Hyatt Aspen? Still in the Hyatt system?

Bump

Short answer - yes.

Longer answer:
You can ask HPP - doubt Hyatt will tell.
You can ask The Aspen - doubt they will tell.
Leaves you searching the county records - a slow process.

When searching "all nights" from Dec 10, 2021 to Nov, 30, 2022, it shows availability of 279 units.

I have no idea why you can't see anything

Do I need to be a HPP to see availability?

OK, so I spent a few minutes and found the deed conveying the leftover units to the trust. It's actually more than I thought, and I don't have the time to post everything, but I will share what I found.

Go the Pitkin County Recorders site, located here:
Pitkin County Recorder

Search by reception number 639572:

Then click to load the document.

Starting on page 3, it lists all the unit weeks that were conveyed to the trust.

As an example, unit 1 has the following weeks in HPP:
5
9
12
27
28
31
33

Unit 2 has the following in HPP:
6
10
12
29
34
35

Unit 3 has:
5
6
12
28
30
32
35

Unit 4 has:
34
35

Unit 5 has:
8
31
32
34
35

There are a lot more units. Remember that each of these units is a 1/20th share, so there will be inventory from Weeks 36-50, 1-4 and 13 to I believe week 25 that is floating. Owners will have to duke it out with HPP to reserve float time.

On a side note....like some others have mentioned, there is now a reason to buy HPP

I was told that there are 205 fixed units in HPP and each one comes with 10 floating days just like owners who bought fractional shares from the developer. Hyatt goes into the system at appropriate times to reserve units/weeks in the floating time.

Best regards.

It looks like it would match up with what I am seeing recorded with the county.

I found a fun part of the document:

Everything is listed as Even or Odd, so the bottom left is total points over 2 years, the second is total points per year. So there are 520,100 points in HPP that are from the Hyatt Grand Aspen.

The only downside to that is the day MVC/Hyatt decides they want to liquidate the Aspen property as they no longer control it. HPP owners have zero say in where the underlying deed in the trust are. I can see a situation where someone at MVC/Hyatt decides to assign points to Welk units, then swap deeds in order to keep the HPP Trust points consistent then remove the Aspen deeds and sell them off to generate revenue.

Happened to be looking for something around midnight and noticed the name change from the Grand Aspen to A Portfolio Property, Aspen.

As an aside, my guess is this is how any new properties will be displayed in the future.
