Guest of Honor (GOH) Awards are a premium benefit from Hyatt that let someone enjoy Globalist-level elite perks — even if they don’t personally hold Globalist status.
These awards are digital certificates that can be transferred to another World of Hyatt member and applied to an eligible stay, unlocking VIP treatment at participating Hyatt hotels worldwide.
What Is a Guest of Honor Award?
A Guest of Honor Award is earned by Hyatt Globalist members and can be shared with another member.
Once transferred, the award appears in the recipient’s World of Hyatt account and can be applied during booking.
When used, the stay receives many of the same on-property benefits as a Globalist member.
Benefits You Can Receive with a GOH Stay
When a GOH award is attached to your reservation, you may receive:
🍽️ Complimentary full breakfast
🛏️ Room or suite upgrade potential (based on availability)
⏰ Late checkout (often up to 4 PM)
🎁 Welcome amenities at select properties
💧 Waived resort fees on eligible stays
📶 Complimentary premium internet
At luxury hotels and resorts, these perks can easily be worth hundreds of dollars per stay.
