Outside the annual review, World of Hyatt moved 7 properties on Feb 25, 2026: Andaz Pattaya Jomtien Beach, Hyatt Centric Malta, Hyatt Regency Kotor Bay Resort, Hyatt Place San Antonio-Northwest/Medical Center, and Grand Hyatt Incheon all moved up one category. The opening-2026 Grand Hyatt Grand Cayman moved up two. The Barnett (JdV by Hyatt) moved down one.

Most readers fixated on the May 20 changes and missed these; they're already in effect. The Barnett dropping a category is a quiet sweet spot. Grand Hyatt Grand Cayman opening at a higher tier is the data point worth flagging for anyone planning a 2026 Caribbean trip.
