In 1957, Jay Pritzker bought Hyatt House Motel near Los Angeles International Airport and established the Hyatt brand. Hyatt Hotels currently has nearly 1,200 hotels and resorts in 57 countries with 18 brands. In terms of quantity alone, it is the fewest of the world’s major hotel groups, but the quality of Hyatt’s hotels is still very good.

World of Hyatt points redeem for a free room
World of Hyatt points can be redeemed for free room stays, and hotels are divided into 8 levels (CAT8), and the points used to redeem free rooms vary depending on the hotel level.
In addition, World of Hyatt Points are special in that they can be used to upgrade room types and are open to all members:
- Upgrade to Club room and your points are: 3000/6000/9000 points per night.
- The upgrade can be completed as long as the corresponding room is available at the time of booking, of which the Regency Club upgrade can be completed on the official website, and the standard and designated superior suite upgrades need to be operated by calling customer service.
- The room rate is calculated according to the Standard Rate on the day of the upgrade and any discounted rate will not be accepted.
In addition, if you don’t have enough points in your account, you can also choose to redeem the room night by cash + points. Points used in this way are also determined by the level of the hotel, which can be found on the Hyatt Regency website.
World of Hyatt points are converted into airline miles
Points in Hyatt member accounts can be redeemed for airline miles, and there are about 20 airlines around the world that are Hyatt’s partners, including Air France, Aeromexico, Air China, All Nippon Airlines, American Airlines and more. The percentage of redemption can be found here.
In general, the use of Hyatt points is not as good as Accor Points. But Hyatt Regency is more famous for its dining quality, whether it is an executive lounge or a hotel restaurant, it is worth trying.
