World of Hyatt is one of the most valuable hotel currencies based on TPG’s points and miles valuations. As with most hotel points, you’ll usually get the most value from your World of Hyatt points when you redeem them for hotel stays.
However, there are some complexities regarding Hyatt’s award charts. In this guide, we’ll examine the award charts and show you how to maximize Hyatt award redemptions.
Standard rooms
Most Hyatt properties, including participating Small Luxury Hotels of the World destinations, utilize a standard award chart for booking free nights. The primary exceptions that use separate award charts are all-inclusive resorts and the Miraval brand, which we’ll discuss later.
Hyatt implemented peak and off-peak pricing in October 2021. Here’s the current Hyatt award chart for booking standard rooms at off-peak, standard and peak rates:
| Hotel category | Off-peak points per night | Standard points per night | Peak points per night |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
You can also use the Points + Cash option to book a standard room. 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
You can book club rooms at select Hyatt properties for slightly more points than standard rooms. Club rooms provide access to the hotel club lounge, which typically offers guests complimentary breakfast, snacks, drinks and appetizers.
Here’s the Hyatt award chart for club rooms:

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 room type you’re booking. However, you’ll need to contact Hyatt to use Points + Cash to book suites at most properties.

Room upgrades
You can also redeem Hyatt points for room upgrades.
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. Room upgrades may not be available at all Hyatt hotel or resort locations. There may also be minimum room type and rate requirements that you must meet to upgrade your reservation.

Only two guests are included in Hyatt’s award night rate 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 guest to your Hyatt all-inclusive award stay.
| All-inclusive category | Off-peak points per person for the third or fourth guest | Standard points per person for the third or fourth guest | Peak points per person for the third or fourth guest |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
Based on the points cost for additional guests, a family of four might prefer redeeming for two rooms with two guests each instead of one room with four guests.

Miraval Resorts
Three Miraval Resorts are currently open and bookable with Hyatt points: Miraval Arizona Resort & Spa, Miraval Austin Resort & Spa and Miraval Berkshires Resort & Spa. These high-end properties are all-inclusive, making the high redemption rates easier to justify.
The award chart is the same, regardless of which Miraval property you book:
| Award type | Off-peak points per night | Standard points per night | Peak points per night |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard room | 40,000 (single occupancy)
57,500 (double occupancy) |
45,000 (single occupancy)
65,000 (double occupancy) |
50,000 (single occupancy)
72,000 (double occupancy) |
| Standard suite | 65,000 (single occupancy)
82,500 (double occupancy) |
75,000 (single occupancy)
95,000 (double occupancy) |
85,000 (single occupancy)
107,000 (double occupancy) |
| Premium suite | 95,000 (single occupancy)
112,500 (double occupancy) |
105,000 (single occupancy)
125,000 (double occupancy) |
115,000 (single occupancy)
137,000 (double occupancy) |
Every award night at Miraval includes meals, 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. Points + Cash rates are available at Miraval properties as well.

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 as little as 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 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 there are multiple room types that you can book with points. However, all of this can be good once you get a handle on the award charts. Even if you prefer to stick to the low end of the award chart, there’s still a lot of value to be found.
