Hyatt points chart 2026: five bands and the cost of three nights

Read the whole chart

World of Hyatt uses five bands: Lowest, Low, Moderate, Upper and Top. Planning a stay requires both the hotel category and the band applying to each night. The current official French chart confirms five levels; Hyatt’s announcement of 25 February 2026 introduced the framework from May while retaining published thresholds.

A category is not one price

For a category 4 standard room, the chart lists 12,000 / 15,000 / 20,000 / 22,500 / 25,000 points per night. The French columns are Minimum, Bas, Standard, Élevé and Maximum. This row concerns hotel standard rooms; do not confuse it with Club, suites or the separate all-inclusive chart. You still need to check the intended dates and the room actually bookable.

The value of nearby dates

An illustration: nights at 12,000, 20,000 and 25,000 total 57,000 points, averaging 19,000. Another combination of 15,000, 15,000 and 20,000 would require 50,000, or 7,000 fewer. The calculation shows the effect of the bands, not available rooms on specific dates.

Flexibility should serve the trip

Moving a departure should still fit flights, work and plans. Compare the award with the cash rate you would actually consider, including charges and terms. Saving points while adding an overnight transfer can change the result completely.

Save the nightly breakdown before changing the calendar. It reveals which day creates the difference and whether that difference survives recalculating transport. Check the room category available in both searches too; comparing different award products can create an apparent advantage unrelated to pricing bands. For a longer stay, read the total again before deciding. An appealing first night says little about the complete travel budget.

The SoftLuxNotes choice

Use the current five-band chart to orient the search and the booking summary to decide. Category alone promises neither price nor availability. The appealing stay combines a hotel you want, sensible dates and a clear total cost.

The practical check

Use the chart to guide the search, then check the exact nights and bookable room category in the booking engine. A category reference is not available inventory. If the award covers only part of the stay, compare the complete combination with a continuous cash rate and consider a possible room change. Do not transfer points towards availability you have not confirmed.
