Frequently asked questions
You need 3,000 Hyatt points to book a lowest award night in a standard room at a Category 1 Hyatt property. However, a lowest Category 1 night could cost just 1,500 Hyatt points plus a cash copay if you book a Points + Cash rate.
Based on TPG’s May 2026 valuations, a Hyatt point is worth 1.65 cents.
On May 20, World of Hyatt implemented its annual category changes and new award charts with five tiers (instead of three). With this change in tiers, award nights for a specific property now vary depending on whether they're lowest, low, moderate, upper or top. Let's take a closer look at each of the Hyatt award charts.

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.
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):

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 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 nonresort hotel.

Given the points cost for additional guests, a family of four might prefer redeeming Hyatt points for two rooms with two guests each rather than one room with four guests.
Four Miraval resorts are open and bookable with Hyatt points: Miraval Arizona, Miraval Austin, Miraval Berkshires in Massachusetts and Miraval The Red Sea in Saudi Arabia. The award chart is the same, regardless of which Miraval property you book:

Miraval Austin. KATIE GENTER/THE POINTS GUY
Every award night at Miraval includes meals, snacks, a $175 resort credit per person, nonalcoholic drinks, fitness classes and wellness activities.
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.
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 lowest, low, moderate, upper and top 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.
