Hyatt Americas Cyber Sale: Save up to 25% on stays into April 2025
Yesterday IHG was the first of the big hotel chains to launch a Cyber Sale and it hasn't taken Hyatt long to follow suit, although the sale that Hyatt has unveiled today is considerably narrower in scope than the one IHG published yesterday. IHG's sale is valid worldwide while this Hyatt sale is limited to the Americas.
A new London Hyatt will have rooms that are just 96 square feet in...
The Hyatt Place London Paddington was originally scheduled to open earlier this year and as I was really looking forward to seeing what the new property would offer, I was a little disappointed when I discovered (back in April) that the property wouldn't be opening its doors until 2025.
Save at Destination by Hyatt properties with this targeted offer
When it comes to hotel partners, American Express usually favors Marriott, Hilton, and occasionally IHG, but we've also been seeing more Hyatt offers appearing in 2024 and a new Hyatt offer is now available in targeted member accounts.
Update on Hyatt reservations at the Tommie Hollywood
A couple of days ago we wrote about the news that Hyatt will be losing one, possibly two, of its properties in Los Angeles and as I just happen to have reservations at both of the properties in question, I can now offer an update on what Hyatt's official line appears to be and on how it's dealing with cash bookings at one of the affected properties.
Hyatt is losing one (possibly two) of its properties in Los Angeles
Even though we have a home in Los Angeles, a need to get some work done to our home means that I have to move out for a few days, and because hotel loyalty programs can still make me do irrational things, those few days were meant to see me staying at two of Hyatt properties in the city.
Why the Park Hyatt London River Thames will have to be very, very good
I'm a big fan of the Park Hyatt brand. Out of all the top brands that the major miles & points chains operate, it's my favorite. The St. Regis brand occasionally comes close, but I would choose a Park Hyatt over most InterContinental, Ritz-Carlton, and Waldorf Astoria properties in the same city.
This Hyatt Place property is now offering Globalist members two breakfast options
With Hilton having devalued its breakfast benefit at properties across the US and with more and more properties apparently doing their best to offer guests as little as they think they can get away with it, or to gouge them with indefensible Destination Fees that cover absolutely nothing of any use, it's easy to think that as far as hotel benefits go, there's only one direction that we're going in. Backwards.
Hyatt has plans for a new property in the Maldives
Hyatt currently has two hotels in the Maldives. There's the Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa (a name that never fails to make me think of someone laughing) and the Alila Kothaifaru Maldives, but going forward, there may be a third.
Hyatt is bringing the Andaz brand to Australia
Australia doesn't really offer World of Hyatt fans a lot of options as at the time of writing, there are just nine open Hyatt properties across the whole country, there are no Hyatt's west of Melbourne, and because Mr & Mrs Smith properties offer minimal benefits to guests with Hyatt status, they're not much help either.
Hyatt Regency London Albert Embankment review
The Hyatt Regency Albert Embankment is one of four Hyatt Regency Properties in London and it joined the World of Hyatt in January 2023 after spending the preceding years as the Crowne Plaza London Albert Embankment. I first visited this property just after it had joined Hyatt (the pens in the room still had Crowne Plaza markings), but as I didn't review the property at the time, I recently made space in my calendar for another visit.
Hyatt’s newest Los Angeles property is now part of the World of Hyatt
The newest Hyatt in LA county is the Hyatt Centric Delfina Santa Monica and while the property has been bookable through Hyatt for a few weeks, it was only added to the World of Hyatt on Wednesday 18 September. Don't, however, rush to book the property just yet. It's a Hyatt in name, but it probably has a little way to go before it's a Hyatt in the way that most Hyatt fans would expect and want it to be.
Sale: Save up to 20% at select Hyatt resorts
Hyatt has launched a sale in which it's offering guests up to 20% on stays made at select resorts in the United States, Latin America, and the Caribbean. The savings can be locked in for stays through the end of April next year, and this is what you need to know.
Hyatt Place London Heathrow Airport review
While Marriott, Hilton and IHG all have multiple properties at or immediately around Heathrow Airport, Hyatt has just one - the Hyatt Place London Heathrow Airport - so if you're a Hyatt loyalist, this is the property that you're likely to choose if you're not looking for anything upscale and just need a bed for a night or two.
Hyatt Regency London Blackfriars review
The Hyatt Regency Blackfriars is one of three Hyatt Regency Properties in central London (The Churchill is reviewed here) and it opened its doors in June 2023. A little over a year after the hotel welcomed its first guests, I finally had the opportunity to see what the property has to offer courtesy of a two night award booking.
Hyatt has picked up a new property in Belize (this could be good)
Hyatt has confirmed that the Placencia Resort in Belize has joined its portfolio as an affiliated hotel and said that following what sounds like a major makeover, the property will become part of the Destination by Hyatt brand and join the World of Hyatt next year.
The World of Hyatt now has a property in a ‘country’ where no other...
Generally speaking, the big name brands of the hospitality industry shun locations that can be seen as controversial or where international law has very little influence, so you may be surprised to find that the World of Hyatt now has a property in a country that isn't really a country.
Hyatt Regency London – The Churchill (Regency Suite) review
The Churchill is one of two Hyatt Regency Properties in London and for some considerable time it stood out as the best Hyatt option in the city.
The addition of the Great Scotland Yard hotel to Hyatt's portfolio in 2019 made the title of 'best Hyatt in London' a lot harder to decide, but with the Churchill still highly regarded and with my last visit to the property a distant memory, I decided to burn a free night certificate to see what the hotel is like right now.
Great Scotland Yard Hotel London review (Hyatt Unbound Collection)
Recently, I read a review of the Great Scotland Yard Hotel in which the writer called it the best Hyatt in London so, as I've always considered the Churchill to be London's best Hyatt and as my only experience of the Great Scotland Yard Hotel was 'enjoyed' during the Covid pandemic, I decided it was time to pay this property another visit.
Get up to 20% off with Hyatt in Europe, the Middle East & Africa

Earn 1,000 Etihad miles on each Hyatt stay through March
Hyatt and Etihad have announced a new promotion in which members of the Etihad Guest program can now earn 1,000 bonus miles on Hyatt stays made by the end of March. Award stays count in the same way as revenue stays, so this could represent an easy way to top up and Etihad account or to simply keep and Etihad balance alive.
Hyatt Regency Oryx Doha mini review
In the middle of a recent set of flights with Qatar Airways, I found myself (unexpectedly) staying at the Hyatt Regency Oryx Doha, and while the stay wasn't long enough for me to justify calling this report a 'full review', what you'll find in this article should be more than enough to let you know what the property is like and what it offers.
A look at seven of the major hotel best rate guarantees (what they say...
The rules of the various best rate guarantees offered by the major hotel chains and the compensation these guarantees offers can vary significantly, so what you'll find in this article is a look at each of the key guarantees currently published and some of my thoughts on what they offer.
The Hyatt Place London City East deserves credit for choosing to be better
Hyatt Place and Hyatt House properties are usually functional rather than sexy and economical rather than indulgent, so it’s not altogether surprising that we don’t often hear anyone singing their praises. In this article, however, I’m going to make sure that one Hyatt Place gets the credit that it deserves.
A big issue that I have with Hyatt’s US expansion plans
Nowadays, an easy, almost lazy, way to criticise Hyatt is to complain about the size of its footprint compared to the large footprints enjoyed by Marriott, Hilton, and IHG. But that overlooks the fact that Hyatt has been working hard to add more and more properties to the World of Hyatt program, and that overall, it has been doing a pretty good job of expanding its footprint where it can.
Hyatt Place New York/Chelsea review (City View/King Bed room)
The Hyatt Place New York/Chelsea is one of the newest of Hyatt's New York properties with the hotel officially opening its doors in December 2021. The new build property sits part way between Central Park and Lower Manhattan and a few weeks ago, I got to check it out on a layover on my way back to Los Angeles.
Another annoying junk fee at the Andaz West Hollywood
Unlike quite a few posters over on Flyertalk, I don't have much of an issue with the Andaz West Hollywood as a property (we put friends up there on 'guest of honor' bookings reasonably frequently), but I've often railed against the ridiculous and indefensible destination fee that the property charges.
These are the luxury EMEA properties that Hyatt has in the pipeline
Hyatt has issued a new update on its plans for luxury hotel openings in Europe, the Middle East and Africa and although a number of the properties included in the update have been mentioned (at one point or another) in the past, the fact that the pandemic caused so much havoc with some of these plans means that it's good to see where things now stand.
Hyatt announces plans to buy Dream Hotel Group (more properties coming to the World...
Hyatt has today announced plans to purchase Dream Hotels Group, which is expected to add twelve properties to the World of Hyatt program in the short-term and a further 24 properties in the medium term.
Chase’s Hyatt offers may work abroad even if they’re not meant to
Right now, a number of Chase credit cards are offering cardholders capped discounts of 10% or 15% on Hyatt spending made by the end of the month, but per the offer's terms and conditions, these savings are only available for spending made at Hyatt's domestic properties. Those terms, however, may not actually reflect how things really work.
Hyatt announces a new all-inclusive resort for Europe (new WoH properties coming this year)
Hyatt got into the all-inclusive resort business when it bought Apple Leisure Group for $2.7 billion back in November 2021 and just recently, it showed its commitment to expand on that purchase when it announced that it would open 5 new all-inclusive properties in Bulgaria over the next two years.
Today, that expansion continues with the news that Hyatt will open the Dreams Madeira Resort Spa & Marina in Portugal in 2024.

An in-depth review of the Hyatt Place London City East - one of the newer Hyatt properties in the British capital and the most centrally located of Hyatt's select-service London properties.
Hyatt is adding 31 existing European properties to its portfolio
It was only yesterday that I noted that Hyatt has been on a European announcement spree of late with its La Zamba property opening in Spain, news that Bulgaria will be getting Inclusive Collection resorts, the opening of the new Thompson in Madrid, and the signing of a luxury UK property, and just as I thought that the announcements would dry up, Hyatt now tells us that it has signed a deal to add 31 existing European properties to its portfolio.
Hyatt is adding a beautiful luxury UK property to its portfolio

Now, that announcement spree continues with news that Hyatt is adding a new luxury UK property to its Destination brand.

Confirmed: A new Hyatt Regency is coming to London this summer
Unofficially, we've known this for some time, but Hyatt has now finally put out an official statement confirming that it will open the Hyatt Regency London Blackfriars in the City of London later this year.
Pictures and a quick look at the new Tommie Hollywood (LA’s newest World of...
The Tommie Hollywood is the latest Hyatt property to open its doors in Los Angeles so as I'm currently back home on the West Coast and as the Tommie is only three weeks old, I took the opportunity to head over to Hollywood to see what the new property offers.
Hyatt Regency London The Churchill – Executive Suite & Regency Club Videos
The Hyatt Regency London - The Churchill is my go-to property in central London and on my last visit I decided to take a couple of videos showing what the property offers. The first video in this post is of a Hyatt Regency Executive suite that I was upgraded into and the second is of the part-reopened Regency Lounge on the property's 8th floor.
Hyatt completes the purchase of ALG Group (~100 new properties coming to the World...
It was back in August that Hyatt confirmed that it has entered into an agreement to acquire the assets of Apple Leisure Group for $2.7 billion and we were told to expect the deal to close in the fourth quarter of this year. Well, true to its word, Hyatt has now announced that the deal is done and that approximately 100 new properties have now been added to its portfolio.
Is Hyatt about to add a new Hyatt Regency in London?
A normally very reliable source has reported that an IHG property in the center of the City of London which has remained closed since the pandemic first brought life to a screeching halt, will reopen early next year. It won't, however, be reopening under its old name. Instead, it will reopen as a new Hyatt Regency.
Hyatt unveils a new Unbound Collection property in Florence, Italy
In early September, Hyatt announced that it would be adding six new European properties to its portfolio with two of those properties opening their doors to guests as early as this month. The Tribune Hotel in Rome opened just a few days ago (with no fanfare at all) and now Hyatt has confirmed that the IL Tornabuoni Hotel in Florence is accepting bookings as well.
Yet Another New Los Angeles Hyatt Will Charge A Destination Fee
The Shay, A Destination Hotel in Culver City, California, was originally slated to open in late summer 2020 but as with most hotel openings scheduled for 2020, that date was pushed back into 2021. The property is now set to open its doors on 1 November 2021 but unless you have top-tier Globalist status or you're planning to use World of Hyatt points, you probably shouldn't be in too much of a rush to visit.
Hyatt Announces Six New European Properties
Hyatt is back with another announcement featuring new properties that it will be adding to its portfolio and as has been the case in a number of the hotelier's recent statements, the new properties will all be located in Europe.

Pictures Of The New Thompson Hollywood (A World Of Hyatt Property)
The Thomson Hollywood opened its doors a little over two weeks ago so in between the meetings and endless zoom calls that seem to have taken over my life, I took the opportunity to take a walk to Hyatt's latest Los Angeles property to see what it was like.
Tip: Hyatt Properties Showing No Award Availability May Have Bookable Award Nights
I've just been checking for award availability at a Hyatt property in California and stumbled across a small but potentially significant anomaly that I didn't know about - it's possible for the Hyatt website to display no award availability for your chosen travel dates when the property that you'd like to stay at actually has rooms available for award bookings on the dates in question.
Be Careful. Another New Hyatt Will Charge You A “Destination Fee”
I’m a big fan of Hyatt and I make no apologies for believing that the World of Hyatt program is the best major hotel loyalty program around…and by some considerable difference. I am, however, getting more than a little tired of seeing an ever-increasing number of World of Hyatt properties charging guests inexcusable Resort/Destinations fees. It’s also very disappointing to see that a new Hyatt that’s soon to open in Los Angeles will be adding this rip-off fee to most guest’s folios.
Hyatt & SVC Reach Agreement – Only Five US Hyatt Properties To Disappear
At the beginning of January, it looked like Hyatt was going down a similar path to both Marriott and IHG as it entered into a dispute with an owner of 22 properties that were flagged under the Hyatt Place brand. At that point, it looked like Services Properties Trust was going to move control of its Hyatt Place properties to Sonesta, but following negotiations, it now seems that an agreement has been reached in the case of 17 of those 22 properties.
Hyatt Plans To Open Six New Properties In India In 2021
India already has over 30 Hyatt properties spread across the vast country with most Hyatt brands represented, but 2021 will see a further 6 properties (across two brands) added to Hyatt's India portfolio and the hotelier plans to have over 50 properties in the country by 2023.
Hyatt Has Opened Two Great-Looking Luxury Properties In California

Hyatt Lists 13 New Properties That It Will Open In 2021
Back in December, Hyatt announced that it expects to open 13 new US lifestyle brand properties in 2021, in January it announced that it was adding 3 more properties to its European portfolio, and now it has named a further 16 properties that it says we can expect to open their doors and welcome guests at various points this year.
Impressions: The Hyatt Place West London Hayes (A Mini Review)
The Hyatt Place West London Hayes is one of two Hyatt properties in the vicinity of London Heathrow and it's the cheapest Hyatt property in the UK. I visited this property earlier in the year as part of a mattress run on my way to Hyatt Globalist status so what follows are some of the pictures I took during my stay and a few observations from my visit.
Is Hyatt About To Lose 22 Properties In The United States?
Two of the more interesting bits of fallout that we've seen from the current crisis have been IHG losing over 100 North American properties in August 2020 and Marriott losing 122 properties in North America in October 2020 and both of those events had one thing in common - the owner of the hotels. Now it looks like Hyatt may be going down a similar (if slightly different) road with the same owner.
Hyatt Expects To Open 13 New Lifestyle Brand Properties In The United States In...
Hyatt has announced that 2020 has seen it open 7 new US properties across its Thompson and Hyatt Centric brands and it has also now confirmed that it expects to see a further 13 new properties (from the Alila, Hyatt Centric, and Thompson brands) open up across the United States in 2021.

Great News: London Is Finally Getting A Park Hyatt
I'm an unabashed fan of most Park Hyatt properties so I'm always especially happy when news of a new property drops into my inbox. Last year saw the announcement of a new Park Hyatt for Los Angeles and now we're getting details that London will be getting a new Park Hyatt within a couple of years.
Hyatt Resorts Introduce “Work From Hyatt” Packages
As hotels continue to struggle to get their occupancy levels moving in the right direction, we're starting to see the more forward-thinking properties and chains adapting to the "new normal" by introducing plans and packages to suit the current environment. Hyatt's latest idea is to offer the "Work From Hyatt" package which aims to allow individuals, couples, and families to combine work and relaxation all in once place and away from the confines of home.
Hyatt Is Offering 10,000 Points To Guests Cancelling Non-Refundable Reservations
Hyatt CEO Mark Hoplamazian is in the process of sending out emails to Hyatt loyalists detailing all the precautionary measures that the hotel chain is taking in the light of the worldwide coronavirus situation and to reinforce Hyatt's "increased flexibility with travel planning".
Hyatt Opens The Grand Hyatt At SFO
Hyatt has announced that the Grand Hyatt at SFO is now open and accepting guests and this means that San Francisco Airport now has its first on-airport hotel.
Hyatt Is Launching A New Brand – “Caption By Hyatt”
Hyatt has announced that it will be launching a new "lifestyle brand within the select service category" which will be called Caption by Hyatt but the hotelier hasn't actually said when we can expect to see the first property open its doors or where the brand will be launched.
Quick Look: Hyatt Regency DFW – King Runway View Room
Recently, I had a brief overnight stay at the Hyatt Regency at Dallas/Ft. Worth and, although I wasn’t there long enough to try out a lot of what the hotel offers, I thought I’d share a few images and thoughts in case any readers are thinking about booking this property and would like to know what to expect.

Hyatt Says It Will Double Its Presence In Canada By 2022
Hyatt has been on quite a run recently and it looks like it's planning to continue that run for a few more years. Recently, the hotelier has been adding more and more SLH properties to the World of Hyatt program, it has announced a significant expansion on the West Coast and now Hyatt tells us that we can expect a doubling of its Canadian portfolio over the coming 3 years.
Is Another Hyatt Property Playing Games With Award Availability?
For the past few months it has been Marriott's Bonvoy program that has been in the spotlight for, amongst other things, increasing the number of points needed for award bookings and allowing its various brands to pick and choose which benefits they're happy to offer elite guests...but Marriott isn't alone when it comes to shenanigans within its loyalty program.
An Update On The New Andaz West Hollywood ‘Destination Fee’
Last month I noticed that one of my preferred hotels in Los Angeles, the Andaz West Hollywood, had quietly introduced a $23.10 destination fee for all non-award bookings (award bookings appeared to have escaped the fee) and I managed to get the Andaz to comment on the new surcharge.
Amazing! Hyatt Has Actually Improved Its Best Rate Guarantee
There was a time where the best rate guarantees offered by the big hotel chains were a valuable tool in getting great deals but over the past few years most programs have watered down their guarantees to such an extent that they're not often worth very much (some don't seem to be worth anything at all).
Hyatt Adds Thompson Hotels To The World Of Hyatt (Bonus Points Available)
Over the past year Hyatt has been doing a good job of expanding the opportunities available to its World of Hyatt members by adding a significant number Small Luxury Hotel (SLH) properties to the list of hotels at which members can earn and burn Hyatt points....and now the expansion continues.
The Andaz West Hollywood Replied To My Post On Its ‘Destination Charge’…..And It’s Nonsense
Yesterday I published a post in which I shone a spotlight on the Andaz West Hollywood as I pointed out that the property has started charging guests a 'Destination Fee' of $23.10 per night on top of whatever nightly rate is on offer.
As usual the post got sent out on Twitter but this time I also specifically sent a tweet to the Andaz West Hollywood (with a link to the post) to see if I could get the property to address the points I made.
Another Hyatt Property Quietly Introduces A “Destination Fee”
The Andaz West Hollywood happens to be one of my favorite Hyatt hotels but I’m going to have to call the property out for what appears to be a very underhand and customer unfriendly move.
A New Park Hyatt For Los Angeles As Hyatt Announces 40 New West Coast...
Hyatt has always offered a pretty compelling loyalty program even if it has made qualifying for its top-tier status a monumental challenge for those of us who aren't road warriors.
The problem with Hyatt has always been that its relatively small footprint makes it incredibly difficult to be loyal to the program as, in many locations, there simply isn't a Hyatt property at which to stay.
Hyatt Is Offering Bounties Of Up To $4,000 If You Can Hack Its Websites
Cyber crime is a thing we have to live with nowadays and announcements of major hacks seem to be getting more commonplace.
The Equifax hack was probably the most publicised hack from the past 18 months but the recent admission by Marriott that details of up to 383 million guests were compromised makes the hotelier the victim of one of the largest hacks so far....and things won't stop there.
Hyatt Adds A New Property In Barcelona (And You Can Book It Now)
One of the biggest issues a lot of miles & points fans have with Hyatt is that it doesn't exactly have a large footprint of properties across the world. This makes it hard to be loyal to the chain (and earn status) and it means that World of Hyatt points are harder to use than the currencies issued by the other major hoteliers....but Hyatt is trying to do something about this.
Hyatt Is Getting A New London Property
Hyatt has announced that two yet-to-open properties are set to join its Unbound Collection in 2018. One of the properties is Istanbul (more on that one a little later) while the other is set to open in the very heart of London.
Review: Andaz West Hollywood King Suite
A few weeks back Joanna, MJ and I spent six nights in a King Suite at the Andaz West Hollywood. It's a property I know quite well (having lived down the road from it for 5 years) and it's a property I've stayed at a few times in the past....but never with Joanna and MJ.
I've already discussed why we booked the Andaz how much it cost in a previous post so I'll move straight on to the review.
Review: Grand Hyatt Sao Paulo
Some time ago I visited Sao Paulo on a crazy itinerary that saw me spend as many nights on American Airlines aircraft as I did in Sao Paulo (I earned a lot of miles and elite qualifying miles on that trip!) but, rather annoyingly, the flash drive on which I stored all my pictures became corrupted and so I haven't been able to publish any reviews...until now.
I've finally managed to recover my files from the Sao Paulo trip so I thought I'd share the pictures I took of the Grand Hyatt and add add my thoughts on teh service and the property.
Hyatt Will Add The Párisi Udvar Hotel in Budapest To Its Unbound Collection
Hyatt has announced that it has entered into a franchise agreement which will see the Bruden House hotel in the centre of Budapest renovated into what Hyatt is calling "an upper-upscale 110-room hotel".
The property is expected to reopen as the Párisi Udvar Hotel "in 2018" - there is no indication in the press release when in 2018 we can expect the doors to open.
Hyatt Regency Tokyo – King Room In Pictures
In an earlier post I explained the thinking behind my decision to give up a reservation at the Park Hyatt Tokyo in favor of the Hyatt Regency Tokyo so this was the hotel Joanna and I stayed at on our recent trip.
I reviewed this Hyatt Regency earlier in the year so another full review seems a little pointless...instead I thought I'd share a little more info and some pictures of our room as it was slightly different to the room I had earlier in the year.
Review: Hyatt Regency Tokyo
The Hyatt Regency Tokyo, in partnership with a few other central Tokyo hotels, offers a paid bus service from both Narita and Haneda airports but, as I wasn't in the mood to be driven around Tokyo as others were being dropped off art their hotels, I chose to take the train into Shinjuku station and walk the 1,000 yards to the hotel.
Review: Hyatt Regency Hong Kong – Harbour View King Room (Part 2)
I ended Part 1 of this review with a bit of a cliff-hanger saying that the Hyatt Regency Hong Kong offers the single best amenity I've ever seen offered by a hotel...and I really don't think I'm exaggerating.
If you don't happen to have access to a great roaming deal (like T-Mobile offers in the US) then you're likely to be at the mercy of wifi hotspots when you travel abroad...but not if you visit the Hyatt Regency in Hong Kong.
Review: Hyatt Regency Hong Kong – Harbour View King Room (Part 1)
The Hyatt Regency Hong Kong (full name: Hyatt Regency Hong Kong, Tsim Sha Tsui) is located on the mainland side of Hong Kong right in the middle of Kowloon and in a very good position to explore that area of Hong Kong. It's also within a short walk (10 - 15 minutes) to the harbour where you can catch a ferry to Hong Kong Island....which is useful if you plan to visit Victoria Peak.
Grand Hyatt San Francisco – Grand Club Lounge Review
Our stay at the Grand Hyatt in San Francisco was part of Joanna's mystery tip (introduction is here) and I posted my review of the suite and the hotel yesterday. Today I'm taking a look at the Club Lounge that the Grand Hyatt San Francisco offers.
Review: Grand Hyatt San Francisco – Executive Suite
There were two things that were never in much doubt about our visit to San Francisco - we would be staying at a Hyatt property and we'd be staying at least 4 nights. The reason I was keen for us to stay at a Hyatt was because I wanted to use one of my Diamond Suite upgrades that comes with my Hyatt status and the reason for staying at least 4 nights was because I wanted to make use of the "4th night free" benefit that comes with my Citi Prestige credit card.

Review: Andaz West Hollywood – “View King” Room
After having successfully matched my Marriott Platinum status to Hyatt Diamond status back in November, I was looking forward to seeing what top-tier status in the Hyatt Gold program was all about with my first Hyatt stay as a Diamond member.
Review: Andaz 5th Avenue – New York
One of the biggest selling points of the Andaz 5th Avenue is it's location. Unless you need to be towards the bottom of Manhattan (Wall Street/Financial area) most of the major places people will want to visit are within easy walking distance.
