Hyatt US

Hyatt Place = ( Suites at a new and very modern Holiday Inn Express )
Hyatt Summerfield = Staybridge ( Summerfield's tend to have more spacious suites and less studio suites )

After the two extended stay brands, it becomes difficult. The vast majority of Crowne Plaza's , Hyatt Regency's and Interconti's are rated AAA 3 Diamond. The newer IC's are able to compete with Grand Hyatt properties in the US, Park Hyatt is in a league where IHG has nothing to offer. Andaz is far more upscale than Indigo ( construction cost per room and guest/employee ratios ) Hyatt Resorts are far more upscale than Crowne Plaza resorts, although at least CP Resort Hilton Head has a 4 Diamond rating by the AAA

Hyatt International:

Holiday Inn Express ( 3*) = not offered by Hyatt
Holiday Inn / Crowne Plaza ( 3*, mostly 4* ) = not offered by Hyatt
Interconti ( 5* ) = Hyatt Regency ( construction cost per room and guest/employee relation is higher for most Hyatt Regency's )
High end Interconti (5*) = high end Hyatt Regency / Grand Hyatt
not offered by IHG = high end Grand Hyatt ( properties like Tokyo, Shanghai, some are rated Top 100 )
not offered by IHG = Park Hyatt ( some are rated Top 50 on the planet )

I beg to differ, some of the ICs in asia are better than GH in same city

Hongkong IC is far superior to Grand Hyatt HK
Shenzhen IC is also very good, I'll be at Grand Hyatt SZ this weekend to try it out, I'll be very pleased if it can match the IC
