The World of Hyatt program is my favorite hotel loyalty program for a reason. Hyatt charges far fewer points for a free night than the competition — including when booking the best rooms at top-tier properties — in addition to the stellar benefits for elites.
Hyatt has gone “all in” on luxury properties, and as a result there are dozens of aspirational points bookings that can be made throughout the world in the program.
If you have a large Hyatt point balance like I do (or some Ultimate Rewards points stashed away), you might peruse the Hyatt website to find some aspirational redemptions. Here's a list we compiled of some of our favorites.
An Award for Everyone
The notion of what constitutes an “aspirational hotel booking” is different for everyone. Some people want an island destination with an endless supply of refreshing cocktails. Others want to imitate royalty in a ginormous suite overlooking snow-covered mountains. Still others think of multi-room residences where they can invite all their friends.
Regardless of your preferences, Hyatt's unique portfolio of properties has something for everyone. In this post, we'll be focused specifically on amazing suites that ANYONE can book with Hyatt points. That means no elite status or “social engineering” is required. All you need is a free World of Hyatt account and some points to spend.

Huge Suites
We haven't set a minimum square footage requirement by which to judge a room. Instead, I've narrowed the list to what I consider the most interesting options, alternating between U.S. and international destinations. This is admittedly subjective, but since I'm basing this post on my own aspirational searches, I get to make the rules!
Hyatt Regency Orlando
Orlando is a popular destination for many families. The Hyatt Regency Orlando is primarily a convention hotel but is situated very close to Universal Studios (and its new Epic Universe park) and a short drive to Walt Disney World. The property also features a resort-style pool complex, so it's a great fit for leisure stays as well.
- Location: Orlando, Florida, U.S.A.
- Room type: Presidential Suite
- Price (in points) per night: 30,000
- Description from hotel website: Live large in 1,357–2,068 square feet, with a king bed, one or two bedrooms, and bi-level options. This suite includes a workstation, master suite, and dining and living room.
- Cool points: Extremely high cent-per-point value, great location for park hopping
- Hotel website
If you're looking for some space, the Presidential Suite offers a ton of square footage. Cash rates can go as high as $10,000 per night, making 30,000 points an incredible value.
Hyatt Regency Kuantan Resort
Located right on the South China Sea, the Hyatt Regency Kuantan Resort is an absolute steal. Base-level rooms here cost only 5,000 points per night, and the standard suite, the Regency Suite King, costs 8,000 points a night. That means Globalists can use their suite upgrades for this room type. Even if you're not a top-tier member, it's bookable on points. I love that the room includes breakfast and club access, which is quite a deal.
- Location: Kuantan Pahang, Malaysia
- Room type: Regency Suite
- Price (in points) per night: 8,000
- Description from hotel website: Enjoy the extra space in this elegant 91-square-meter suite, with one king bedroom, living and dining spaces as well as private balcony.

Canapés and cocktails are served dialy at the Club lounge from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
- Cool points: Includes breakfast and happy hour
- Hotel website
Park Hyatt New York
The Park Hyatt New York is now a Category 8, making this a pricey redemption. But, with room rates soaring over $1,400 points a night, it's still a reasonable points value. The ability to use points for a massive room right next to Central Park makes this a fun option in the city.
- Location: New York City, New York
- Room type: 1 Bedroom City View Suite
- Price (in points) per night: 70,000
- Description from hotel website: This 1,000-square-foot corner suite offers striking views, a living area, natural stone flooringa nd luxurious amenities.
- Cool points: Massive space for Manhattan
- Hotel website
Andaz Costa Rica Papagayo
The Andaz Costa Rica is one of my favorite stays ever with World of Hyatt (I just wish it was still a Category 4!). The property has become very popular in recent years, so award availability can be tough to find in peak season.
This suite is fantastic for its views of the bay, made better by large patio doors that swing open to let nature into the suite. Just note that the local monkeys can be a bit meddlesome, so don't leave windows open unattended!
- Location: Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica
- Room type: Andaz Bay View Suite
- Price (in points) per night: 50,000
- Description from hotel website: Soak in jaw-dropping panormaic views of Culebra Bay from this spacious corner suite with one king bed, a balcony, separate sitting and work areas, and floor-to-ceiling windows.
- Cool points: Stunning ocean views
- Hotel website
Alila Napa Valley
The Alila Napa has been on my list for quite some time, but at 40,000 points a night for standard room nights, it will have to be a special occasion! The hotel's suites are pretty expansive and have amazing views of the main draw in Napa: the vineyards.
- Location: Napa, California, USA
- Room type: Vineyard View Suite
- Price (in points) per night: 70,000
- Description from hotel website: Our most expansive suites offer both vineyard and mountain views from the private balcony with fire pit, a full separate living room, and ultimately, the sense of luxury that space provides. From the king bedroom to the rainfall shower and deep soaking tub in the spa-inspired marble bathroom, everything in this suite is designed to help you make the most of your Napa experience. 1464-1494 square feet.
- Cool points: Fire pit on balcony overlooking vineyards
- Hotel website
Make sure to arrange a tour of the next-door Beringer Vineyards.
Andaz Scottsdale Resort & Bungalows
Scottsdale has become a very popular destination in recent years, especially for wellness retreats. The Sonoran Wellness Suite is pretty amazing since you have a private workout room with some high tech gym gadgetry.
The Andaz Scottsdale is a favorite of ours- we're locals and a staycation usually happens once a year. Don't miss breakfast at Weft + Warp!
- Location: Scottsdale, Arizona
- Room type: Sonoran Wellness Suite
- Price (in points) per night: 42,000
- Description from hotel website: Whether you are looking for a relaxing getaway or want to keep with your wellness routine, this suite provides the perfect healthy retreat within the serenity of the Sonoran Desert- complete with a king bedroom, queen-size sleeper sofa, and two full bathrooms as well as a Tonal smart-gym stystem with personalized coaching and digital weights. Enjoy access to two complimentary cruiser bikes and the Spa pool, along with a healthy minibar and private terraces for recovery time in your suite.
- Cool points: Private gym!
- Hotel website
Bonus: Park Hyatt St. Kitts Christophe Harbour
No list of premium Hyatt suites is complete without mentioning the Park Hyatt St. Kitts Christophe Harbour. It's one of the newest Park Hyatts in the chain's portfolio, and it's celebrated as one of the best.
Even better, World of Hyatt members can potentially lock in a once-in-a-lifetime suite that could potentially make the trip by itself. The Plunge Pool Rooftop Deluxe Suites are all located on the top floor with their own private plunge pools. Gaze out over glorious views of the Caribbean and chill with a cocktail and a good book. With a room like this, there's almost no need to go anywhere else!
- Location: St. Kitts and Nevis
- Room type: Plunge Pool Rooftop Deluxe Suite
- Price (in points) per night: 50,000
- Description from hotel website: Soar in 905 square feet with an additional private deck of 1,305 square feet. One king bed, deep soaking tub, separate lounge and dining areas, and private plunge pool and terrace with views of Nevis.
- Cool points: Over 2,200 square feet in total space, private rooftop plunge pool
- Hotel website
Multi-Bedroom Suites
Not everyone travels alone or as a couple. If you're looking for a room with extra beds and more privacy, a multi-bedroom suite might be the solution.
With any hotel program, these suites are a bit trickier to lock down with points. Not only are these rooms rarer in general, but they can be incredibly expensive. Thus, it's typically less expensive to book multiple standard rooms than it is to book one multi-room suite.
However, exceptions do exist! And since I recognize that many folks look for places they can take the whole family, I've scouted around for some unique options.
Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort
This first suite is a fantastic beach getaway option for a family or group of friends. Situated along the “Millionaire's Mile” of Kamala Beach, the Hyatt Regency Phuket delivers incredible water activities and glorious views over the Andaman Sea.
The 2-Bedroom Regency Suite provides plenty of space and two separate bedrooms to give larger parties their privacy. It also provides an awesome balcony perfect for a sunset cocktail gathering. All this for just 17,000 points per night. Even better, this is technically a standard suite, so Globalists and those with suite upgrades could possibly score this suite for less.
- Location: Phuket, Thailand
- Room type: 2 Bedroom Regency Suite
- Price (in points) per night: 17,000
- Description from hotel website: Revel in the Andaman Sea views from this spacious 97-square-meter suite, with one king and one twin bedroom, a separate living area, a large balcony featuring a daybed and dining table, and Regency Club lounge and infinity pool access.
- Cool points: Two bedrooms, private balcony
- Hotel website
The Lodge at Spruce Peak
The Lodge at Spruce Creek is part of Hyatt's “Destination Hotels” brand. Like a Hyatt Vacation Club, rooms typically include a kitchen and more home-like furnishings. Situated in the village of Stowe, Vermont, it's the only ski-in/ski-out property in town, so the extra space is needed with all the gear. Fans of warm mountain lodge decor with stunning mountain vistas and raging fireplaces will feel right at home.
There are three room types here offering two bedrooms, all of which price at the “Premium Suite” level of 70,000 points per night. The best of the three is the Alpine Two Bedroom Suite. All suites are on the top floor with private balconies and gorgeous views of the mountain slopes. And while some may balk at the 70K price tag, it actually offers stellar value in peak season when cash rates run as high as $1,700 per night!
- Location: Stowe, Vermont, U.S.A.
- Room type: Alpine Two Bedroom Suite
- Price (in points) per night: 70,000
- Description from hotel website: This 1,200-square-foot suite comes with two private bedrooms, with either a king bed or double beds, as well as a sofa bed in the living area. This suite also features mountain views from the top floor, a private balcony, a full kitchen, and a gas fireplace.
- Cool points: Full kitchen, fireplace
- Hotel website
Park Hyatt Mendoza
If you're a wine connoisseur, you've probably heard of this beautiful region of Argentina. Bordering the Andes Mountains, it's home to dozens of high-altitude vineyards famed for crafting Malbecs and other red wines.
The Park Hyatt's facade is that of a twentieth-century neo-classical French Academy. It's located in the city center, just across the street from Plaza Independencia. Naturally, all the rooms here offer a luxurious setting with classy minimalist decor. As a lowly Category 3 property, Premium Suites cost just 24,000 points per night. For that price, the Governors Suite offers almost 1,400 square feet and three beds.
- Location: Mendoza, Argentina
- Room type: Governors Suite
- Price (in points) per night: 24,000
- Description from hotel website: Enjoy an exclusive 130-square-meter suite, furnished with sleek minimalist decor, local artworks, plus one king bed and bedroom featuring two twin beds. Fantastic views of the city welcome you to an elegant retreat offering every amenity, including kitchenette, marble bath with separate shower, generous work desk and free Wi-Fi internet access.
- Cool points: Incredible views of the vineyard landscapes at the foot of the Andes Mountains
- Hotel website
It's been a few years since I've visited the property, but if you're visiting Mendoza, the hotel is located in the perfect part of the region, making winery access easy.
Bottom Line
Hyatt's fantastic award chart is unique among hotel loyalty programs. There's no need to pay absurd award rates (like Hilton Honors) or pray for complimentary upgrades (like Marriott Bonvoy) to secure a premium suite. No, Hyatt allows even non-elite members to snag incredible rooms for a reasonable number of points.
Whether you're looking to book a two-bedroom suite or simply on a mission to house the whole family, be sure to click those “Standard Suite” or “Premium Suite” tabs in your search. You never know what you may find.
