One highlight of the World of Hyatt program is that it still uses award charts to determine the number of points you'll need to redeem for a free night. The World of Hyatt award chart for Hyatt hotels and resorts has eight categories, and standard rooms at Hyatt Category 4 hotels cost 12,000 points on off-peak nights, 15,000 points on standard nights and 18,000 points on peak nights.
Travelers often discuss Hyatt Category 4 hotels more than hotels in other categories because you can earn Category 1-4 certificates with the World of Hyatt Credit Card (see rates and fees), the Hyatt Milestone Rewards program and Hyatt's Brand Explorer promotion — and the best way to maximize these certificates is to use them at Category 4 hotels.
New applicants of the World of Hyatt Credit Card can earn two free nights at any Category 1-4 Hyatt hotel or resort after spending $4,000 in the first three months of account opening — plus an additional 25,000 bonus points after spending $12,000 in the first six months of account opening — if they apply by Aug. 28. So, here's a look at some of the best Hyatt Category 4 hotels.
