Hyatt properties in or very close to airports
I've been trying to learn about Hyatt properties that are actually on the airport grounds or within a walkable distance from the terminals. So far, I've been focusing on major USA locations, but please feel free to suggest ones in other countries that satisfy the criteria.
I'm especially interested in identifying which ones have lounges (although I expect all lounges to be closed due to COVID-19) and the realistic logistics of getting between the airport terminal and the hotel with luggage. Please suggest corrections and additions to the list.
AUS: HP (new-ish, apparently no thread on FT). Located adjacent to the airport, beyond airport parking from the terminal. Folks have suggested that the roadway might not be suitable for walking.
DCA: HR Crystal City, AFAICT no lounge. Hotel offers free airport shuttle service, but folks on FT have suggested that it's walkable.
DFW: GH, IIRC has lounge. Located in Terminal D with "skylink" to all terminals. AmEx Centurion lounge is located in Terminal D.
DFW: HR, seems to have lounge. Located next to Terminal C with free 24 hour shuttle serving all terminals. There's supposedly a way to walk to the hotel from Terminal C which seems to go through a parking ramp and up and down a few flights of stairs.
LAX: HR just beyond thew airport, closest to T1/T2 (WN and DL), has lounge. It's a pretty easy walk (sidewalk and IIRC two places to cross the street at a red light with crosswalk) from the arrivals level of T1/T2 by just going to your left upon exiting the terminal and continuing to follow the sidewalk. I'd allow 10-15 minutes with luggage. From the departures level, there's a flight or two of stairs at the end of the airport (if you haven't already used an elevator or escalator in a terminal to go down to arrivals level) and IMO it's a bit isolated and dark (at night) there. Hotel also has a frequent free shuttle, shared with the parking ramp behind the hotel. From TBIT, it's further but the same idea: go left upon leaving the terminal and walk toward/past T2, where you should go inside to go down to the arrivals level if necessary. From T4/5/6/7, you could walk the long way past TBIT and T2 or try to cut through the parking ramps (IMO confusing and requires stairs) or walk out of the airport past T7 and then take a left at the first major cross street after leaving the airport.
MCO: HR in terminal (no lounge?????).
PIT: HR, apparently with no lounge, connected to terminal by an enclosed moving walkway.
SFO: GH with lounge. Accessed by the little train that goes around to connect the terminals, but some people on FT have reported being able to walk down on the roadway level, although there aren't good sidewalks.

SAN: Some people claim that some of the downtown hotels are walkable from the airport since it's so close to town, but it would be a long walk. Among Hyatt properties, there's an Andaz (no longe) and Manchester GH (with lounge).
