World of Hyatt is one of the few hotel loyalty programs that still has award charts. Although World of Hyatt uses dynamic pricing for Mr & Mrs Smith properties, it still publishes and uses fixed award charts for its others. The program also maintains different award charts for all-inclusive resorts and Miraval resorts.

Hyatt implemented peak and off-peak pricing in October 2021. So award nights can vary in cost slightly for a specific property depending on whether your stay is peak, standard or off-peak. Let’s take a closer look at each of the Hyatt award charts.

Standard rooms at Hyatt hotels and resorts

Here’s the current Hyatt award chart for booking standard rooms at Hyatt hotels and resorts (excluding all-inclusive resorts, Miraval resorts and Mr & Mrs Smith properties):

You can also book a Points + Cash option at some properties. With Points + Cash, you pay 50% of the points required based on the chart above and get 50% to 70% off the standard rate for the room type you’re booking.

You can book standard awards, including Points + Cash awards, online. When these rates are available, you’ll see them when you check the “Use Points” box before searching.

Club rooms at Hyatt hotels and resorts

You can book club rooms at some Hyatt hotels and resorts for slightly more points than standard rooms. Club rooms provide access to the hotel’s club lounge, which typically offers complimentary breakfast, snacks, drinks and appetizers.

Here’s the Hyatt award chart for club rooms at Hyatt hotels and resorts (again, excluding all-inclusive resorts, Miraval resorts and Mr & Mrs Smith properties):

When available, you can book club rooms online using points. Check the “Use Points” box and look past the standard room awards listed under the “Rooms” tab on the results page.

Suites at Hyatt hotels and resorts

You can also book suites using Hyatt points. Here’s the award chart for booking standard suites and premium suites at Hyatt hotels and resorts (again, excluding all-inclusive resorts, Miraval resorts and Mr. & Mrs. Smith properties) that offer these room types:

You can also use the Points + Cash feature when booking suites. As with standard rooms, the Points + Cash rate allows you to pay 50% of the points required for a free night and get 50% to 70% off the standard rate for the suite type you’re booking.

You can book suites online using Hyatt points, but you must contact Hyatt to book one using Points + Cash.

Room upgrades on paid stays

You can redeem Hyatt points for room upgrades on paid stays at some hotels and resorts. Here’s how many Hyatt points you’ll need to redeem for each upgrade type:

• Club upgrade: 3,000 points per night
• Standard suite upgrade: 6,000 points per night
• Premium suite upgrade: 9,000 points per night

You can book new stays online but must contact Hyatt to upgrade an existing paid stay using points. You may need to meet minimum room type and rate requirements to upgrade your reservation. You’ll usually need to pay the standard rate for at least a deluxe room at Hyatt resorts and a standard room at a hotel that is not a resort.

All-inclusive resorts

In April 2022, Hyatt introduced a new award chart for stays at its all-inclusive resorts. The following award chart now applies to stays at Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection brands:

Hyatt’s award night rate only includes two people at all-inclusive resorts. So, as you can see in the following chart, you’ll need to use more points if you plan to bring a third or fourth person to your Hyatt all-inclusive award stay.

Based on the points cost for additional guests, a family of four might prefer redeeming Hyatt points for two rooms with two guests each instead of one room with four guests.

Miraval resorts

Three Miraval resorts are open and bookable with Hyatt points: Miraval Arizona Resort & Spa, Miraval Austin Resort & Spa and Miraval Berkshires Resort & Spa. The award chart is the same, regardless of which Miraval property you book:

Every award night at Miraval includes meals, snacks, a $175 resort credit per person, fitness classes and wellness activities. You can book the Berkshires location online, but you’ll need to contact Hyatt to book stays at the other locations with points. Points + Cash rates are available at Miraval properties as well.

If you frequently stay with Hyatt, remember you can select a Miraval extra night award through the Hyatt Milestone Rewards program at the 100-, 110-, 120-, 130-, 140- and 150-night milestones.

Frequently asked questions

How many Hyatt points do you need for a free night?

You need 3,500 Hyatt points to book an off-peak award night in a standard room at a Category 1 Hyatt property. However, an off-peak Category 1 night could cost just 1,750 Hyatt points plus a cash copay if you book a Points + Cash rate.

What is a Hyatt point worth?

Based on TPG’s August 2024 valuations, a Hyatt point is worth 1.7 cents.

How can you earn Hyatt points?

There are many ways to earn Hyatt points, including paid stays, the World of Hyatt Credit Card and the World of Hyatt Business Credit Card.

However, a quick way to boost your balance is to transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Hyatt, transfer Bilt Rewards Points to Hyatt or buy Hyatt points. Another World of Hyatt member could also transfer Hyatt points to your account.

Bottom line

The World of Hyatt award chart can be overwhelming since you can book multiple room types with points, each costing a different amount. Plus, you’ll need to redeem different point amounts for peak, standard and off-peak nights. However, this can be good once you get a handle on the award charts. You can still find great value even if you prefer to stick to the low end of the Hyatt award chart.
