Suite Upgrade Awards from Hyatt are one of the most powerful ways to guarantee a premium room or suite — without paying luxury suite prices.
These awards let eligible members confirm an upgrade in advance, instead of hoping for a complimentary upgrade at check-in.
What Is a Hyatt Suite Upgrade Award?
A Suite Upgrade Award is a digital certificate that can be applied to an eligible reservation to secure a better room type — often a standard suite — at the time of booking.
Instead of relying on availability at check-in, this benefit confirms your upgraded room before you arrive.
What Kind of Upgrade Can You Get?
When available, Suite Upgrade Awards can confirm:
✨ Standard suites
✨ Larger premium rooms
✨ Rooms with better views or layouts
The exact room category depends on the hotel’s eligible suite inventory, but this benefit can dramatically improve your stay experience.
How Suite Upgrade Awards Work
Here’s how the process typically works:
1️⃣ A member receives a Suite Upgrade Award in their Hyatt account
2️⃣ They make an eligible reservation (often a paid stay)
3️⃣ They apply the Suite Upgrade Award during or after booking
4️⃣ If eligible suite space is available, the upgrade is confirmed immediately
Unlike complimentary upgrades, this is not based on last-minute availability — it’s secured ahead of time.
How Long Is the Upgrade Valid?
Suite Upgrade Awards usually apply for:
✔ Stays of up to 7 consecutive nights
✔ One award per reservation
✔ Standard suites defined by the hotel
This makes them especially valuable for vacations, special occasions, or longer stays.
