World of Hyatt award category changes
In general, some ultra luxury properties are going to cost even more points, and a few great “lower-end” properties are going to cost fewer points.
When will it take effect?
World of Hyatt has announced hotel category changes that will take effect for bookings (not stays) made on 20 May 2026.
Members can lock in the existing rates for bookings made before the deadline:
- If you made a booking before 20 May 2026 for a property that is going UP a category, you will not be affected by this change.
- If you made a booking before 20 May 2026 for a property that is going DOWN a category, you will be refunded the difference in points.
Notable properties going UP a category
From 20 May 2026, 112 properties worldwide will move up a category, in addition to the 6 announced in Feb 2026. These properties will be more expensive for points redemptions. In total, this accounts for about 8.7% of Hyatt’s global footprint.
Unfortunately, 3 properties on Suitesmile’s list of Hyatt Sweet Spots will cost more points for award stays.
These are some notable properties that will be going up a category:

Notable properties going DOWN a category
From 20 May 2026, 24 properties worldwide will move up a category, in addition to the 1 announced in Feb 2026. These properties will be more expensive for points redemptions. In total, this accounts for about 1.9% of Hyatt’s global footprint.

Every year World of Hyatt performs an audit of the number of points required to redeem a free night and Points + Cash at each property. A hotel’s Award Category may be adjusted based on the current market conditions.
16. How will hotels shift between Categories?
Some hotels will move to a higher Category and some hotels will move to a lower Category.
17. How many hotels are shifting to a higher Category?
112 hotels will move to a higher Award Category. Free night award redemptions at these hotels may require additional World of Hyatt points for reservations made or changed beginning 8:00 a.m. CT, May 20, 2026.
18. How many hotels are shifting to a lower Category?
24 hotels will move to a lower Award Category. Free night award redemptions at these hotels may require fewer World of Hyatt points for reservations or changed made beginning 8:00 a.m. CT, May 20, 2026.
19. For free night award redemption reservations made before 8:00 a.m. CT, May 20, 2026, which award chart will be effective?
All free night award redemptions booked before 8:00 a.m. CT, May 20, 2026, will follow the current award chart. For example, if you book an award night prior to 8:00 a.m. CT, May 20, 2026, for a stay that occurs on May 20 or after, the current award chart will apply. Any free night award redemptions booked or changed at 8:00 a.m. CT, May 20, 2026, or after will follow the new award chart.
20. For Category 1-4 award (including World of Hyatt Credit Card Anniversary Free Night Award) and Category 1-7 award reservations made before 8:00 a.m. CT, May 20, 2026, which award chart will be effective?
All Category 1-4 and 1-7 Free Night Awards booked before 8:00 a.m. CT, May 20, 2026, will follow the current award chart. For example, if you book a Category 1-4 or 1-7 Free Night Award night prior to 8:00 a.m. CT, May 20, 2026, for a stay that occurs on May 20, 2026, or after the current award chart will apply. Any Category 1-4 or 1-7 Free Night Award redemptions booked or changed at 8:00 a.m. CT, May 20, 2026, or after will follow the new award chart.
21. How will award nights booked prior to 8:00 a.m. CT, May 20, 2026, be impacted if the hotel I am staying at now requires more points?
Any Free Night or Points + Cash Award booked prior to 8:00 a.m. CT, May 20, 2026, at a property that is shifting to a higher Category and will require more points will not be affected. Reservations will remain in place at the originally booked point level. For example, a Free Night Award booked at a Category 1 hotel for 5,000 points before 8:00 a.m. CT, May 20, 2026, will remain at 5,000 points even if the hotel shifts to Category 2. If the member subsequently cancels this Free Night Award, only 5,000 points will be returned to the member’s account because the member only used 5,000 points originally.
22. How will award nights booked prior to 8:00 a.m. CT, May 20, 2026, be impacted if the hotel I am staying at now requires fewer points?
Any Free Night or Points + Cash Award booked prior to 8:00 a.m. CT, May 20, 2026, for nights on or after May 20, 2026, at a property that is shifting to a lower Category and will require fewer points will receive an adjustment starting on May 21, 2026. If the reservation that received an adjustment is canceled, the adjusted points total will be returned to the member’s account. For example, a member with a Free Night Award booked before 8:00 a.m. CT, May 20, 2026, for a Category 2 hotel for 8,000 points that is moving to a Category 1 hotel that requires 6,000 points at 8:00 a.m. CT, May 20, 2026, will receive 2,000 points returned to his/her account. If the member subsequently cancels this Free Night Award, only 6,000 points will be returned to the member’s account because 2,000 points will already have been returned.
23. Starting at 8:00 a.m. CT, May 20, 2026, how will modifications to existing reservations be handled?
Any modifications made to reservations on or after 8:00 a.m. CT, May 20, 2026, will follow the terms of the new Award Chart. Any modifications to Category 1-4 or 1-7 Award Night reservations that cause an award to be reissued cannot be redeemed for hotels that moved above Category 4 or 7, respectively, as part of these changes.
