Hyatt has more than 1,300 hotels and resorts in 76 countries on all six inhabited continents. While its footprint is significantly smaller than that of competitors like Marriott and Hilton, Hyatt boasts a diverse collection of brands, ranging from budget-friendly to high-end luxury.
Many hotels and airlines have adopted dynamic award pricing, but World of Hyatt remains a fan favorite due to its award chart. You don’t need to perform dozens of searches to find out how many Hyatt points you’ll need for your next vacation. Instead, you can look at the award chart, where a free night award is priced based on hotel category, time of year, and type of room.
It can still be quite confusing, as the chart lists dozens of different values for a free night award across its various brands. So, here’s everything to know about using the World of Hyatt award chart.

Understanding the World of Hyatt award chart: The basics
You can book an award night at Hyatt properties around the world using your points. There aren’t any blackout dates. So as long as the hotel has availability, you can book an award night. Before diving into the chart, here are some things you should know.
Hotel category isn’t based on brand
Hyatt has dozens of brands in its portfolio. When looking at the award chart, you’ll notice that hotels are categorized 1 through 8, and all-inclusive resorts are categorized A through F. You might think that a luxury hotel like the Park Hyatt is always a Category 8 hotel, or an affordable Hyatt Place is a Category 1 hotel. However, this isn’t the case.
A hotel’s category is determined by location, demand, and the quality of the hotel. For instance, the Hyatt Place Arrowood in Charlotte, North Carolina, is a Category 1 hotel, which means you can book an off-peak award night for 3,500 points.
The Hyatt Place Santa Barbara, on the other hand, is a Category 6 hotel, which costs 21,000 points per night during off-peak times. Santa Barbara is a much more sought-after destination than Charlotte, so the hotel is a higher category, even though it belongs to the same brand.
Hyatt makes it easy to determine which category a hotel is in by visiting the Hyatt Hotel locations section of its website. You can sort by hotel category and region.
Hyatt uses multiple award charts
Unfortunately, you can’t just look at one award chart to know how many points you’ll spend on your getaway. Hyatt publishes separate award charts for the four different types of rooms: standard, club, standard suite, and premium suite. This is true for both hotels and all-inclusive resorts.
The final award chart is for Miraval Resorts, which uses its own system based on single or double occupancy.
There are also award charts for additional guests at all-inclusive resorts and upgrades. To determine how many points you’ll need for an award night, first determine the type of property (hotel, all-inclusive, or Miraval), then decide on the type of room. Once you know those, you can focus on the correct award chart.
Hyatt uses slightly dynamic pricing
Hyatt employs a slightly dynamic model for award pricing, offering off-peak, standard, and peak pricing. Peak nights are when the hotel is busiest, and an award night will cost the most points. The timing of these nights will vary between properties — a ski resort might be busiest in winter, but a beach resort in the Mediterranean might be nearly empty at the same time.
When analyzing the award charts and planning for your next vacation, it’s helpful to look at point values as a range. For example, a standard room at a Category 4 hotel will cost between 12,000 and 18,000 points per night, depending on the time of year.
How many points for a free night with Hyatt
The number of points you’ll need for a free night with Hyatt will vary based on the type of room, time of year, type of property, and hotel category. For example, an off-peak award night at a Category 1 hotel in a standard room will cost just 3,500 points. Meanwhile, a peak award night in a premium suite at a Category F all-inclusive resort will cost 115,000 points per night.
Here are some examples of what you can get for 10,000 to 100,000 points per night.
- 10,000 points: One off-peak night in a standard room at the Grand Hyatt Rio de Janeiro
- 20,000 points: One standard-season night in a standard suite at the Grand Hyatt Athens
- 30,000 points: Two standard-season nights in a standard room at Sunscape Coco Punta Cana, an all-inclusive resort
- 40,000 points: One standard-season night in a standard room at the Park Hyatt New York
- 50,000 points: Two off-peak nights in a standard room at Hôtel du Louvre
- 60,000 points: Five off-peak nights in a standard room at the Hyatt Centric Murano Venice
- 70,000 points: One off-peak night in a premium suite at the Park Hyatt Kyoto
- 80,000 points: Two off-peak nights in a standard room, single occupancy at Miraval Berkshires Resort and Spa
- 90,000 points: Three off-peak nights in a club room at the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa
- 100,000 points: Four off-peak nights in a standard room at Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta, an all-inclusive resort
Hyatt standard room award chart
An off-peak award night in a standard room at a Category 1 property would cost just 3,500 points. You can find Category 1 hotels worldwide — even in a city as expensive as Dubai. If you are looking for a budget getaway without sacrificing comfort, this could be a good option.
On the other end of the spectrum, a peak award night at a Category 8 property would cost 45,000 points. These properties are much less common — as of June 2025, there are only 15 Category 8 hotels in the U.S. When you book a standard room during standard travel times for your next trip, you’ll likely be somewhere in the middle of this chart, paying between 12,000 and 25,000 points per night.
| Hotel Category | Off-Peak | Standard | Peak |
| 1 | 3,500 | 5,000 | 6,500 |
| 2 | 6,500 | 8,000 | 9,500 |
| 3 | 9,000 | 12,000 | 15,000 |
| 4 | 12,000 | 15,000 | 18,000 |
| 5 | 17,000 | 20,000 | 23,000 |
| 6 | 21,000 | 25,000 | 29,000 |
| 7 | 25,000 | 30,000 | 35,000 |
| 8 | 35,000 | 40,000 | 45,000 |
Club room award chart
Club rooms are mostly the same as standard rooms, but they provide guests with access to the on-site Hyatt Club. Clubs are essentially like airport lounges and offer complimentary beverages, food, and a place to relax or work while on your trip. Club rooms are slightly more expensive than standard rooms, with off-peak award nights at Category 1 hotels starting at 5,500 points and peak award nights at Category 8 hotels going for 55,000 points.
Not every Hyatt property will have a club lounge, so if you don’t see this option when making a reservation, that’s why. Only book a club room if you plan on eating there a few times during your stay. If you plan on offsetting your food budget by eating at the club a few times throughout your trip, it can make sense to pay more per night for club access. If not, it’s not worth it.
| Hotel Category | Off-Peak | Standard | Peak |
| 1 | 5,500 | 7,000 | 8,500 |
| 2 | 10,500 | 12,000 | 13,500 |
| 3 | 14,000 | 17,000 | 20,000 |
| 4 | 18,000 | 21,000 | 24,000 |
| 5 | 24,000 | 27,000 | 30,000 |
| 6 | 29,000 | 33,000 | 37,000 |
| 7 | 34,000 | 39,000 | 44,000 |
| 8 | 45,000 | 50,000 | 55,000 |
Standard suites award chart
Standard suites can be studios or one-bedrooms, and are typically much more spacious than standard rooms. They might include a living area, an extra half bathroom, a balcony, or a sofa bed. Not all Hyatt properties offer suites, but if they do, they range from 6,500 points for an off-peak Category 1 hotel to 66,000 for a peak Category 8 hotel per night.
| Hotel Category | Off-Peak | Standard | Peak |
| 1 | 6,500 | 8,000 | 9,500 |
| 2 | 11,500 | 13,000 | 14,500 |
| 3 | 17,000 | 20,000 | 23,000 |
| 4 | 21,000 | 24,000 | 27,000 |
| 5 | 29,000 | 32,000 | 35,000 |
| 6 | 36,000 | 40,000 | 44,000 |
| 7 | 43,000 | 48,000 | 53,000 |
| 8 | 56,000 | 61,000 | 66,000 |
Premium suites award chart
Premium suites are some of the nicest rooms on the property. For instance, the Presidential Suite at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco is a 1,400-square-foot premium suite featuring a bedroom with a king bed, as well as a dining and living area. Although this hotel is incredibly nice, it’s a Category 5 hotel, which means you could reserve the Presidential Suite for as little as 34,000 points per night during off-peak times.
The most expensive room you can book at a Hyatt property is a premium suite during peak travel times. For instance, the Category 8 Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort charges upwards of 90,000 points per night for a premium suite with a private lanai, large bedroom, bathroom, and living area.
| Hotel Category | Off-Peak | Standard | Peak |
| 1 | 7,000 | 10,000 | 13,000 |
| 2 | 13,000 | 16,000 | 19,000 |
| 3 | 18,000 | 24,000 | 30,000 |
| 4 | 24,000 | 30,000 | 36,000 |
| 5 | 34,000 | 40,000 | 46,000 |
| 6 | 42,000 | 50,000 | 58,000 |
| 7 | 50,000 | 60,000 | 70,000 |
| 8 | 70,000 | 80,000 | 90,000 |
All-inclusive award chart
Hyatt has a separate award chart for its 10 all-inclusive brands. Instead of numbers, these hotels are categorized A through F. You’ll notice the award chart lists the same room options: standard, club, standard suite, and premium suites.
The all-inclusive chart includes an additional section for points required per person. Since all-inclusive resorts include food and beverages, you don’t just pay per room, but per person.
Standard room
Hyatt has two Category A properties in the Dominican Republic and two in Mexico, but the majority are in Spain. An off-peak award night in a standard room at these properties will cost 12,000 points.
As of June 2025, there are only six Category F resorts anywhere in the world: one in New York state, two in the Dominican Republic, and three in Mexico. Peak award nights at these properties will cost 58,000 points per night. I’ve visited the Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana, a Category F property, and can attest that it’s worth the splurge.
| Hotel Category | Off-Peak | Standard | Peak |
| A | 12,000 | 15,000 | 18,000 |
| B | 17,000 | 20,000 | 23,000 |
| C | 21,000 | 25,000 | 29,000 |
| D | 25,000 | 30,000 | 35,000 |
| E | 35,000 | 40,000 | 45,000 |
| F | 42,000 | 50,000 | 58,000 |
Club room
A club room at an all-inclusive is the same as at a regular hotel—it’s a standard room with club access. In my experience at the Hyatt Zilara Cap Cana, the club provided a quiet sanctuary away from the crowds, offering light bites, a variety of beverage options, and personalized assistance with planning excursions and other activities. It also offered a more comfortable check-in and checkout process with a welcome beverage.
That said, it costs anywhere from 13,000 to 16,000 additional points per night, so it might not be worth the added expense.
| Hotel Category | Off-Peak | Standard | Peak |
| A | 18,000 | 21,000 | 24,000 |
| B | 24,000 | 27,000 | 30,000 |
| C | 29,000 | 33,000 | 37,000 |
| D | 34,000 | 39,000 | 44,000 |
| E | 45,000 | 50,000 | 55,000 |
| F | 55,000 | 64,000 | 74,000 |
Standard suite
Standard suites at all-inclusive resorts start at 21,000 points for an off-peak award night at a Category A hotel, up to 90,000 for a peak award at a Category F hotel. If you’ve leveraged a welcome offer for a World of Hyatt credit card, you could potentially book a suite for your next vacation, especially if you travel during less popular times.
| Hotel Category | Off-Peak | Standard | Peak |
| A | 21,000 | 24,000 | 27,000 |
| B | 29,000 | 32,000 | 35,000 |
| C | 36,000 | 40,000 | 44,000 |
| D | 43,000 | 48,000 | 53,000 |
| E | 56,000 | 61,000 | 66,000 |
| F | 70,000 | 80,000 | 90,000 |
Premium suite
Premium suites at all-inclusive resorts are the best of the best. However, this award chart is where you start to see redemptions becoming inaccessible to the average traveler. For example, a premium suite on a peak award night at a Category F all-inclusive will cost 115,000 points for up to two guests.
As you’ll see below, each additional person costs additional points. For three guests, the suite would cost a total of 144,000 points per night. Multiply that over a five-night vacation, and you’re looking at 720,000 points for your trip.
| Hotel Category | Off-Peak | Standard | Peak |
| A | 24,000 | 30,000 | 36,000 |
| B | 34,000 | 40,000 | 46,000 |
| C | 42,000 | 50,000 | 58,000 |
| D | 50,000 | 60,000 | 70,000 |
| E | 70,000 | 80,000 | 90,000 |
| F | 85,000 | 100,000 | 115,000 |
Additional points per person
If you aren’t traveling solo to an all-inclusive resort, you’ll pay more per night, depending on the number of extra guests, season, and hotel category. These rates are the same whether you’re in a standard room or a premium suite. You’ll pay an additional 6,500 points to 29,000 points per person per night.
| Hotel Category | Off-Peak | Standard | Peak |
| A | 6,500 | 7,500 | 8,500 |
| B | 8,500 | 10,000 | 11,500 |
| C | 10,500 | 12,500 | 14,500 |
| D | 13,000 | 15,000 | 17,000 |
| E | 17,000 | 20,000 | 23,000 |
| F | 22,000 | 25,000 | 29,000 |
Miraval Resorts award chart
Miraval Resorts are a type of all-inclusive resort that focuses on wellness. Each stay includes accommodations, a $175 resort credit per person, food and beverages, and wellness activities. You can book your trip to Miraval Berkshires Resort and Spa using points online, but all other Miraval properties can be booked by calling (866) 792-3395.
Rates are based on single or double occupancy in a standard room, standard suite, or premium suite.
| Award type | Off-Peak | Standard | Peak |
| Standard Room – Single Occupancy | 40,000 | 45,000 | 50,000 |
| Standard Room – Double Occupancy | 57,500 | 65,000 | 72,000 |
| Standard Suite – Single Occupancy | 65,000 | 75,000 | 85,000 |
| Standard Suite – Double Occupancy | 82,500 | 95,000 | 107,000 |
| Premium Suite – Single Occupancy | 95,000 | 105,000 | 115,000 |
| Premium Suite – Double Occupancy | 112,500 | 125,000 | 137,000 |
Upgrade award chart
You can upgrade your room on a paid night using points at many Hyatt locations during booking. If you wish to upgrade an existing reservation using points, you’ll need to call (800) 544-9288. This is a great way to get a nicer room without sacrificing too many of your points.
| Room upgrade award | Points per night |
| Club | 3,000 |
| Suite Upgrade | 6,000 |
| Premium Suite Upgrade | 9,000 |
Points and cash bookings
If you don’t have enough points, but you don’t want to pay for a night using cash, you can use both points and cash for your booking. You’ll pay 50% of the points required for a free night and 50% to 70% off the cash price. This is subject to availability, so you won’t always see this as an option.
You can use points and cash to book standard rooms online. To book standard suites at Hyatt Vacation Club resorts, or standard or premium suites at Hyatt hotels and resorts, you’ll need to call (800) 544-9288.
In practice, here’s what this would look like.
I’m visiting Raleigh, North Carolina, this August for a wedding. The Hyatt House is a Category 3 hotel, so a free night for a standard room during standard travel times would cost 12,000 points. If I wanted to use points + cash, I’d pay half the amount in points (6,000 points) and $112 in cash.
What’s important to note is that the cash portion is calculated based on the standard rate. In this case, the standard rate is $223. However, if you are a World of Hyatt member and prepay for your room, the rate drops to just $176 per night. So the points and cash option of 6,000 points and $112 in cash isn’t a great deal, as you’re only saving $64.
Summary
World of Hyatt stands out by publishing an award chart, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to understand. If you’re overwhelmed by more than a dozen different charts, you can narrow down the options by identifying which type of room you’d like to stay in and what kind of property you prefer. Then, it’s a bit more digestible. When in doubt, you can always perform a search to know how much a trip will cost in total.
