I'm looking for ideas on where to spend my 2 free Hyatt sign up points domestically. I'm leaning to Park Hyatt NYC. Any other suggestions anywhere is US?

is this an all inclusive. I heard some have been able to use nights for all inclusive.

Hi, I just got my card last week. I will be done spending this week. I am considering Ziva but will probably stick with NYC since I have 4 of us to get somewhere. I hope you post a review of your stay because I still may change my mind.
Thx

I like the Park Hyatts in Washington DC and Chicago. The Chicago property is well based for walking and public transportation. The DC property is not. The Grand Hyatt Seattle is a solid property. The Carmel Highlands is at the north end of the Big Sur coastline and a personal favorite. There is considerable variation in rooms. I am a diamond so am well content with what I am given. I get a view room. Others don't.

THANK YOU! I wonder if a Platinum would be able to get a good room in Carmel. Washington is definitely a possibility and I appreciate the mention. I probably should've mentioned that Chicago is not...I live there.
I forget where I heard it, but thought that the suites for Diamonds were in a separate part in Carmel, and that there were few of them. We got a nice view with Platinum but no guarantees I guess. It's a weird fancy hotel BTW - the room we had was more like a 3-4 star hotel, but the location and feel were very nice.

Carmel has a time share section and a hotel section. The hotel section is more oriented toward the west and southwest, some with fantastic water views. The timeshare section is more oriented toward the northwest with more views over fields to the water and none with views of the rocks and Big Sur coastline. These are comfortable apartments but I always want the stunning view. The public area offers the view, whether from the lounge area, formal dining, or the outdoor deck of casual dining.
Diamonds are typically upgraded to two level townhouses in the hotel with no upgrade cert required. The bedroom is on the lower level and the kitchen/dining area/living room on the upper. There is a balcony. There are a couple one level suites both behind and below the public area and beyond the townhouses. These have phenomenal views.

Just looked back at an old post, here's the view we had from our room, it had a balcony IIRC.

I loved the Park Hyatt NY. They treat every guest like royalty. If you know how to sweet talk a little and reach out to the right people you can get a really nice upgrade as well. I got upgraded to a park suite for my wifes birthday...unreal...Ive already booked for my anniversary to stay there again
Yeah, they do, but it's pricey since they're cat 7: 15k + $300 per night.
Depending on what your other options are it might still be worth it. I absolutely loved my stay in the PH NY and im already booked back for my anniversary.
Everyone's different but Im probably going to use 30K points for my stay (the rest of my Hyatt points and transfer from UR) to me its worth it.
Used mine at the Hyatt Key West Resort & Spa. No regrets. We also had had a major flight interruption that year and what was then AirTran gave me and my spouse a voucher to fly anywhere they flew. So we had totally free flights and free weekend nights.
I've stayed in the Park Hyatt nyc, Hyatt key west, and the Hyatt zilara Jamaica they are all really great properties depending on your needs they are all great uses of a Hyatt voucher. I must say that using the voucher at a ziva/zilara is by far the best bang for your "buck" you can't compare anything to the experience at an all inclusive
