Our Reading
The escape is carefully planned.
The Vintage Lisbon offers a unique experience with its Small Luxury Hotels of the World affiliation and Mr & Mrs Smith membership. The hotel’s rooftop bar and spa area provide a relaxing atmosphere, and the full breakfast spread is included in the award rate. The author’s World of Hyatt Credit Card earns bonus points on additional purchases made at the hotel.
However, the author notes that the hotel’s benefits are not equally available through both Hilton Honors and World of Hyatt. The article suggests that travelers should compare prices and benefits across multiple loyalty programs before booking a multi-program hotel.
The article concludes that the flexibility to choose what works best for the traveler is the beauty of multi-program hotels.
Some hotels are just a little too good to be true – until you realize they’re actually two hotels at once.
