HotelXray: Compare Hyatt Rates, Awards and Upgrades at a Glance
See a month of Hyatt cash rates, points, upgrades, club lounges and award alerts together in one Chrome side panel.
Last updated
HotelXray puts a month of Hyatt cash rates, points prices, cents-per-point values, suite options, club lounge details and alerts beside hyatt.com. Compare dates and hotels without opening every rate screen one by one.
It turns information scattered across search results, property pages and separate research into one Chrome side panel, helping flexible travelers spot better values and monitor stays faster.
Compare an entire month
On a hotel page, HotelXray organizes available dates into a monthly calendar. Each date can show:
- The points price for a standard room
- The available cash rate
- The resulting cents-per-point value
- Points + Cash options
- Standard and premium suite availability
- The value of applying a Suite Upgrade Award
Filters let you switch between rooms and suite types, change the displayed rate components and convert cash prices into another supported currency. This makes it easier to identify dates where an award offers unusually strong value or where paying cash may be the better choice.
HotelXray fetches current rate and availability information as you browse. You can also refresh a hotel or date on demand.
Compare hotels from the search page
HotelXray also works alongside Hyatt search results. The side panel displays a compact calendar for each result so that you can compare nearby hotels over the same dates without opening every property individually.
Hotels with a researched club lounge are grouped separately. This is useful for travelers whose stay includes lounge access through status, a Guest of Honor booking or a Club Access Award.
Research club lounges before choosing a hotel
The presence of a club lounge does not explain what the lounge offers or whether it fits a particular stay. HotelXray researches published lounges and summarizes details such as:
- Location and operating hours
- Breakfast service
- Evening food and drinks
- Closure days or access restrictions
- Important caveats reported for the property
Because lounge operations change, confirm time-sensitive details with the hotel.
Set rate and award alerts
When the right room or award is not available yet, HotelXray can continue checking after you leave the Hyatt website.
An alert can monitor a stay for conditions such as a cash-price threshold, points threshold or standard-room award availability. Advanced alert options include flexible dates, any-day matches, suite targeting and Points + Cash thresholds.
HotelXray shows its work. Every alert includes an Alert check log with every check HotelXray runs, when it ran, the cash and points values it found, and whether those values met your conditions.
When HotelXray finds a match, it sends an email with the observed result and a direct booking link.
The guide Stop Refreshing Hyatt: Rate and Award Alerts That Show Every Check follows one alert from setup through its check log and match email.
Recover when Hyatt opens to a blank page or white screen
Hyatt occasionally opens to a blank page or white screen in Chrome. HotelXray detects the problem and offers a one-click Fix it now action designed to keep you signed in.
The illustrated guide Hyatt Website Blank in Chrome? Two Ways to Fix the White Screen covers both the HotelXray prompt and a manual Chrome fix without HotelXray.
No Hyatt password required
HotelXray never asks for your Hyatt username or password. Start comparing dates, rates and lounge details without creating a HotelXray account. Create an account when you want to save alerts, manage account settings or subscribe to Pro.
Who HotelXray is for
HotelXray is intended for travelers who want to compare several dimensions of a Hyatt stay instead of evaluating one quoted rate in isolation. It is particularly useful when:
- Your dates are flexible
- You are deciding between cash and points
- You are evaluating suite or upgrade options
- Club lounge access affects your hotel choice
- You want to monitor availability rather than repeat the same search
