Pretty much a no-brainer if you stay at Hilton hotels. The $550 annual fee pays for itself with just the free night reward alone, which can be used at any standard room property — even $1,000+ per night hotels.
The strongest hotel business card if you actually stay at Hyatts. Five elite night credits + top-3-categories earning + the $100 in Hyatt credits make it pay for its $199 fee for almost any Hyatt-leaning traveler. Underrated.
