In 2022, it was announced that Hyatt would expand its footprint in Germany, through a partnership with Lindner Hotels. This is something I’m excited about, given that most of my family lives in Germany, and I travel there a lot. There’s an exciting update, because as of today, the integration of Lindner Hotels properties into World of Hyatt has been completed.
Hyatt & Lindner Hotels launch partnership
In October 2022, Hyatt announced a new partnership with Lindner Hotels AG, a family-run German hospitality business that’s focused on hotel developments, management, and investments. Roughly 30 hotels across seven European countries have joined the Hyatt brand portfolio, and have been integrated into the World of Hyatt loyalty program.
The majority of properties have been branded as JdV by Hyatt, which is a collection of independent hotels with unique personalities that reflect their locations. This development expands Hyatt’s lifestyle footprint by roughly 5,500 rooms, and in particular, expands Hyatt’s footprint in Germany.
As part of this agreement, Lindner Hotels has access to data-driven support around brand health, guest experiences, and revenue optimization from Hyatt’s Global Franchise and Owner Relations Group.
Lindner Hotels join World of Hyatt
As of June 22, 2023, all Lindner Hotels properties have been integrated into the World of Hyatt program. This means that members can earn and redeem World of Hyatt points, as well as take advantage of elite benefits, when staying at these hotels.
Standard World of Hyatt Globalist, Explorist, and Discoverist perks apply. So just as at other Hyatt properties, Globalist members are entitled to complimentary breakfast, suite upgrades subject to availability, late check-out, and more.
Here are all the Lindner Hotels properties that now belong to World of Hyatt:
- Lindner Congress Hotel Dusseldorf
- Lindner Golf Resort Portals Nous
- Lindner Hotel Am Belvedere
- Lindner Hotel Am Michel
- Lindner Hotel Bay Arena
- Lindner Hotel Berlin Ku’damm
- Lindner Hotel Cologne Am Dom
- Lindner Hotel City Plaza
- Lindner Hotel Frankfurt Hochst
- Lindner Hotel Gallery Central
- Lindner Hotel Prague Castle
- Lindner Hotel & Residence Main Plaza
- Lindner Hotel & Sports Academy
- Lindner Park-Hotel Hagenbeck
- Lindner WTC Hotel & City Lounge Antwerp
- Me and All Hotel Dusseldorf
- Me and All Hotel Dusseldorf Oberkassel
- Me and All Hotel Hanover
- Me and All Hotel Kiel
- Me and All Hotel Mainz
- Me and All Hotel Ulm
- Nurburgring Congress Hotel
- Nürburgring Ferienpark Hotel
- Nürburgring Motorsport Hotel
You’ll see that stays at these properties can now be booked directly through hyatt.com. This applies regardless of whether you’re paying cash or redeeming points. Most of these properties have pretty low categories for the purposes of points redemptions, which is great.
What are Lindner Hotels?
Lindner Hotels is a hospitality company founded in 1973 by architect Otto Lindner. Hotels are operated either under the “Lindner Hotels & Resorts” or “Me and All Hotels” brands.
Lindner Hotels currently operates roughly 30 hotels in seven countries, with a vast majority of the properties being in Germany. However, there are also properties in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Spain, and Switzerland. This new collaboration will expand Hyatt’s footprint to 15 new markets.
Lindner Hotels are generally more upscale and affordable properties, so these aren’t going to be new uber-luxurious Hyatt properties. However, they give World of Hyatt members access to all kinds of new destinations that previously didn’t have Hyatts, from Frankfurt (aside from the airport), to Kiel, to Sylt, to Ulm.
Bottom line
Hyatt and Lindner Hotels have launched a partnership. Roughly 30 Lindner properties in seven countries have now joined World of Hyatt, with most properties being branded as JdV by Hyatt properties. These properties are now fully participating in World of Hyatt, allowing you to earn and redeem points, and take advantage of elite perks.
This is especially exciting for Germany, as World of Hyatt members will have access to 20+ new properties. Germany is a market where Hyatt historically hasn’t been too strong, aside from a few properties (mostly Hyatt Regency hotels).
