Now, as an Omni Select Guest member, you are automatically enrolled in a complimentary membership of GHA Discovery. GHA Discovery is a global loyalty program that provides perks at luxury hotels around the word, plus unique local experiences, such as a private tour of a chocolatier in Belgium, pouring your own Guinness at Dublin’s oldest pub, meeting the cast of WICKED after seeing the Broadway show and more. The local experiences, which include activities that are authentic to the local culture and not easily available or accessible to the general public, are offered to all GHA Discovery members at all membership levels.

Local experiences can be earned after your first stay in a GHA hotel as a GHA Discovery/Omni Select Guest member at the Gold level. After staying 10 nights in a GHA hotel, you’ll move up to Platinum level and receive one Platinum experience (the higher the membership level, the more exciting and exclusive the awards). After staying 30 nights, you’ll earn Black level and a Black level local experience. In addition, you’ll earn a local experience whenever you stay for the first time at a new GHA brand that corresponds to your current membership level and an additional local experience whenever you renew your Platinum or Black status. Local experiences are offered in conjunction with GHA stays.

There are 12 Global Hotel Alliance (GHA) brands with nearly 300 resorts, palaces and spas. Brands include First Hotels; Omni Hotels & Resorts; Marco Polo Hotels; Shaza Hotels; Kempinski Hotels; The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts; Anantara Hotels, Resorts and Spas; Tivoli Hotels and Resorts; Mirvac Hotels and Resorts; PARKROYAL Hotels & Resorts; The Doyle Collection and Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts.

Bottom line: Your current membership in Omni Select Guest will not change, nor will your membership number, but now you will also be a member of GHA Discovery. Your membership level earned through Select Guest will be recognized by all GHA brands and your stays in GHA brands will accumulate towards your next membership level in the Select Guest program.

You can only earn and redeem free nights for stays at Omni Hotels & Resorts but you can earn airline miles in 15 partner FFPs for qualifying rates at all participating GHA properties.
