World of Hyatt loyalists finally have the information they’ve been waiting for: the dates of the upcoming award chart and category changes. And for better or worse, these dates are one and the same: May 20 at 9 a.m. EDT.<\/p>\n

As TPG previously reported, Hyatt is drastically changing its award chart<\/span>. The award chart for Hyatt hotels and resorts<\/span> will still be Category 1 through 8, but there will now be five pricing tiers for each category, instead of three. And on average, it appears many award stays will be more expensive under the new chart.<\/p>\n

New Hyatt award chart that will begin May 20. HYATT<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

136 Hyatt hotels and resorts will change categories on May 20: 112 will go up, and 24 will go down. However, it’s important to remember that more than 90% of properties will remain in their current categories. Plus, Hyatt has told TPG, “as we continue to implement the new award chart, we anticipate that the percent of category adjustments will further decline over time.”<\/p>\n

Here’s the full list of hotels<\/span> that will be changing category on May 20.<\/p>\n

TPG’s Eric Rosen<\/span> is sad to see The Beekman, A Thompson Hotel, in New York go from Category 6 to 7. He’s also frustrated to see Alila Mayakoba<\/span> go from Category 6 to 7, noting, “It * just * reopened after all.” Meanwhile, TPG’s Clint Henderson<\/span> is disappointed he’ll no longer be able to use Category 1-4 certificates<\/span> at the Hyatt Regency Coral Gables and Hyatt Regency Seattle, both of which will move from Category 4 to 5.<\/p>\n

On the lower category side, Eric and I are both sad to see the Hyatt Regency Cape Town and Hyatt Place Kyoto<\/span> go up in category, from 1 to 2 and 2 to 3, respectively. I’m also disappointed to see the Andaz Capital Gate, Abu Dhabi<\/span>, move from Category 3 to 4 and the Hyatt Regency Kuantan Resort<\/span> move from Category 1 to 2, as I’ve loved staying at both properties multiple times in the past. The Story Hotel Stockholm North’s upcoming move from Category 1 to 2 is also painful, as I really enjoyed using a suite upgrade award<\/span> there last year.<\/p>\n
