The Complete Guide to World of Hyatt Award Charts
by Krish Patel
The World of Hyatt loyalty program is one of the largest and most user-friendly hotel loyalty programs. You can get maximum value for your Hyatt points by redeeming them for hotel stays. Hyatt has award charts that show the cost (in points) for hotel stays and upgrades, which can help you get maximum value for your next Hyatt stay.
Note that Hyatt uses a dynamic pricing model for Mr. and Mrs. Smith Hotels, however, publishes an award chart for all of the other brands such as Park Hyatt, Andaz, Hyatt Centric, Grand Hyatt, and Hyatt Place. Different award charts are also used for Miraval Resorts and all-inclusive properties.
Standard Rooms
Based on the Hyatt properties category (1 to 8), a room will cost more if the hotel category is higher. Hyatt uses the following award chart for the prices of Standard Rooms at a per nightly rate:
Club Rooms
Club Rooms at Hyatt properties are similar to Standard rooms, but sometimes offer more space. In a typical Club Room, you can expect to find a couch, bathroom, desk, and bed. Staying in a Club Room includes access to the Club Lounge, where you can have a complimentary breakfast and enjoy evening drinks. Because of the slightly better offering, Club Rooms are more expensive than Standard Rooms. The following award chart is used for the prices of Club Rooms at a per nightly rate across Category 1 through 8 hotels:
Standard Suites
Hyatt offers two types of suites for its guests. Standard Suites are spacious, but don’t offer as much space as Premium Suites. For example, a Standard Suite can include only one bedroom, while a Premium Suite might include more than two beds. At a per nightly rate, the following award chart is used for Standard Suites:
Premium Suites
Premium Suites are the largest hotel rooms Hyatt offers at its hotel properties and include extra space, as well as larger seating areas, two to three bathrooms, and more than one bedroom. Hyatt uses the following award chart for Premium Suites at a per nightly rate:
Room Upgrades
On paid stays, Hyatt will allow you to make room upgrades using World of Hyatt points at some hotels and resorts. Note that this is based on availability and can’t always be guaranteed. You’ll need the following amounts of points for each room upgrade:
Club Room: 3,000 Points
Standard Suite: 6,000 Points
Premium Suite: 9,000 Points
Note that you’ll need to contact Hyatt to make a room upgrade using points for a paid stay.
All-Inclusive Resorts
Unlike hotels within Hyatt’s collection, the brand’s all-inclusive resorts have a different award chart. Similarly to Hyatt’s main award chart, the one for all-inclusive properties also has prices for standard, peak, and off-peak travel times. Hyatt’s all-inclusive properties range on a scale from A to F. The following award charts are used for all-inclusive resorts:
At all-inclusive resorts, Hyatt’s award chart only includes two guests per room. However, it’s possible to use more points and add up to two more guests to your reservation. Hyatt uses the chart below for added third or fourth guests:
Miraval Resorts
Miraval is Hyatt’s portfolio of wellness spa resorts that are adult-only. There are only three of them, and they can all be found in the U.S. Hyatt’s award chart for Miraval Resorts is the same regardless of the property you’re staying at.
Conclusion
Hyatt’s award chart can be difficult to utilize because there are many room types you can book. The price changes during peak and off-peak times of the year, which can make booking your Hyatt stay even more complicated. I hope that the visibility of the charts brings some more clarity into any future Hyatt bookings.
