Glamping lets travelers experience the outdoors in upscale comfort, instead of roughing it in a tent. Rather than setting up a tent and making dinner via a portable stove, guests reside in customized abodes that blend rustic and modern elements. Under Canvas is a leader in the glamping space, specializing in elegant canvas-covered dwellings set amongst stunning surroundings.

Hotel brands like Hilton and Hyatt have made recent forays into the glamping space, but now, Hyatt is doubling down with a partnership with Under Canvas, offering World of Hyatt loyalty program members more ways to redeem points and experience the outdoors in luxury. Here’s what’s included.

Across 13 destinations, Under Canvas brings unique canvas-covered abodes equipped with optional en-suite bathrooms, wood-burning stoves, king-sized beds, West Elm furnishings, and more. The safari-inspired dwellings look like a mix of teepee and cabin, with canvas stretched over wooden supports. For those looking for adventure and luxury, it’s the best of both worlds. Now, World of Hyatt members can join in, earning and redeeming points at Under Canvas properties.

Under Canvas locations include Moab, Lake Powell – Grand Staircase, Grand Canyon, and more. In the orbit of national parks, guests have a dream-like hideaway, with a mini tent city serving as a luxury outpost. Each location has distinct dining options, using local recipes and thoughtfully sourced ingredients. Topping it off is nightly s’mores by the fire.

Mark Vondrasek, Chief Commercial Officer, Hyatt, said, “By adding these luxury outdoor camps to World of Hyatt, we are bringing more memorable travel experiences for our guests and members. Hyatt offers one of the fastest-growing luxury portfolios globally and with the inclusion of these incredible Under Canvas camps in World of Hyatt, we continue to double down on this focus and bring immense value to our rapidly growing member base.”

This famously safe country is now under a sudden U.S. travel advisory
Switzerland was placed under a Level 1 travel advisory
Zurich, Switzerland

Switzerland, long celebrated for its neutrality, low crime rates, and overall stability, has been quietly placed under a Level 1 travel advisory by the U.S. Department of State as of May 20. While a Level 1 notice, the lowest on the State Department's four-tier scale, simply advises travelers to “exercise normal precautions,” the move raised eyebrows for its suddenness and lack of explanation.

The advisory update came without fanfare or detail. The only note included on the State Department’s website reads: “Reissued after periodic review with minor edits.” Yet, just four days later, on May 24, the Department reported demonstrations near the main train station in Bern, Switzerland’s capital, accompanied by a heavy police presence.

American Airlines Flagship Suites

American Airlines’ new Flagship Suites on Boeing 787-9 aircraft promise next-level comfort, privacy, and luxury. Positioned at the front of the plane, the suites use privacy doors, chaise lounge seating, a wireless charging pad, personal storage space, and more. 

Flagship Suite seats went on sale this past Monday, with the first trip on June 5 from Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Other debut routes to London, Zurich, and Brisbane will follow during the summer. However, the seats aren’t cheap, with fares for the ORD to LAX route running around $6,000.
