I’m always happy to see Hyatt’s footprint expanding, in particular given how compelling of a loyalty program World of Hyatt is. I often seek out Hyatts when on vacation, because I love the perks I receive as a Globalist member, in particular the ability to apply Globalist Suite Upgrade Awards to confirm a suite at…

Nothing to get that excited about since many of the “under development” properties likely won’t open until at least 2022.
There was until somewhat recently a Sheraton in Tirana, but that was de-flagged. Marriott is opening a Marriott there soon.
Glad to see Hyatt expanding their overseas footprint and that they're working to ensure that Hyatt Globalist isn't a misnomer. One Hyatt at a Time 🙂
Alila la Gruyère: basically, they're building on the golf course by the lake of Gruyère, which is an artificial lake formed by damming the Sarine. I don't golf, but the course is probably pretty good, what with the rolling hills and whatnot. They'll be below La Berra, which is a chairlift from 2000 to maybe 5000 feet asl. At the upper end of the lake, you got the Cailler factory at Broc, above that, Gruyères itself, and above that, the Moléson.
If you take the A1 from Bern towards lake Léman, you'll get a good view of it off to your left between Fribourg and Bulle. You can probably observe the construction from the motorway rest area.
I'd definitely recommend going in the summer.
Until they have some reasonably priced options with decent points earning and some credit card options in Europe they're still of very little interest to me. Hilton and IHG are far far better options over here in comparison.
Hilton has excellent options in Reykjavik already, I wouldn't be waiting on a Hyatt Centric
Only thing I take issue with is calling the Cambridge centric a centric. Used to live there and this is no where near the town centre, unlike the Hilton. Heck it's no where near to anything.
Why does everyone overlook Radisson in Europe? There are some very nice Radisson properties in Europe. Likewise, Choice basically has a separate loyalty program for Europe with some good properties in the Nordic countries. Accor is interesting in Europe too.
They are even opening a new one in Melbourne- well the outer suburbs. Will be open mid next year. Excited to see so many more in Europe.
I wish Hyatt like may hotels in the Netherlands where I been 25 trips an 12 years!
