Best domestic uses of Chase Hyatt Visa free night certificates

One of the many perks of the Chase Hyatt Visa card (aside from 2 free nights at any Hyatt in the world just for signing up) is a free night certificate at a Hyatt category 1-4 property.  Because you only get this free night after renewing your card for a 75$ annual fee, its really only worth it if you plan on getting more than 75$ of value out of it.  I have made 2 top 5 lists.  One for the best domestic options and one for International properties, you can see my international top 5 in an upcoming post.
A full list of hyatt category 4 properties can be found here.

1. Hyatt Escala Lodge, Park City Utah: Category 4.  Slope side accommodations at a world class ski resort.  Peak season prices can go for as much as $500/night

2. Hyatt Regency San Francisco or Hyatt Fisherman's Wharf: Category 4.  Summer rates in San Francisco are always steep.  Both of these properties are centrally located and peak season rates can go for as much as $500/night.
