will have or will soon receive one Peloton Row machine.
"We have taken feedback from our guests and members that they want to keep their routines while traveling," TJ Abrams, Hyatt's vice president of global well-being, said in a statement. "This new collaboration ensures guests can be at their best while on the road by making their well-being routines easier and more rewarding."
Beyond utilizing Peloton equipment in the hotel gym to earn World of Hyatt points, guests can also turn to in-room Peloton content for stretching and body weight workouts at nearly 400 Hyatt-affiliated hotels. However, World of Hyatt points-qualifying workouts are only on Peloton equipment-based workouts.
As part of the Hyatt-Peloton partnership, there are a few limited-time offers for World of Hyatt members:
"By integrating Peloton equipment and our world-class content into Hyatt hotels in markets where we operate, together we're redefining what it means to stay active and motivated on the road, delivering innovative ways to support the well-being of guests no matter how they choose to work out," Greg Hybl, senior vice president and general manager of Peloton for Business, said in a prepared statement.
Participating Hyatt hotels will also have access to unique, non-equipment-based Peloton classes available for corporate meeting and conference attendees — which are almost certain to put a pep in everyone's step before a breakout session. It appears this partnership is only just getting started, too.
The new partnership could expand to additional Hyatt
I happened to be on vacation in Bangkok when the results of the annual World's 50 Best Hotels were announced a few weeks ago.
Just four months ago, I reported that getting to Greenland from North America was getting easier than ever thanks to a brand new Air Greenland route between Arctic Canada and Nuuk, the capital of the autonomous territory. Back then, I said that the new seasonal route, which has been running since June 16 and will continue until October 23, 2024, was to revolutionize air travel between the North American continent and the largest island in the world. While true, this piece of news feels a lot less relevant since United’s recent big announcement: The airline will soon fly direct to Nuuk, Greenland, from one of the biggest air travel hub in the US.
The traditional territories in Alberta are home to many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit who have called these territories home for time immemorial. We respectfully acknowledge the diverse histories, cultures, and territories of Treaty 6, 7, 8, 4, and 10, as well as the homelands of the Métis, the 8 Métis Settlements, the 6 Métis Regions of the Métis Nation of Alberta.
I see London, I see France.
A United Airlines plane diverted and made an unplanned landing after cockpit screens went blank while it was flying over Canada's far north.
Even if you travel on many different airlines, it makes sense to focus on just one loyalty program in each of the Big Three airline alliances: Oneworld, Star Alliance and SkyTeam.
The setting sun backlights a pristine array of pines of different sizes and species. Far northern Canadian countryside rolls by at a leisurely pace of a train ride, viewed through a glass-enclosed upper deck of a special observation car.
The next phase of Washington, D.C.’s global tourism promotion campaign, “There’s Only One DC,” will tie in upcoming major international events the city is set to host.
Skiing has long had a reputation as a sport for the wealthy. Since its introduction to North America in the early 20th century, it's typically been reserved for those who can afford to take time off from work to spend exorbitant amounts of money traveling to far-flung destinations like Colorado, Idaho and New England.
Dangling my feet over the bank of a fast-running creek, I watched the sunlight filter through a leafy canopy above me. Here, in the middle of a city of three million people, I felt utterly alone, and though I was loath to admit it, a little disoriented. But that was why I had come.
Earlier this summer, Marriott teased the launch of a new affordable hotel brand in the U.S. and Canada called Project Mid-T.
Are your ready for it? Since its kickoff in March 2023, tens of millions of fans have clamored to attend one of the 152 shows making up Taylor Swift's Eras Tour — which has become highest-grossing tour in history. And for good reason: this three-hour concert by the most prolific and talented songwriter of our generation will rock your world. (Is my bias showing?)
