Hyatt has a plethora of hotel brands ranging from extended stays like Hyatt House to high-end luxury properties such as Park Hyatt. And as of 2019, Hyatt's brands include the Destination by Hyatt brand.<\/p>\n

So far, Destination by Hyatt has consisted of hotels and resorts — which have always been bookable with points. Until recently, though, Destination residences<\/em> were not as widely available. But now, you can book 32 more residence properties with your World of Hyatt points<\/a>. That expands the Destination by Hyatt brand to a total of 60 locations:<\/p>\n

What is a Vacation Rental?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Vacation rentals differ from traditional hotels and resorts in that you are staying in someone's home — whether it's an apartment, traditional house, etc. Some of the more familiar and popular vacation rental companies you've heard of are AirBnB and VRBO.<\/p>\n

Destination by Hyatt's residences is Hyatt's own version of VRBO. And true to the Hyatt brand, Destination locations are all upper-scale accommodations meant to give an entire experience rather than just a hotel room. Or in Hyatt's words, this gives you the opportunity to “escape to a vacation home to live like a local and truly immerse in the culture of a community.”<\/p>\n

Destination residence properties include a completely furnished kitchen. Since eating out at restaurants can add up, families and large groups may find excellent value booking these.<\/p>\n

New Room Category for Hyatt Awards<\/span><\/h2>\n

Additionally, Hyatt has introduced another room type called a “Premium Room”. Before now, Hyatt classified award bookings into 4 room types — each with its own points rate:<\/p>\n
