I notice Hyatt’s Headquarters are in Chicago, typically when there’s a location of a business nearby their headquarters that location (or in Hyatt’s case locations) is better overall. I’d think there would be more oversight meaning the benefits given to members should be top notch so to speak. More Glob upgrades (if available), very good breakfast, attentive staff etc.

What are your thoughts on the properties within the main city? (Excluding HR Chicago as I know the property itself is quite old and has its own issues) I know with new partnerships there’s more than a half dozen nearby.
To try to answer your question:
No, I don't think that properties in Chicago are "better" just because HQ is nearby. There are *more* Hyatt properties than would be expected because HQ is nearby. And they tend to be (though definitely not exclusively) a little bit on the older side.
