It’s that time of year. Hyatt is changing their award pricing on a ton of hotels…it decimates a lot of really great hotels. This year…372 of them of changing.
158 are going down in category pricing and 214 of them of going up.
The change happens on 3/28/23 at 8am CDT. If you book after that date the new pricing in en force. However, if you book a hotel that is going up in price prior to the change, you’ll keep the cheaper pricing. If you book a hotel that is going down, they will refund you the difference. You can see all the details here
Here’s a list of some of the notable ones that are moving ( a lot of good value properties are going up – Park Hyatt Saigon, Grand Hyatt Nashville, New Orleans Eliza Jane, Grand Hyatt Kauai, Grand Hyatt Seoul, Grand Hyatt Bali, Thompson Madrid ) and there aren’t many going down I’m too excited about, but I may be actually staying in a couple of them: Thompson Dc, and Hyatt Regency Kyoto sooner than later. So that will be lucky for me, but Hyatt dropped a bomb on a lot of award redemptions
