Best Category 1 Hyatt hotels

As a value-minded traveler, I love finding and staying at Category 1 Hyatt properties. These hotels often aren’t on our list of the best Hyatt hotels, but you can book them for a fraction of the points you’d need at higher-category properties.

Based on the Hyatt award chart, travelers can book a standard room at a Category 1 Hyatt hotel for 3,500 points on off-peak nights, 5,000 points on standard nights and 6,500 points on peak nights. Plus, you may be able to book a room with Club lounge access for 5,500 to 8,500 points per night and a standard suite for 6,500 to 9,500 points per night; a premium suite may go for 7,000 to 13,000 points per night if the property offers this room type. Some Hyatt Category 1 properties also offer inexpensive paid rates, so it’s worth considering whether you should redeem Hyatt points or book a paid rate.

This article only includes two U.S. hotels, as most of the best Category 1 Hyatt properties are abroad. However, it’s still worth looking for Category 1 Hyatt hotels in the U.S. when you’re on a road trip or need to stay near an airport. For example, there are two Category 1 Hyatt Place hotels near Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) with complimentary airport shuttles that I stay at several times a year.
