Good evening all,
As the title suggests, my family, wife, 18 yr old daughter at the time of travel, and I are planning a trip to Paris as part of a bigger European trip in July 2026. We have never been to Europe and as you might expect, it is a bit overwhelming. I will muddle through planning most of the other parts but I need some help from you experts on the different Hyatt hotels and my options for booking my family, particulariy because there are three of us. From what I read on here and elsewhere, it is pretty common in Europe for only double occupancy in standard rooms unlike here in the states. Obviously we have three in my family and I am just trying to figure out realistic options for getting my family all in one room on points or if I would need two rooms. I have browsed Hyatts site and explored the four (i think) main hotels in the heart of Paris. From this forum, I see most prefer Park Hyatt or Hotel du Lourve over the others. We would like to stay 2-3 nights in Paris. I am newer to the points game but have accumulated a good stash of points and this trip will be our first points booking so I dont really know from experience how all this works in real life.
1.) Which hotels would be able to accommodate us all in one room, if any? Ive read some people bend the occupancy rules a bit, but thats probably not a good idea I assume.
2.) I dont think rollaway beds are a thing at any of these hotels right?
3.) Obviously I could book two rooms if available try to get connecting? Are these requests granted usually if for families? I see online you cannot book two rooms on points at one time, so would I need to call that in so I can guarantee both rooms get booked?
4.) From what Ive read, I think Hyatt is bookable on points 13 months in advance. Is there a typically time when the most points bookings are available...IE Should I look 13 months out for the best chance to find something like may work for my family?
5.) Are suites that would accommodate us 3 even be bookable with points? Maybe Ive seen this on one of the hotel sites where you have to use points plus cash....maybe..lol
Sorry for so many questions but I want to get this right.. This trip is to celebrate our only childs high school graduation and last "family" trip before she goes off to college and my wife has "trusted" me with getting it right...you married men out there know the pressure in that statement...lol
Thank you in advance!!
