Food and drinks can get expensive when traveling, but Hyatt Club Access Awards can help you save thanks to hotel lounge perks like breakfast, snacks, and drinks throughout the day. While not all Hyatt hotels have a club lounge, if you\u2019re staying at one that does, using a Club Access Award is an easy way to elevate your experience.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how these awards work and how to make the most of them.<\/p>\n

What Is a Hyatt Club Access Award?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Club Access Awards are among the many Hyatt Milestone Rewards<\/a> members can earn on their journey to elite status. These awards can be applied to eligible reservations for access to a hotel's club lounge \u2014 a private space where guests can relax outside their room while enjoying food and drinks.<\/p>\n

Guests with lounge access can enjoy breakfast, a selection of hot and cold beverages throughout the day, plus evening snacks and hors d\u2019oeuvres.<\/p>\n

Not all Hyatt hotels have a lounge, and even those that do may not have one operating throughout your stay. Club Access Awards can only be redeemed when club lounge access is available for the entire stay. Unlike Globalist members, Club Access Award holders aren't guaranteed complimentary restaurant breakfast if the lounge is closed.<\/p>\n

Hotels that typically offer club lounges include Park Hyatt, Hyatt Regency, and Grand Hyatt, though you may find lounges at other properties, too. And the experience varies widely by location. Lounges in Europe and Asia tend to offer superb food and service, while U.S. lounges are often more limited.<\/p>\n

How To Earn Hyatt Club Access Awards<\/span><\/h2>\n

There's only one way to earn these Club Access Awards, and that's through Milestone Rewards. When you reach 20 qualifying nights or earn 35,000 base points in a calendar year, you can choose two Club Access Awards as your Milestone Reward. You'll have another opportunity to choose two awards at 30 qualifying nights or 50,000 base points.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll notice Club Access Awards are only offered early on in the Milestone Rewards journey, and that\u2019s by design. Once you reach Globalist status at 60 qualifying nights or 100,000 base points, lounge access is already included on all eligible stays.<\/p>\n
