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. The more nights you stay at Hyatt properties, the more rewards you unlock. Club Access Awards let you upgrade eligible reservations with access to the hotel\u2019s club lounge \u2014 a private space with food, drinks, and seating.<\/p>\n
Guests with lounge access can enjoy breakfast (for up to two adults and two children on the reservation), 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 be fully operational at the time of your stay. Some clubs close on weekends, or holidays, so do make sure to check your specific hotel. Generally, if the club is closed during your stay, and you have access to the club via your status or because you used a Club Access Award, you will still enjoy breakfast at the hotel's restaurant.<\/p>\n

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. These awards fall into the \u201cselectable\u201d category, meaning you choose them from a list of options once you hit certain night thresholds.<\/p>\n
Your first opportunity to pick Club Access Awards comes at 20 qualifying nights, followed by another at 30 nights. Each milestone gives you two awards, which can be used for future stays \u2014 either for yourself or someone else.<\/p>\n
Credit: Hyatt<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\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 (60 qualifying nights), lounge access is included on all eligible stays, so there\u2019s not much sense in rewarding members with additional Club Access Awards.<\/p>\n
