Hyatt has an ever growing footprint and portfolio ranging from business oriented settings to a touch of modern luxury. Here’s my list of the Top 10 Hyatt Properties in the United States!
What goes into my rankings?
When looking at properties, I strongly prefer a leisure space with a modern touch. A hotel’s design, location, and service all play a crucial role in my rankings. I hope you enjoy this read.
10. Carmel Valley Ranch, Unbound Collection by Hyatt
One of my favorite Hyatt properties, Carmel Valley Ranch is a retreat like property located in Carmel Valley, about 10 minutes from Carmel by the Sea. The property is also a short drive from Monterey. Carmel Valley Ranch offers a retreat like feel with personalized service and a great place to wind down.

9. Park Hyatt Washington D.C.
This property may not be on many lists, but after treating my parents to a stay at this property using Hyatt’s Guest of Honor, I was genuinely impressed. The complimentary breakfast for Hyatt Globalist is exceptional. This property eloquently combines the city’s old feel with modern design.
Property Category: 5
Points Cost: 17,000-23,000
8. Thompson Seattle
The Thompson brand by Hyatt creates a unique boutique feel. The brand’s mission is to “create a place where culture lives”. The Thompson Seattle is perfectly situated near Pike’s Place and elegantly designed.

7.Alila Marea Beach Resort Encinitas
A great beach front property located in Encinitas, CA (North of San Diego), the Alila Marea Beach Resort Encinitas embodies the Alila Brand’s take on sustainable yet luxurious comfort and living. Each Alila branded hotel is truly exceptional.
Property Category: 7
Points Cost: 25,000-35,000
6.Grand Hyatt Kauai
Kauai is the fourth larges island in Hawaii. IT is often the forgotten island as most travelers tend to visit Oahu or Maui. This island is lush, with most of the island covered in tropical rainforest. Located on the Southern tip of the island, the Grand Hyatt Kauai is a sprawling beach front resorts that perfect for couples and families.
Property Category: 7
Points Cost: 25,000-35,000
5. Park Hyatt New York
Some people might have this property higher on their list, but New York doesn’t spell glamour like the old days. Regardless, the Park Hyatt New York is still one of the best Hyatt properties situated in the heart of New York. This property is in category 8 with nights costing a whopping 35,000-45,000 points.
Property Category: 8
Points Cost:35,000 – 45,000
4. Hana-Maui Resort
One of the properties on my bucket list, I hope to travel to Maui with Jen in the near future. Having traveled to Hawaii numerous times, I’ve never actually been to Maui. Jen and I have traveled to Oahu multiple times together, while I also had a short trip with my parents to Kona(big island). The Hana-Maui Resort is located East of the Hana Forest Reserve and ways from either airport on the Island. Because of its location, it is suggested to rent a car at the airport or schedule a ride in advance as it may be difficult to find an Uber or Lyft upon arrival. The resort looks spectacular and you’re a short walk from the fame Hana Bay Beach (Black Sand Beach).
Property Category: 7
Points Cost: 25,000 – 35,000
3. Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort
One of most luxurious properties in Maui, the Andaz Maui opened its door in 2013 and continues to offer travelers a one of kind luxury experience in Wailea. The property is situated in Wailea next to other top tier properties such as the Grand Wailea A Waldorf Astoria Resort. This property in category 8 and can cost you up to 45,000 points per night. While this property is splendid, Maui is a great place to explore, hike, visit beaches, leaving little time for resort activities. I’m not sure this property suits Jen and I, but if I had a huge stash of Hyatt points (I currently spend most of mine) I would definitely consider this spot.
Property Category: 8
Points Cost:35,000 – 45,000
2.Alila Napa Valley
Jen and I had the wonderful opportunity to stay at this property in April 2022. We booked our two night stay using a category 1-7 certificate and 30,000 points back when the property was still in category 7. The Alila Napa Valley takes the number 2 spot in our Top 10 Hyatt Hotels in the United States due to its elegant design, excellent service, and just overall wonderful ambiance. The room we had was simply amazing and the service was the best I’ve ever had. When our room wasn’t ready right at 4pm, the manager came outside and asked if we wanted any bites on the house. While I’m not one to be bothered by a short delay, the small gestures made by the staff went a long way. Overall, this is one of my favorite properties of all time and the stone bathrooms were a thing of beauty.

1.Alila Ventana Big Sur
The crown jewel of Hyatt Properties in the United States, everyone raves about the Alila Ventana Big Sur. Located on the beautiful Californian coast, this is one of the most exclusive properties in Hyatt’s portfolio. Award nights(if they can be found) range from 35,000-45,000 points per night. Standard rates are absurd and nights can run you over $3,000 per night for a base room.
