I have scanned through the whole thread on SZ Hyatt but I could't find much details on the Club Lounge. Do you think it is worthwhile to pay RMB 600 ($90) daily to access the Club Lounge.
I have just made a booking using the BEST RATE GUARANTEE for my booking. However, the site that provides a lower rate than Hyatt website does not show any Club Room, thus, I can only make my booking for the cheapest room.
As I do not have any status with Hyatt (unlike most of the Diamond FT'ers), I can only pay to access the lounge. I called up SZ Hyatt Reservation office and was told that the upgrade to Club Lounge would be RMB 600 ($90).
I need your valuable advice on the following :
1) I have seen the comments from fellow FT'ers who have visited the Club lounge to be good but I am unsure whether it is value for money and worthwhile to pay RMB 600 daily. Or should I use the RMB 600 to dine at the restaurants for Lunch and Dinner instead? I am staying alone and do not feel like leaving the hotel.
2) Prior to checking in at SZ Hyatt, I would be staying in Intercontinental SZ Club room with Club Lounge Access. Can any FT'ers who have visited these 2 Lounges provide an insight and comparison between these 2 Lounges (Sorry. Not sure whether any comparison is allowed here) so that I can make informed decision after my stay with IC SZ.
All comments and advice are welcomed.
Thanks for your feedback and help.
Wishing Everyone a Happy New Year in advance and let's hope we shall see more good deals for the year ahead.

It's on the high side, but is a terrific lounge (food and ambiance). It depends. If you use it to the fullest, and have breakfast, and essentially dinner, including 2-4 drinks, it could pay for itself. If you drink more, bring a drink and some sodas to your room, each there for dinner, it could translate into a savings, depending on what else you might be doing. The hotel is great. I'll tell you what I think is worth it in spades, and that's the difference between a standard room and a deluxe room (usually about rmb 200) the deluxe rooms are very large and very cool. The hotel may let you pay extra directly to UG to a deluxe room if you are on a prepaid rate, or they may not. I'd call the club lounge and ask for the woman who's the club manager.
