CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hyatt Hotels & Resorts has launched Hyatt Retreats, a new collection of value-added packages available worldwide. Whatever mood strikes, Hyatt's "Amour," "Balance," "Awaken" and "Explore" packages offer the solution, accentuating the special offerings and distinct location of each participating Hyatt hotel in over 45 countries.

In addition, through January 31, 2008, Hyatt Gold Passport's partnership with MasterCard Worldwide® offers guests the opportunity to earn 2,000 Hyatt Gold Passport bonus points when booking any Hyatt Retreats package.
