Update, 2/13: The Norman Tel Aviv is now bookable as an SLH category 8 hotel costing 40K Hyatt points. The base points room is the Deluxe Room, which is normally $650 per night:

For tourists, that’s a value of 1.63 cents per Hyatt point. For Israeli residents subject to 17% VAT, it’s a value of 1.9 cents per Hyatt point.

Starting on 3/22, the hotel will be subject to 35K off-peak, 40K standard, or 45K peak pricing.

A $650 room for 35K points is a value of 1.86 cents per point for tourists or 2.17 cents per point for Israeli residents.

All Hyatt members get free WiFi, breakfast, upgrades, early check-in, and late checkout at SLH hotels on both paid and award stays.

In November 2018 Hyatt added 54 SLH partner hotels. Hyatt members can redeem points for those hotels and earn points for staying there.

Since then Hyatt has added more SLH partner hotels every few months.

Today Hyatt is adding a 7th round of SLH hotels and there are now more than 350 SLH hotels that partner with Hyatt for earning and redeeming points. Hyatt has a relatively small footprint, so the SLH hotel partnership opens up excellent redemption opportunities in unique places. More SLH Hotels will be added later this year.

Best of all, Hyatt is finally adding a points option in Israel. There used to be a Hyatt Regency Jerusalem, but that was reflagged some 15 years ago as the Dan Jerusalem, a few years after former Israeli general Rehavam Ze’evi was assassinated there.

Today, the Norman Tel Aviv joins Hyatt as a top-tier category 8 hotel, costing 40K points per night. That’s pricey, but it’s considered one of the top hotels in the country.

Unfortunately it is not a kosher hotel.

The hotel is not yet bookable on Hyatt.com but this will be the landing page when it is, I’ll make an update when it is bookable.

Other SLH hotels joining Hyatt today include:

• Hotel Villa Franca in Positano, Italy near Naples (Category 8)
• MarBella Nido Suite Hotel and Villas, and adults only hotel in Corfu, Greece (Category 6)
• Casa Angelina Lifestyle in Amalfi Coast, Italy (Category 8)
• CasaSur Recoleta Hotel in Buenos Aires, just a half mile walk to Chabad of Recoleta (category 4)
• Canal House in Amsterdam (Category 6)

All Hyatt members get free WiFi, breakfast, upgrades, early check-in, and late checkout at SLH hotels.
