What is the highest tier of Hyatt?

In Hyatt's elite status program, the top tier is Hyatt Globalist. Attaining Globalist status is not easy. But once you have it, it's ultra-valuable, with generous perks like suite upgrades, lounge access and free breakfast. In fact, Hyatt Globalist comes in at No.



As of 2026, the highest earned elite status in the World of Hyatt loyalty program is Globalist. To achieve this prestigious tier, members must stay 60 qualifying nights or earn 100,000 Base Points in a calendar year. Globalist status offers the most comprehensive benefits in the program, including complimentary breakfast for two adults and two children, access to club lounges, 4:00 PM late check-out, and the ability to be upgraded to standard suites upon arrival. Additionally, the "Guest of Honor" benefit allows Globalists to share their perks with friends or family on award stays. For the most loyal travelers, there is also Lifetime Globalist status, which is awarded once a member earns 1,000,000 Lifetime Base Points. This permanent status ensures you never have to requalify and includes additional annual perks like Suite Upgrade Awards and a dedicated My Hyatt Concierge agent for life.
