Quick summary
The Park Hyatt Paris Vendome is a highly regarded luxury hotel in Paris, known for its prime location near major attractions and upscale shopping.
Booking with hotel loyalty points can provide significant value, often exceeding 3 cents per point, compared to the cash price of $800 or more per night.
The hotel is a Category 7 property, requiring between 25,000 and 35,000 points per night for a standard room, with suite options available for higher point amounts.
Elite status with the hotel program can unlock valuable perks like complimentary breakfast, free parking on award stays and potential suite upgrades.
What to consider
Award availability may vary by date, and standard suites can be booked with additional points or by applying a suite upgrade certificate.
No taxes or resort fees are charged on award bookings at this property, but incidental expenses and meals are not included.
TPG values these hotel points at 1.7 cents each as of June 2024, but redemptions at this property can yield much higher value.

The World of Hyatt loyalty program is a favorite of both TPG editors and readers for a few important reasons:
In our experience, its hotels are always clean and high-quality (even the cheap ones near highways).
Hyatt treats its elite members better than most other hotel chains.
These details make Hyatt one of the most compelling award travel investments you can make. The fact that Hyatt uses an award chart allows for some incredible sweet spots that can yield you a value of 3.5 cents or more per point.
The Park Hyatt Paris Vendome is a perfect example. It's a bucket list item in the points and miles community and one of the best hotels you can book with Hyatt points.
And because Hyatt is a transfer partner of Chase Ultimate Rewards, you can quickly earn enough Hyatt points for a stay at this property with travel credit cards such as:
Chase Sapphire Preferred Card
Chase Sapphire Reserve
Ink Business Preferred Credit Card
Let's look at why you should consider staying at the Park Hyatt Paris Vendome — and how easy it is to book.
Why it's special

Situated near popular Parisian attractions such as the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre — and a stone's throw from top-end shopping boutiques — The Park Hyatt Paris Vendome isn't for travelers on a budget. Rooms routinely cost $800+ per night — unless you know how to maximize Hyatt points.
It's a Category 7 hotel, meaning you'll pay:
Between 25,000 and 35,000 Hyatt points per night for a standard room (depending on the date)
Between 43,000 and 53,000 points per night for a standard suite
For example, here's the price for a random date in October 2022. The room is $1,177 per night.

And here's the award price for the exact same night — 30,000 points. That represents a value of 3.92 cents per Hyatt point.

TPG estimates Hyatt points value to be 1.7 cents each, on average. The opportunity to consistently receive a value of 3.5+ cents per point at this hotel is a sweet spot that more than doubles the value of your points.
Even with points, however, a stay at the Park Hyatt Paris Vendome could set you back with incidental charges and meals. But those who have Hyatt Globalist status will get the following for free:
Free breakfast (a $50+ value per person per day)
Free parking on award stays ($50+ value per night)
Suite upgrade when available (potentially $500+ value per day)
And if you've earned a Suite Upgrade Award, you can apply it to reservations here for up to seven nights to receive a confirmed Park Suite King room, which often sells for ~$500 more per night than a standard room.
Step 1. Navigate to the Park Hyatt Paris Vendome site
Head to the Park Hyatt Paris website and click the bright "Book Now" button at the top righthand corner of the page.

Step 2. Choose your travel dates and select "Use Points"

Step 3. Select the rate you want to pay

In this example, you can pay 30,000 points for a $0 stay in a standard room (you won't be charged taxes, resort fees, or anything of the sort). Or, you can pay for a standard suite for 48,000 points. Note that if standard suites are available for your dates, you are eligible to apply a Suite Upgrade Award to the reservation.
Hyatt offers two cobranded credit cards to choose from, and they both come with substantial sign-up bonuses:
World of Hyatt Credit Card: Up to 65,000 bonus points. Earn 35,000 bonus points after spending $3,000 on purchases within the first three months from account opening, plus up to 30,000 more points by earning 2 bonus points per dollar (1 bonus point per dollar in addition to your regular earnings on up to $15,000 in purchases) in the first six month of account opening.
World of Hyatt Business Credit Card: Earn up to 75,000 bonus points. You'll earn 60,000 after spending $5,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening, plus 15,000 bonus points after spending $12,000 in the first six months from account opening.
You can also earn Hyatt points indirectly by transferring Chase Ultimate Rewards points at a 1:1 ratio. The following cards can transfer points to Hyatt:
Chase Sapphire Preferred Card: 60,000 bonus Chase points after you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening
Chase Sapphire Reserve: 60,000 bonus points after you spend $4,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening.
Ink Business Preferred Credit Card: 100,000 bonus Chase points after you spend $8,000 in the first three months from account opening
The Park Hyatt Paris Vendome is one of the highest-end hotels you can book within the points and miles world.
Standard rooms frequently sell for $800+ per night — but you can book the property for as little as 25,000 points per night. You'll almost always get a value above 3 cents when using your Hyatt points this way.
