I wanted to make this a great post on Hyatt suite upgrades - whether it’s booking a suite with points, using a suite upgrade on a paid stay (or cash & points), or using free nights from the credit card for suites, this post will help you find the best suites at any Hyatt.
I decided to make a chart of all the Hyatt hotels with the suites you get with upgrades and their estimated value (except Hyatt Place and Hyatt House and ineligible hotels for suite upgrades). Unfortunately this chart turned into a big project because I was manually searching to try to get the most accurate info. Dumb, but hopefully this will show you the most valuable suites and sweetest upgrade options.
But first let me quickly explain 2 ways you can end up in a suite using points.
2 ways to get a Hyatt suite:
1) Just use more points.
Just as Hyatt gives you the option to redeem points for a standard room, they also have an award chart for suites. For example, paying 8,000 points at a category 1 hotel, instead of 5,000 points, gets you a suite.
To see complete details check out the Hyatt Complete Guide section on Redeeming Hyatt Points.
2) Using a Diamond Suite Upgrade
Once you earn Hyatt Diamond Status, you get 4 suite upgrades to use on paid stays. Luckily there are two cool tricks about this. First, you can do a Hyatt Diamond Challenge (open to everyone) to get Diamond status after 12 paid nights. Second, once you get the upgrades, you can actually use them on cash & points rates.
Best Suites at Hyatt Hotels?
So what are the most extravagant suites you can blow your points at? Well, I’ve
wasted
spent a fair amount of time looking for the best suite options and here’s what I’ve come up with. (For the record, 100 sqm is 1,076 sq ft).
The chart is pretty big, so I’d first like to give some of the findings.
Park Hyatt Zanzibar – Park Suite King (100 sqm) $1,325 = 20,000 points
Unbelievably, this hotel has it’s lowest level suite consistently pricing out at $1,325. And this isn’t like Paris and Zurich, where the standard rate is already nearing $1,000 a night. Instead, the standard rate can be as “low” as $300 with tax, or less, making it a possible amazing use for people with more money than me. Although, given how new the hotel is, I wouldn’t be shocked if the prices of the hotel drops after a while.
Park Hyatt Shanghai – Park Suite King (130 sqm) $1,194 = 20,000 points
This is probably the biggest suite on the list, and it’s one of my most favorite hotels in the world. Never do I care about the hotel as much as the destination, but this would be close. The hotel is on floors 79 to 94, making it one of the highest sitting hotels in the world. Super modern, super big, and super expensive.
Park Hyatt Zurich – Park Suite King (72 sqm) $1,618 = 30,000 points
There are a ton of expensive suites on the list, but this is the most expensive.
Park Hyatt Tokyo – Park Suite King (100 sqm) $1,060 = 30,000 points
The hotel is everything I expect from a Park Hyatt (we got a room on floor 52 (I think), which still gave the skyscraper feel).
Best place for upgrades on paid stays:
Keep in mind that you can use your Citi Prestige to get the 4th night free, as explained by FrequentMiler, who has done some interesting tests on the benefit. The point here is that you can pay for 3 nights in a standard room, and get 4 nights in a suite. Given that most weekends are much cheaper, you could start your 4 nights on a Friday and you’ll get Monday morning reimbursed, yet you’ll still earn points on the expensive night.
Hyatt Capital Gate, Abu Dhabi Capital Suite (70 sqm) $322. Cash rate I found was for $87 a night, which makes an upgrade to a $322 suite more attractive.
Park Hyatt Goa Resort and Spa, Park Suite King (85 sqm) $438. The cash rate at this hotel was around $113 and my guess is that sometimes it’s a lot cheaper. While there are many hotels that are cheap in India, this is one with the luxury brand name of “Park Hyatt” and with a particularly impressive suite.
Hyatt on the Bund, Shanghai Bund Suite King (80 sqm) $484. I found paid rates around $161 a night and possibly lower.
Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa, Deluxe Ocean Suite (84 sqm) $1,099. Don’t think I’ve ever paid $255 for a single night at a hotel, but if you were going to in Maui, this suite brings in $1,099 a night.
Other honorable mentions:
Hyatt Regency Dusseldorf Regency Suite King (72 sqm) $791 for $228.
Grand Hyatt Istanbul Grand Suite King (80 sqm) $567 for $230.
Grand Hyatt Jakarta Grand Suite (100 sqm) $677 for $297.
Grand Hyatt Singapore Grand Suite King (83 sqm) $840 for $320.
Cheapest points for nice suite:
For merely 8,000 points (or 2,500 + $50 with an upgrade cert) category 1 hotels can be booked into a suite. A very low amount of points and yet you can get a suite worth a fair bit of money. And these suites are fairly large.
Hyatt Regency Kinabalu Regency Suite (89 sqm) $288 = 8,000 points
Hyatt Regency Kathmandu Regency Suite King (80 sqm) $165 $515 = 8,000 points
To the chart of Hyatt Suite upgrades:
Note: The “hotel price” is for standard room, and all prices are based off of a single date, or a few. Prices can wildly vary and these prices might be very different when you go check. However, values of suites usually go up and down at similar rates as the standard room. Prices are before tax and without any discount.
