World of Hyatt<\/a> made a minor but super helpful tweak to its website to help prospective award travelers easily navigate search results. Now, when you search for a Hyatt hotel, you'll see the property's award category appended to the top of the listing. For those with Hyatt Category 1-4 night certificates<\/a>, this adjustment makes it even easier to find properties where you can use your certificate.<\/p>\n

As to why this feature wasn't already a thing, well, we don't know. But we're glad Hyatt opened its website editor and added each hotel and resort's respective category.<\/p>\n

There's no rollout, as the categories are already showing on all of Hyatt's properties — except those that fall under the Mr & Mrs Smith<\/a> umbrella.<\/p>\n

Category numbers are visible to the right of each hotel or resort's star rating.<\/p>\n

This new feature is very minor but majorly helpful. In the past, award travelers were all but required to visit each hotel's website and look around for text that specified the category. Savvy travelers who had memorized Hyatt's award chart had it a little easier, as Hyatt prices fall into a handful of memorizable rates.<\/p>\n

Plus, as Hyatt recategorizes select hotels and resorts annually<\/a>, the changes will be easier to spot.<\/p>\n

But thankfully, those days of poking around for categories are gone, as Hyatt simply just spells the category out on each listing. Now, when you redeem your Category 1-4 free night certificates courtesy of Brand Explorer awards<\/a> or The World of Hyatt Credit Card<\/a>, you won't have to guess or dig around to locate whether or not your free night is valid at a property that catches your eye.<\/p>\n
