If you are using DSU's, aren't you a diamond with club access anyways?

Booked a room in early January with P+C and DSUs, looks like they booked me in a city view room. Not a huge deal as long as the view from the lounge is very good as I probably would spend more waking hours in the lounge than in the room, what do you guys think?

The City view "Regency Suite" is the standard DSU suite. I have so far not managed to get the Harbour View Regency Suite.

As you correctly point out, the view from the lounge is very nice particularly due to the double floor ceiling-height windows.

I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights a few days ago and I received a standard Harbour View Room (not suite) a couple of floors below the lounge.

That doesn't mean anything this far out.

Although as noted by others, the standard DSU is to a city view Regency Suite. I did get the harbour view on a DSU earlier this year. It's not really the true harbour view, as the Regency Suites are on the ends of the building. But still a nice view.

Opinions vary on the Regency Suite configuration, as you will see if you dig into this thread a bit. I personally liked it. But it is not especially spacious.

The view from the lounge is absolutely spectacular. I found the lounge spread, including the breakfast, rather lacking.

Overall a very nice property, surely one of the nicest HR's in the world.

Hyatt Regency HK Tsim Sha Shui using Chase Free Nights

I got a twin room city view with my free nights at Hyatt Regency Hong Kong TST.

As a platinum member, can i request for an upgrade to harbour view or early checkin?

TIA!

You can ask like I did on points/visa free nights and was politely told no, that the harbor rooms were not available. BTW, I'm also a platinum member.
Good luck!

If the view is that important to you, if a complimentary upgrade is declined, ask if it would be available for a cash co-pay - it could be possible to do this. Early checkin - YMMV depending on the time and occupancy the night before.

Here in 6 days, I have not received an email from the property. Platinum, using more points for lounge access. Checking in around 10 pm...which makes my chances for an upgrade (harbour view or, gasp, a suite) severely limited it appears.

Does anyone have a contact for this Janice lady who is willing to share? By PM perhaps?

Thank you.

I would say not good. As platinum I really haven't gotten any upgrades. Even as Diamond, the upgrades were slim pickens.

I can double and triple confirm Hyatt TST will NOT give upgrades for platinums.

They will only give you "high floor" rooms. They said upgrades and the top floor rooms are exclusively for Diamond members.

Noneoftheless , the service is still great, just this property cares most for Diamond.

Stayed here last weekend on a point stay, as a diamond only got the 15 floor room facing HK but it did not bother me much since I was traveling solo. What bugs was the fact that wifi was painfully slow. Sometimes it was on and off. Has anyone experience the same issue in their rooms?

They told me to tether the free cell phone for faster internet

And while the view is definitely not as spectacular as the view from the lounge, you do get the harbour view from the bath tub And the mixed harbour/city view is still pretty spectacular.

Overall a very pleasant stay and I would definitely return. Enjoyed the TST location, particularly running the Kowloon waterfront first thing in the morning.
Have stayed in the exact same room last year, and yup, the configuration is odd, but it works.

Staying at the hotel again early January during a 36 hour transit in HKG, as a Diamond on a points+pay reservation. Lets see what room I end up in!
