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.

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.
