Any insights, please post!
The Hyatt is closer to shopping and dining with Robson Street, Granville Street, and Pacific Center a short walk away. There is not as much dining or shopping around the Westin.
As a SPG Plat you will likely be upgraded to a Jr. Suite in the main building which, if on the right side, can have a view towards Canada Place and the new Convention center. The opposite side will be more of a marina and partial Stanley Park view.
Using your DIamond suite upgrade you will get the Deluxe suite which is basically a standard room connected to a parlor room -- you can usually get the Deluxe Suite on e-standby upgrade for about $59 extra. The Regency Club is great at the Hyatt with a decent continental spread in the morning and a decent spread in the evening. Access to transit is way better at the Hyatt as well.
