25,000 UA Miles would equal _20,000____ Hyatt Points
because 25K UA is one-quarter of a roundtrip business class flight to Europe. For me, 4 nights in Park Hyatt Paris or Zurich is roughly equal to that flight. That would be 22,000 points. However, because one has to pay taxes on airline awards but not on hotel awards, I'm discounting a bit for taxes.

25,000 DL Miles would equal _16,000____ Hyatt Points
because while I know theoretically DL business flights are also 100K to Europe, availability is nowhere near as good.
