Let’s unpack Hyatt’s preferred partnership program for travel advisors, known as Hyatt Privé. Booking a Privé rate gets you exclusive benefits for your stay. I’m a Hyatt Privé advisor, which means my clients get access to the benefits offered through this program, on top of my existing relationships with Hyatt properties around the world.
One of the best perks about Privé bookings is being able to guarantee upgrades at time of booking, as well as connecting rooms.
What are the benefits?
The specific benefits vary by property, but generally will look like this:
- Complimentary room upgrade, subject to availability (confirmed within 24 hours of booking)
- $50 – $100 USD property credit per stay (amount varies by property)
- Complimentary daily breakfast
- Welcome amenity
- Priority for early check-in / late check-out (subject to availability)
- Priority for connecting rooms (subject to availability)
Which hotels participate in Hyatt Privé?
A select number of hotels participate in the program. This includes hotels under Park Hyatt, Alila, Miraval, Grand Hyatt, The Unbound Collection, Andaz, Thompson Hotels, Destination by Hyatt, Hyatt Regency, Hyatt Centric, JdV by Hyatt, Impression by Secrets, Hyatt Zilara, Hyatt Ziva, Zoetry, Secrets, and Dreams. Reach out for information about benefits at a specific property.
Is there a fee to book Hyatt Privé through an advisor?
Nope. There are no fees for my services. Hotels pay advisors a commission, so you get the added perks with no markups.
I already have status with Hyatt. Is there any benefit to booking Hyatt Privé?
Yes! Your benefits as a status holder will stack with Privé benefits. For overlapping benefits, you’ll receive the benefit only once. Breakfast is a good example, since it’s one of the harder perks to get with status alone at many Hyatt hotels.
Will I earn points with a Hyatt Privé stay?
Yup. These bookings are considered direct with the hotel and will show up on your World of Hyatt account. You’ll receive points and nights per usual and pay directly to the hotel at the end of your stay.
Can I book a Hyatt Privé stay with points?
Unfortunately these cannot be combined and I don’t handle points bookings. Travel advisors cannot add perks if you’re booking on points.
How does Hyatt Privé compare to Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts or Chase The Edit?
All three are good ways to add perks to a stay but the hotel’s own program is usually going to have the best perks and priority. Hyatt Privé is Hyatt’s own program and the upgrade is confirmed within 24 hours of booking, so you’re not waiting until check-in to find out.
Is there a minimum stay needed to book Hyatt Privé?
For Park Hyatt, Miraval, Andaz, and Thompson Hotels, there is no minimum stay. Other brands require 2+ nights.
How do I book Hyatt Privé?
Reach out with your dates and desired location to get started, or email me for my booking engine link if you’d prefer to book yourself. No matter how you book, I’ll always be in touch to ensure I know your preferences and can answer any questions
