It looks like Hyatt is getting ready to make public their 2015 award chart changes.
You can see the full list here. Here’s a quick breakdown:
The changes go into affect for reservations made on or after January 22, 2015.
22 hotels are going up in category. Notables:
Park Hyatt Maldives goes from 6 to 7
Grand Hyatt Sao Paolo goes from 3 to 4
Andaz Amsterdam goes from 5 to 6
48 hotels are going down in category, including:
Hyatt French Quarter from 5 to 4
Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress from 5 to 4 (closest to Disney World)
MGM Grand from 5 to 4
Mandalay Bay from 6 to 5
Park Hyatt Washington from 6 to 5
More on this later. Posting from the train now, and my stop is coming up.
Overall, this doesn’t strike me as that bad. PH Maldives probably should have already been a 7. I think given the strength of the economy and the rise in occupancy, this could have been worse.

Maybe Park Hyatt Maldives will make cash and points available again after the change.
Charlie, that would sure be a plus.
