Hyatt Hotels

Just got back from another 3-night MLK stay at Hyatt Regency Tahoe. Still a Cat 5 and honestly still worth the 23k peak points. Cash rates were around $500 for a basic room and I’d book on points again without hesitation. I’d call it a 9/10 overall. Biggest change is the beach...

Based in the UK so Hyatt points are slow to earn for me. No credit cards, no easy transfer partners. I’ve been slowly stacking points for about two years while traveling, and my girlfriend has always rolled her eyes at my obsession with points and hotel chains. Today that...

I’ve booked a couple of those “World of Hyatt eligible” hotels through the Chase Travel portal and yes, the qualifying nights did post for me. It took a bit longer than a direct Hyatt booking, but they showed up and counted toward status. The key is that it has to explicitly say...

Honestly, I don’t get it. We’ve stayed at a bunch of Hyatts in different countries and so many of them have this half shower door that doesn’t actually close. Water everywhere, bathroom floor soaked, no steam staying in… just a mess. Who keeps approving this? Do better, Hyatt....

Just spotted a $125 property credit at one of The Edit hotels usually it’s only $100. Anyone know if this is a new Sapphire Reserve perk or just a one-off promo? Either way, I’ve had great redemptions with The Edit so far. Hoping this means more bonuses are coming.

Finally booked what’s basically a Park Hyatt honeymoon sprint Chicago, Tokyo, Kyoto, Paris, then London. Burned through a mountain of points, used SUAs for Tokyo and Paris, and even scored ANA F out of ORD to kick things off. It’s a lot of flying (and time zones), but feels like...

I just checked out of the brand-new Park Hyatt in KL and wow what a spot. It’s up in the Merdeka 118 tower, so the views over the city are insane. I booked a suite that was going for about $1,000 cash, but on World of Hyatt points it was only 32k. Felt like a total steal. The...

Scrolling through travel feeds, and boom, this on Hyatt promotion: 2x points in Europe, Africa & the middle east. Having stayed at several Hyatt properties across Europe last year, I can tell you this double points promotion is a game changer. I remember paying regular rates at...

While exploring Arizona last month, I stayed at a Grand Hyatt and stumbled into something cool: you can now earn and use World of Hyatt points on things like spa treatments, private dinners, and even poolside cabanas. It’s all part of their new partnership with a startup called...

Just heard the big news the former Andaz Mayakoba, one of my favorite Riviera Maya stays, is reopening as Alila Mayakoba in February 2026! This will be the first Alila in Latin America and the Caribbean, and the design looks stunning with earthy tones, ocean views, and even...

Just stayed at the brand-new Secrets Playa Esmeralda in the Dominican Republic and wow, it’s a dream for couples or solo travelers looking for peace and pampering. It’s part of Hyatt’s big 2025 expansion and feels like a step up in the all-inclusive game. The 500 suites are...

Just checked my World of Hyatt account and saw an offer for 2,000 points every 2 nights up to 10,000 points total. Not bad if you’ve got a few weekend getaways planned. It’s worth logging in to see if you were targeted. TPG reports even some Globalists didn’t get anything. Have...

Nice to see Hyatt expanding with the Royal Beach Hotel Punta Cana, and cool that it’s the first JdV by Hyatt in the Caribbean. The size sounds refreshingly manageable at 66 rooms, and I like the option to buy day passes to the bigger resorts nearby if you want a change of...
