Category 8 hotels will now cost up to 75,000 points per night, compared to 45,000 points currently at peak season rates. <\/p>\n\n<p>This complete overhaul of the award chart represents the first major structural change since 2021. Hyatt is moving from a three-tier pricing system (off-peak, standard, peak) to five tiers (Lowest, Low, Moderate, Upper and Top), creating price variations of up to 40,000 points per night within the same category. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-combien-couteront-les-nuits-d-hotel-hyatt-a-partir-de-mai-2026\">How much will Hyatt hotel nights cost starting May 2026?<\/h2>\n\n<p>Prices will vary considerably based on demand, with average increases of 25% to 37.5% compared to current rates.

The Park Hyatt Kyoto, Park Hyatt Beaver Creek, and Andaz Costa Rica could reach 75,000 points per night during high-demand periods. Properties located in year-round markets like Hawaii are likely to be priced at the Upper and Top levels almost permanently.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Hyatt imposes no limit on the number of nights that can be priced at the Top level and does not guarantee a minimum number of nights at the Lowest rate. This flexibility will allow hotels to adjust their prices based on demand, essentially creating a disguised dynamic pricing system. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"component component__deferred_contents wp-block-milesgutenberg-deferred-contents\">\n\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\tdata-template='m'\n\t\t\t\tdata-post_type='post'\n\t\t\t\tdata-per_page='4'\n\t\t\t\tclass='deferred_container--preload container_post container_template--m container_count--3'\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-tag=\"post_id\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-post_ids=\"457543,414360,232440\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t<article class=\"post-preview\">\n\n<div class=\"post-preview-thumbnail\">\n\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-image\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"post-preview-content\" style=\"top: 1em;\">\n\t<div class=\"simmer-bar-group\">\n\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article><article class=\"post-preview\">\n\n<div class=\"post-preview-thumbnail\">\n\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-image\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"post-preview-content\" style=\"top: 1em;\">\n\t<div class=\"simmer-bar-group\">\n\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article><article class=\"post-preview\">\n\n<div class=\"post-preview-thumbnail\">\n\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-image\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"post-preview-content\" style=\"top: 1em;\">\n\t<div class=\"simmer-bar-group\">\n\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/aside>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-comment-les-certificats-de-nuits-gratuites-world-of-hyatt-seront-ils-affectes\">How will World of Hyatt free night certificates be affected?<\/h2>\n\n<p>Good news: free night certificates (available with U.S. credit cards or for those who achieve Elite status) will retain their current value.

With increases of up to 67%, it is crucial to plan your point redemptions before these changes. Nevertheless, Hyatt maintains some transparency with its published chart, unlike its competitors. Free night certificate holders and elite members will benefit from some advantages, but the overall trend remains a significant devaluation that will gradually align with industry practices.   <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-questions-frequemment-posees\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<aside class=\"component component__faq wp-block-milesgutenberg-faq\">\n\t\n<div class=\"component component__faq__item component__faq__item--opened wp-block-milesgutenberg-faq-item\">\n\t<div class=\"component__faq__item__title\">\n\t\t<h4 id=\"how_much_will_a_night_at_the_park_hyatt_sydney_cost_exactly_after_may_2026_\" class=\"toc_exclude component__faq__item__title__heading\">\n\t\t\tHow much will a night at the Park Hyatt Sydney cost exactly after May 2026?\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t<i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"component__faq__item__content\">\n\t\t<div class=\"component__faq__item__content__inner\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<p>The Park Hyatt Sydney, currently in Category 7, will cost between 25,000 and 55,000 points per night starting May 2026, compared to 25,000 to 35,000 points currently.
