There are tons of these threads where people simply won't accept that for a very few special events, think Super Bowl in the US, it's expensive because there's demand.
Here's the link to it... and the hotel's out...

3. Hyatt Gold Passport Free Night Awards apply when standard rooms are available at the Hyatt Daily Rate. Standard rooms are defined by each hotel and are not subject to blackout dates. Hyatt Gold Passport Free Night Awards cannot be redeemed for packages.
The Hyatt daily rate for this property one week before the race is 329 euro, and it is available as a reward for 20k points per night. This is the Hyatt daily rate and is not discounted.

The OP said a room was offered for more than 600 euro per night during the race. That is not a standard rate, nor is it the Hyatt daily rate.
