For August 2026, Gondola compared live cash and points rates across Washington, D.C.'s hotels and narrowed them to the 20 with the best points value, ranked by how far your points go against the cash rate. The strongest points redemption is Thompson Washington D.C., by Hyatt: 12,000 World of Hyatt points a night for a room that costs $329 in cash, about 2.74 cents per point. For a more everyday stay, Park Hyatt Washington runs 20,000 World of Hyatt points a night versus $466, around 2.33 cents per point.
