The World of Hyatt program houses a handful of lavish brands worldwide, from Park Hyatt to Alila to Andaz. And by transferring your Bilt Points to Hyatt, you can book a stay at any of these awe-inspiring hotels and resorts that can easily cost more than $1,000 per night.
Here are 9 of the best luxury Hyatt hotels worldwide, from the Maldives to St. Kitts.
Park Hyatt New York
The Park Hyatt New York is the quintessential five-star luxury hotel in the heart of Midtown. With floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of Central Park, you’ll want to request a room with the highest floor possible. Wellness is the name of the game here—you’ll find an indoor lap pool and hot tub next to the spacious fitness center outfitted with Peloton and Technogym equipment, as well as a full-service spa with a eucalyptus steam room.
As a Hyatt Category 8 property, award nights at the Park Hyatt New York will range between 35,000 and 45,000 points per night depending on the time of year you visit. Compared to nightly rates soaring over $1,000, you can score an excellent redemption value.
Alila Ventana Big Sur
The Alila Ventana Big Sur in Monterey, California, is an elevated all-inclusive resort burrowed between redwood forests and the famed Pacific Coast Highway. There are plenty of amenities included in your room rate beyond your breakfast, lunch, and dinner, such as yoga classes, daily hikes, and even a chauffeur service within a three-mile radius of the property.
It’s another Hyatt Category 8 property, which is the highest level in Hyatt’s award chart. And as one of the most popular properties in the Hyatt program, there’s admittedly limited dates available for points bookings. However, if you can find the award space, you can book the Alila Ventana Big Sur for 35,000 points to 45,000 points per night. This is a tremendous deal compared to cash rates at nearly $2,500 per night for two people, unlocking incredible value.
Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa
The Maldives itself is a grandiose destination on many of our bucket lists, but the Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa is an accommodation that takes it to the next level. There are just 51 overwater villas on-site, as well as the opportunity to snorkel and dive among the all-natural house reef.
It can sometimes cost up to $1,900 per night to stay at the Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa. But as a Category 7 property, you can redeem 25,000 to 35,000 points per night instead.
Grand Hyatt Kauai
The Grand Hyatt Kauai is a romantic oceanfront getaway that features lush gardens, a Hawaiian spa and access to the Poipu Bay golf course. Each guest room features a private patio or a sunroom, and the resort property boasts vast pools with water slides and a lazy river.
You’ll need to save up 25,000 to 35,000 points to book a night at the Grand Hyatt Kauai, which has recently become a Category 7 property. But it’ll be well-worth the effort as it costs $1,200 per night at this resort, securing you a respectable redemption.
Park Hyatt St. Kitts Christophe Harbour
Planning a Caribbean vacation anytime soon? On the paradisal island of St. Kitts and Nevis, you’ll find the Park Hyatt St. Kitts Christophe Harbour. This luxurious beachfront resort offers yoga and meditation classes, both adults-only and family-friendly swimming pools, and guided water activities such as paddleboarding and kayaking.
Compared to paid rates of $800 per night, redeeming your points for this Category 7 property is a great deal that requires 25,000 to 35,000 points per night.
The Cape, a Thompson Hotel
The Cape, a Thompson Hotel feels like a boutique stay rather than a cookie-cutter hotel experience. It’s a breathtaking property that offers a range of dining options focused on fresh, local Mexican cuisine. Every room has large private balconies overlooking El Arco where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez.
You’ll need 25,000 to 35,000 points per night for a standard room at this Category 7 hotel, depending on the time of year you visit Cabo. Redeeming points for The Cape, a Thompson Hotel confers a solid redemption value with paid rates at $750+ per night.
Andaz Papagayo
One of the finest resorts in the Guanacaste province of Costa Rica, the Andaz Papagayo delivers a sublime experience for travelers looking to divulge in the surrounding natural beauty. You can explore the area with complimentary kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, snorkel gear, electric bikes, or by simply taking advantage of the many walking trails.
Andaz Papagayo has recently become a Category 6 property, so award bookings will run you 21,000 to 29,000 points per night. That’s still a fantastic deal as nights at this resort cost about $1,200.
Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme
Located in the posh 2nd arrondissement of Paris, the Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme is a historic property that’s nothing short of elegant. The hotel’s elevated amenities include a Michelin-starred restaurant and a decked-out spa with a sauna and hot tub.
It’s a Category 8 property, so nights will run you more than $1,500 per night. Therefore, redeeming 35,000-45,000 points per night is a far better deal.
Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills
The Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills is set high above one of the tallest buildings in the bustling Japanese capital, with a rooftop bar and indoor pool to boot. Even better, the Tokyo metro is steps away from the hotel, giving you seamless connections to other neighborhoods across the city.
This five-star property comes with a hefty price tag of around $1,100 per night. By booking the Category 7 property with 25,000 to 35,000 points, you can achieve an excellent value for your points at the Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills.
