This is huge for Hyatt fans who have tended to lose their minds when trying to book an award at a coveted hotel with little availability. While there are third party tools that can check availability for you, Hyatt’s own website and app calendar – until now – could only show you what the price in points would be if available – but you had to check by by day for availability.

Worse, novices would see the date on the calendar or see “From XYZ points” on a booking page and assume availability, often transferring points for a room unavailable for points.
As of today, you can find both Standard Room and Standard Suite availability.
This is huge on two levels.
One, it’s so much easier to find space now.
Look and see how few award nights are available at the Park Hyatt Vendome in Paris this summer (you can find rooms far in advance, by the way, but peak summer close-in is very tough).
You can look month by month and, if you know you *need* a certain number of nights, you can even adjust that. So if you need two nights together or three nights together and can be flexible, it will show you exactly when is available.
Two, standard suites are super valuable for those with Suite Night Awards. These can be applied only to Standard Suites. So sure, you might not have Suite Night Awards and want to book a Suite on points and it’s great for that too – but finding Standard Suite availability for the upgrade awards is clutch.
I do need to note that within the Hyatt ecosystem lie hotels that have multiple Standard Suites and only one room type available for upgrade awards. At the Hyatt in San Diego, for example, they have two nearly identical Standard Suites – but only the room with a King Bed is available using SUAs.
The other one is presumably required to be given to a Globalist at check in, but you cannot use an upgrade instrument for it. That can’t be more confusing, but it’s accurate.
Long story short, Hyatt fans can rejoice tonight because things just got a bit easier…. and it works on both Hyatt.com and the app.
