How to book a Hyatt Privé stay?
Hyatt Privé stays can’t be booked by just anyone. You’re required to use an eligible travel agent to book a stay. So, there is no Hyatt travel agent rate per se. Instead, a travel agent uses a Hyatt Privé code to ensure you receive your benefits.
The good news is that are reputable agents out there who can get the job done. Personally, Spencer Howard is a friend and someone I recommend. There are other travel agents mentioned in this article and this article. Generally speaking, these travel agents do not charge a fee to book a stay.
The Hyatt Privé rate should be identical to the “Standard Rate” shown on the Hyatt website. Unfortunately, Hyatt Privé benefits are not available for points stays or Hyatt/third-party discounted rate stays such as a member discounted rate, AAA, or corporate rate.
What’s the best credit card to to use book a Hyatt Privé stay?
It’s hard to beat using the World of Hyatt credit card for Hyatt stays as cardmembers earn 4x points at Hyatt. If you find yourself paying cash for Hyatt stays regularly, this card can be a great option. Other credit card options include Chase Sapphire Reserve, Amex Green Card, and Citi Premier Card. Each of these cards earns 3x points on hotel spending.
