Park Hyatt Prague sits in Hyatt's mid bands at roughly 25,000 to 30,000 points a night against $400 to $550 cash in a converted Renaissance building near Old Town Square. Chase points transfer to Hyatt instantly at 1 to 1 with no fees. The Preferred's no foreign transaction fees matter in Prague because card acceptance is wide but cards are charged in koruna. Trip protection is solid coverage for what is often a multi-city Central Europe loop.

Local tip

What to know before you book.

Prague hotels charge a tourist tax of about 50 koruna per person per night that is collected in cash at checkout. Card payment is accepted nearly everywhere else in the city, but always carry a small koruna float for the older pubs in Zizkov and Vinohrady that still run cash-only.
