![]() The view not far from the Hyatt Carmel highlands You’re just a few miles north of some of the most gorgeous coastline you’ll see anywhere in North America, and you’re just a few miles south of Carmel-by-the-Sea, which is one of the most charming towns in California, in my opinion. ![]() The Hyatt Carmel Highlands is located just off Highway 1. The hotel portion of the property has just under 50 rooms.īy the way, some interesting context on the history here - the hotel portion of this property used to be a Park Hyatt, before just being rebranded as a plain old Hyatt. Hyatt Carmel Highlands, Overlooking Big Sur Coast & Highlands Inn, A Hyatt Residence ClubĮssentially the property is split between being a Hyatt Residence Club ( in other words, a timeshare), and being a hotel. Here’s the name of this property, which is a mouthful: You might be confused about what exactly this property is based on looking at Hyatt’s website. While I realize stuff is often priced based on the location, I (stupidly?) assumed this hotel wouldn’t be actively unappealing.įor what it’s worth, the paid rate at this hotel would have been right around $500 per night. Let me once again emphasize that Category 7 is the top category for Hyatt properties, meaning this property costs the same number of points as the Park Hyatt Paris and the Alila Ventana Big Sur. I had a Category 1-7 free night certificate from requalifying for Globalist status, so this seemed like the perfect property for using this. The Hyatt Carmel Highlands is a Category 7 World of Hyatt property, meaning that a free night redemption here costs 30,000 World of Hyatt points per night. When you add up all of those reasons, I figured this was the perfect place to spend a night! Booking the Hyatt Carmel Highlands My friend Matthew from Live and Let’s Fly raves about this property, and calls it his favorite Hyatt property in California.Since we were flying out of SFO, this would make our travel day a bit easier on the way back, and would mean we wouldn’t have to leave the Alila Ventana Big Sur super early.Carmel is such a cute town, and this hotel is only a short drive away.I figured since my mom and I were were flying all the way from Florida, we might as well spend five days on the ground, and the Alila Ventana only had award availability for three nights.So, why did we decide to stay at the Hyatt Carmel Highlands? I’ll review our stay at the Alila Ventana next, so that I save the best for last. I recently spent five nights in California with my mom - we spent the first night at the incredible Grand Hyatt SFO, then we spent three nights at the Alila Ventana Big Sur, and then we spent one more night at the Hyatt Carmel Highlands. ![]() Why we stayed at the Hyatt Carmel Highlands
