Hyatt runs the Hyatt Government Rate — no typed code; you select it in the booking engine. Below: exactly who its own terms cover, the booking path, and what the front desk asks for. The checker opens set to Hyatt.
| Government rate | Hyatt Government Rate |
| Published code | None published — the Government rate is a dropdown selection, not a typed code — Hyatt's one real typed code is MILVET, for the separate military leisure discount |
| How you book it | Choose 'Government' from the Special Rates dropdown in the hyatt.com booking window; government or military ID is required at check-in. |
| Leisure / personal stays | Not published — No explicit official-only restriction is printed for the Government rate; Hyatt's leisure product for the military community is the separate MILVET discount |
| Per-diem alignment | Hyatt's government page references U.S. Government Lodging Per Diem Rates and points to GSA; an explicit at-or-below-ceiling promise couldn't be confirmed. |
| ID at check-in | Government or military ID at check-in — without it the booking converts to Hyatt's then-current standard rate. |
| Applies across | Brand scope for the Government rate isn't published. MILVET's exclusions are explicit (see exceptions). |
Brand exceptions: The MILVET military discount excludes Miraval resorts, M life Rewards destinations, Small Luxury Hotels of the World and Hyatt Residence Club properties — Hyatt's own published carve-outs.
Hyatt's own eligibility terms, group by group. "Not published" means exactly that — Hyatt does not state it, so the front desk decides.
| Traveler | Eligible? | What Hyatt says |
|---|---|---|
| Federal civilian employees | Yes | Federal employees qualify with valid government ID, per hyatt.com's 'Welcome U.S. Government and Military Personnel' page. Hyatt's site blocked our direct checks (bot protection), so these facts were read via snapshots of Hyatt's own pages — re-verify at booking. |
| State & local government employees | Yes | State, county and local government employees are listed as eligible on Hyatt's government page (read via snapshots — Hyatt blocked direct checks when we verified). |
| Active-duty military | Yes | U.S. military personnel are eligible for the Government rate with valid ID. |
| National Guard & Reserve | Not published | Not separately addressed. |
| Military retirees | Not published | Not distinguished for the Government rate; MILVET names veterans and active duty, not retirees as such. |
| Veterans | Not published | Not named for the Government rate — veterans use the MILVET leisure discount. |
| Military spouses & dependents | Not published | Not named for the Government rate — MILVET covers immediate family. |
| Government contractors | Not published | No contractor language could be confirmed on Hyatt's own pages (one circulating claim traces to IHG's terms, not Hyatt's). |
Like most of the set (10 of 12 chains with a program), Hyatt publishes no typed code — the rate is a selection in its booking engine, so any "Hyatt government rate code" circulating on forums is unofficial by definition.
On veterans the published terms are silent — across the set only 4 of 12 programs clearly include veterans, so assume the desk decides. Our veterans page lists the chains that do say yes.
Choose 'Government' from the Special Rates dropdown in the hyatt.com booking window; government or military ID is required at check-in.
There is no code to type — the Government rate is a dropdown selection, not a typed code — Hyatt's one real typed code is MILVET, for the separate military leisure discount.
At the desk: Government or military ID at check-in — without it the booking converts to Hyatt's then-current standard rate.
Against per diem: Hyatt's government page references U.S. Government Lodging Per Diem Rates and points to GSA; an explicit at-or-below-ceiling promise couldn't be confirmed. For FY2026 the standard federal lodging per diem is $110/night — how that ceiling works is in our per-diem guide.
Hyatt's typed-code leisure discount for veterans and active-duty members in good standing, extending to immediate family — defined generously as parents, children and legal wards, spouses and domestic partners — for up to 2 rooms, still earning World of Hyatt points.
The published code is MILVET.
Excluded brands: Miraval, M life Rewards destinations, SLH properties and Hyatt Residence Club. Hyatt's site blocked our direct verification, so re-check the offer terms in the booking flow.

At the desk: Military ID, DD-214, or other proof of service at check-in.
