Another Scottish castle – Inverlochy Castle – you can now book with World of Hyatt hotel points

Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission.  See here for all partner links.

World of Hyatt partnered with Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH) last year.  This allows World of Hyatt members to book SLH properties via hyatt.com, and get exclusive benefits for doing so, and redeem their World of Hyatt points with SLH.

A further batch of SLH hotels was added last week.  It includes Inverlochy Castle near Glenfinnan (home of the ‘Harry Potter bridge’) in Scotland, pictured below.  We actually popped in to this hotel when we were in Scotland in May to see how it compared to the place we had booked down the road – I didn’t realise at the time it was SLH.

There is actually one other UK castle which can be booked with hotel loyalty points – Crossbasket Castle in High Blantyre, near Glasgow which is pictured below.  This is also part of the World of Hyatt / SLH tie-up.

Most people don’t realise what good UK hotels are now bookable with World of Hyatt points via the SLH tie-up.  They include:

  • Tylney Hall Hotel, Hook
  • The Fish Hotel, Broadway
  • Cromlix, Dunblane
  • Alexander House Hotel, West Sussex
  • Foxhill Manor, Broadway
  • Langshott Manor, Horley
  • The Grand Hotel, Eastbourne
  • Greywalls Hotel, Muirfield
  • The Arden Hotel, Stratford upon Avon
  • Nira Caledonia, Edinburgh
  • Luton Hoo, Luton
  • The Greenway Hotel, Cheltenham
  • Monkey Island, Bray
  • Dormy House Hotel, Broadway
  • Ashdown Park Hotel, East Sussex
  • The Atlantic Hotel, Jersey

Crossbasket Castle World of Hyatt Small Luxury Hotel

And in London:

  • The Franklin
  • Flemings Mayfair
  • St James’s Hotel & Club
  • Duke’s London
  • The Academy
  • The Capital Hotel

It’s just a shame that World of Hyatt points are so difficult to earn if you live in the UK.  There are only a modest number of Hyatt properties in major business cities in Europe, there is no UK credit card and they are not an American Express Membership Rewards partner.

    Welcome Sinead!

    I hope they do fix combine my avios over the next few weeks. I’ll have a significant chunk sitting in my Aer Club otherwise in a few weeks… What use is that to me when I plan on using it for the multi-partner redemption chart.

    I am still unable to login on avios.com or aer club

      I can login to AerClub and see my balance but can’t login to Avios

        I can log in via my Vueling account but can’t do anything when there.

          My vueling account is ok. Just the avios and aer club have problems. Case logged for a week with useless support

    BA offered me 15000 avios following an injury to my finger in one of their club World seats. I had asked for considerably more. Does anyone have any experience of getting BA to give a higher offer?

      What / who was at fault?

    • TGLoyalty says:
      18 Oct18 October 10:11

      strange, where was your finger? Did the cabin crew move the seat during take off/landing and it was in the wrong place? or sharp edge exposed on seat somewhere?

    • Lady London says:

      15000 is b* all compared to cash that could be payable.
      Would be a question of evidence.

      My wife and I had our 40th anniversary in Prague . We stayed at the Intercontinental which was booked with BA ,flights and hotels . The hotel was fine and in walking distance to everything.my wife and her sister recently rented an Airbnb in Karlova street which was in a great location between the old square and Charles bridge this was a small flat but great value under £100 a night .

      What are the outstanding deals via BA holidays?764312`1q

      The Hilton has a nice Skybar with a good view but huge hotel and not special at all little out of te way.
      The Dedica Anthology was nice also central. classical decor if you like that thng, breakfast spread was good.
      The Augustine is very well liked on Flyertalk
      BoHo looked nice as well

      Four Seasons is probably the stand out hotel, Emyr can usually sort out some extras vs the normal FS rate.

        Always had good Honors recognition at Hilton myself but others report the opposite. I like Corinthia but years since ai stayed there so no up to date info.

          I had a one night stay and it was fine. friendly staff, exec room upgrade, lounge access, late checkout

          I liked the bar to relax but like i said just not a wow hotel.

      We stayed at the Aria hotel Prague and loved it – would happily recommend.

    • David D says:

      Just back from there at the weekend. Stayed at the Corinthia as part of the GHA Discovery program. Business Traveller sub to GHA platinum and was upgraded to the deluxe suite with executive lounge access. Good food and drinks in there with attentive service. Pool and spa on the 25th floor were pretty good too. Only downside was the room was a bit tired and it is two metro stops into the old town due North. Good views across the the city from the higher floors though.

      Never stayed in a chain hotel in Praha.
      My personal favourite area is Malá Strana, at the west end of the Charles Bridge. Lots of nice restaurants etc, but it was (when I was last there) still away from the tourist hordes.
      I particularly liked the hotels on Kampa Island, which is without passing traffic, and thuis quiet.
      I liked both Hotel U Zlatých nůžek and Hotel at the Charles Bridge, both small 4* (Czech rating!) hotels.
      Trams run almost everywhere – you can get a 72 hour ticket for all over the city. Though keep an eye out for pick[pockets, especially used to be a problem on number 23 tram.

    What happened to the BA Pilots pay discussion in the end?

    Is it settled or still ongoing?

    • Rob says:
      18 Oct18 October 08:16

      Still ongoing, no idea if there are talks. Strike ballot valid until January.

    Combine my Avios working for me (18/10/19 @ 08:20 BST). Did a test move of 1 Avios from Ba to my Avios account and also a test move from BA to Iberia straight afterwards. Had problems a while back but cleared all cookies in Chrome, closed down and rebooted and worked OK.

    • JohnT says:

      What about buying avios – could that also be delayed posting to account? Normally instant, but not so today so far..?
