This property is one of my favorite Hyatts in North America. As a Diamond/Globalist, I have always had a townhouse or suite with a stunning view over Big Sur. I am enjoying our current stay but am noticing more than ever the number of stairs it takes to reach anything. Breakfast used to be served in a room close to ground level in the main building. Now that has been closed, and the interior is being used as a gallery. Breakfast is served in Pacific Edge that is at the top of the property. Yes, you get a great view but I always enjoyed the view from the balcony of the breakfast room. The only elevator in the main building is for staff so it means several sets of steps up to the check in area and Pacific Edge. Pacific Edge has been extended and now has an exterior balcony. I've taken a picture from our room that allows you to see this. We were given townhouse 503. It has the clearest view of the water of any of the townhouses we have had here.
